I was just re-reading the rules set out about restricted free agency, and there was a lot of talk about qualify offers ect and agents. WHo decided if a player accepts a offer or not? I don't quite understand this part of it.
The player agent for the respective conference will be in contract negotiations involving RFAs.
The process goes a little something like this; You send an offer to the Player Agent's (Will have one agent for the east and one agent for the west) email address, listing your new contract you'd like to sign the RFA to after this season. Contracts do not go into effect until the next season. In your negotiations with the agent they will typically be looking for a fair offer from you to resign their client. Resigning RFAs might require some haggling to reach a fair deal, but shouldn't be anything drastic. The BOD does have the ability to step into a contract negotiation if they feel it is too high or too low.
The signing process to start signing RFAs is close to the middle of the season, maybe a little earlier. and I hope that answered your question.

Okay that makes sense. So it's definately subjective. I guess we can't take things into consideration, like age and signing with a good team for a little cheaper to win the cup they've never won, or playing for cheaper in their hometown ect haha? I guess it will pretty much go straight forward with the rating of the player...
Would you mind telling the advantages/disadvantages to signing players to larger or smaller signing bonuses?
Signing Bonuses in a Salary Cap league really help with the finances.
One thing we look at for contracts is $$ per year of the contract the player signed.
Joe Shmoe gets a contract offers of: 1- 3 years, $1,200,000 a year and a $750,000 signing bonus. ($1,450,000/year) 2- 4 years, $1,400,000 a year and a $1,000,000 signing bonus. ($1,650,000/year) 3- 2 years, $1,000,000 a year and a $900,000 signing bonus. ($1,450,000/year)
He is more likely to take offer 2, it gives him more money.
Offering a larger signing bonus will reduce the amount you pay him per game, while you are exchanging the amount to pay him at the signing time. Signing Bonuses come out of the Funds and do not affect the cap. It's a give and take system. You may want to offer one player a higher SB than the other just so the player doesn't count against the cap as much.
Also, as a GM using the system in the BRHL2 and BRHL I've found that it is safer to offer signing bonuses to your higher end talent. It cuts down on his yearly salary (like I've said earlier) and the players' tradability is increased due to you already paying a portion of the contract just in the signing bonus.
There are a lot of theories other GMs may have on signing bonuses, but those are mine.
