We kinda missed/forgot about the last free agency period scheduled January 8th, 2010 or no one wanted any one. Anyways with the fairly low demand there's no point to have these scheduled free agency periods and will now be open every sim day. As long as you submit your free agent offers (*.SHF file) to the free agent forum before sim time, you should be able to see the results in time for the next sim.
Starting this week is a game to help buff up that bank account a bit. BFHL Sports Action is designed to give you free money, that is if you win! You could get up to $1.5 million each week! Submit your lotto tickets in the BFHL Lotto forum, go there for more game details.
