FROM THE CONSTITUTION:
PROMOTING TO PREMIER STATUS
Premier minor leaguers are given 3 additional years. Owners shall clearly indicate on their team thread, which players are designated as premier. A team may designate up to 10 of its minor leaguers as premier minor leaguers. Once designated as a premier minor leaguer, an owner may not demote him to be a regular minor leaguer. A player is no longer considered as a premier minor leaguer when he no longer qualifies as a minor leaguer.
Any regular minor leaguer may be promoted to be a premier and receive a 3 year extension (add 3 years) on his contract provided this is done before the beginning of the season in which he has 3 years remaining on his contract. This shall be posted in the team's transaction thread.
If DURING the season your minor's contract has 3 or fewer years left, it is too late to make him a premier.
If during the season he has a 4 year contract and will NOT reach the threshold of graduation (150AB/50IP) you have until just before the next season starts to make him a premier.
If during the season he has 4 year contract and will reach the threshold (150AB/50IP), the deadline to make him a premier would be October 31 after the current season is completed.
If during the season he has a 5 or more year contract and will NOT reach the threshold (150AB/50IP) you will still have the opportunity to premier him a year later.
If during the season he has 5 or more year contract and will reach the threshold (150AB/50IP), the deadline to make him a premier would be October 31 after the current season is completed.
If it's the OFFSEASON and your minor met the threshold and graduated, he can no longer become a premier as he is no longer a minor.
To put it simply, if it's the offseason and your minor has not graduated and he has 3 or more years remaining, he may become a premier.
The deadline for promoting a player to premier status that will be major league eligible next year is October 31, 2007 @ 11:59:59 PM.
