** A few illegal bids, but overall much better than last week**

** All Tag owners have until Monday night at 11:59PM est to announced match/compensation**

** Reminder on Matching (after last weeks confusion)**

Now the holder of the tag only has to match the AAS, they do not have to match the years and can rearrange the salaries as they see fit for their team, as long as they are following the rules for salary spread.

Here are the guidelines for the tag holder on deciding the years of the contract.

If AAS <= $3M, 1 - 6 years.
If the offer is 500k - 749k you can only keep them for a maximum of 3 years at this salary, but you have the option to raise it to 750k and keep them 4-6 years
If AAS > $3M, 2 - 6 years
If AAS > $6M, 2 - 6 years
If AAS > $9M, 3 - 6 years
If AAS > $12M, 3 - 6 years
If AAS > $15M, 4 - 6 years
