Thats right, 7 DAYS from the end of the draft.
Its doesn't state 7 days and a few minutes, not close of business on the 7th day, not anytime on the 7th day.
7 days is 7 days.
You had 7 days from the end of the draft. You matched after 7 days and 1 hour which was too late.
It is the same as free agent matching, you don't get 24 hours and a few minutes you get 24 hours.
You had 7 days or 168 hours or 4032 minutes or 241920 seconds to sign him and you didn't.
Wiseman is an unrestricted free agent.

It's still within 7 days. When you set a deadline of 7 days you get 7 whole days not to the minute and seconds.
When you state midnight on date X AEDT that I get is black and white.

If I told you that you had 7 days to do something from today. It's not to this second.

If I stated midnight next Saturday AEDT than thats more specific. No one takes 7 days as literally to this second.

The two cases are different.

No you don't.
By your way of thinking we can still bid on free agents at 24 hours and 59 minutes?
Come on.
Maths is simple.
7 days is 7 days, not the end of the 7th day.
Have a look at the time of the last pick in the draft. Now you have until that time 7 days later. You were late.

He is a free agent, so bid away.

When legal notice is given in days it is inclusive of the entire day. Not to the second.

Free agent bidding specifically states 24 hours.

Legal notice? Spare me. Im not sure why you can't grasp time. 7 days in the context of the rules of this game is 7 days. 24 hours in the context of the rules of this game is 24 hours. Both are measured to the second. Man up, admit you forgot to sign him within the time frame set out in the rules and lets move on.

We are still within 7 days.

Legally the 28th is considered day 0. And it's 7 days from there, which is until the end of today.

We aren't, we are now 7 days and nearly 3 hours removed from the end of the draft, but lets just move on.
I am sure that the dispute resolution board will look into it.

download.asic.gov.au/media/1236838/rg-7.pdfThe Australian Security and Investment Regulartory Guide definition in relation to the application of days states that it takes no account in relation to fraction of days but only the beginning or end of days when an act is done.

Thanks Jackie Chiles.
Whats next, you going to report the league to the ACCC?
Lets just let the dispute resolution board rule, which I am sure they will in the next few hours, and then we can move on to bidding on him as an unrestricted free agent.
