Let's say, hypothetically, a coaching position comes open on a server where I don't currently have a team.

I'm given a date and time marking the earliest I can try to reserve a team, provided I'm first in line.

Between the time teams turn over and retiring coaches are removed from the rosters and the time new apps are accepted, do coaches on the server in question have priority call on jobs opening up?  Or are they running on the same schedule as coaches wanting to join the server for the first time?

I believe if the team is owned by SimAI, you can reserve the team at any point and its yours. A current coach in that world cannot also apply for that job and take it from you.

That wasn't exactly my question.  I'm given a date and time when jobs can be reserved in this other world.  I don't currently have a team there.  That date/time is several days after retiring coaches are cleared from the roster.  During that interim, can coaches in that same world bid on the team?

A coach that reserves a team in a world they are not currently in goes last in the picking order. That is why they are free to choose any available team because all other coaches have had their chance at those teams already.

Thanks, Weena!
