The actual auctions are quite simple, really. You see a player on a team you like, you wait for the day his team goes up for auction, and you send a PM to the Division Commissioner including your team name, the player you're bidding for, and the amount you're bidding in the title and the PM both.
Looks like my fellow commissioners don't know how to read their own rules.
Five of the commishes have gotten together and discussed making a more fair way for bids on the best players. We've come to a solution we all really like: the three best/most popular (determined by Commish) players from every team will have their own thread (so 6 threads) where you can bid for an extra half hour after 10PM EST. We feel this will make it more fair and also won't be hard on time.
Rules
- same as regular but no pms, make a post in the thread with team, player, offer
- no talkback in the threads, going to be cluttered enough
- starts at 10:01 EST, ends at 10:30 EST
- bidding will start at whatever the highest pm bids where for the 3 players
Someone slipped in last-second higher bids on Dubinsky and Tanguay. Can't wait to see who waited until the last minute. There was no bidding war. My bid stood all day and then WHAMMO! a last second riser. (I sure hope it wasn't a commissioner - insider information is illegal on stock markets because it is unfair). Shouldn't there be a: commissioners should not make bids in the last fifteen minutes after their final update to negate the obvious positional advantage they have?

It's an hour for commishes actually. They can't bid on their own players within an hour of 10, unless they prove they were interested in the player and were bidding on the player before an hour before 10.
