# Remove yourself from the free-agent pool

`DELETE /tournaments/{identifier}/free-agency/me`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://teambattles.gg/api/v1`
- URL: `https://teambattles.gg/api/v1/tournaments/{identifier}/free-agency/me`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Withdraws the API key owner from a tournament's free-agent pool. Not being in the pool at all answers 400 error_invalid_input.

ORDERING MATTERS AFTER A PICKUP. Once a team's offer has been accepted your pool row is PICKED_UP and you hold a roster entry on that team, and this endpoint refuses with 400 error_invalid_input until you are off that roster. Ask the team to drop you (or the organizer to remove the team) first; when a participant leaves the tournament its picked-up agents are released automatically.

Leaving expires every PENDING pickup offer addressed to you in this tournament, and expired offers are never revived - if you rejoin the pool later, captains must offer again. Re-read GET /tournaments/{identifier}/me rather than reusing a cached offer list.

Requires the tournaments actor free_agency capability.

## Path parameters

- `identifier` string, required: Tournament slug.

## Response `200`

You are out of the pool.

- TournamentWriteAck: Acknowledgement returned by the tournament write endpoints whose backing operation has nothing to return - the organizer writes (endpoints 22-34), the team roster writes (40, 41), and the competitor self actions that neither mint nor resolve a row (38, 39, 44, 45, 47). Endpoints that mint a row answer with that row's id instead, and the two respond endpoints (42, 46) answer with the decision they recorded.
  - `success` true, required: Always true; failures are error responses.
  - `timestamp` string, required: Response generation time (ISO 8601).

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request (invalid body, cursor, limit, or date).
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key.
- `403`: API key lacks the required permission.
- `404`: Resource not found.
- `429`: Rate limited.
- `500`: Internal server error.

## Changes

- **2026-07-23** `33b122ff59d0`: 1 info
  - endpoint added
