14D contracts

[João]

Hi guys, just a couple of questions about 14D contracts:

1. When a player is offered a 14D, does he automatically sign it or does it work like a normal UFA bid? For example, if someone posts an offer of a 14D to a player, can someone else offer a "normal" contract on top of that and "steal" him?

2. While a player is signed to a 14D contract, can he be offered a normal contract? And if so, does that imply immediate termination of the 14D contract or is he only signed when the 14D ends? 

Any clarification would be helpful.

Thanks and happy holidays!

1. He is automatically signed for 14 days.

2. No. Only after the 14 days can he be offered another contract, 14D or UFA one.

Alright, thanks Jose!

Just to add another question regarding 14D contracts:

Can we sign multiple 14D contracts simultaneously, or that overlap each other?

There appears to be nothing in the rules preventing that, so long as it still fits within our limit of 5. So I just wanted to make sure this is legal before thinking about trying it.

Thanks.

We can have multiple 14D contracts. No problem with that.
