There will be numerous players in the bidding process at all times, until every team is filled with players. The bidding on a player ends when 24 hours has passed since the last bid on him.
• No team may make a bid for a player it cannot afford. For example, a team with $3M left and two openings on its roster is limited to a maximum bid of $2M for one player.
• Any person is eligible to be drafted.
Pretty straight forward. We just make a thread (this forum seems like it'd be fine for it) and go at it. We need to auction 300 players (and draft 120 minor leaguers in a separate draft) by April 4th. If we stuck to players getting nominated every other day it would take 50 days, but we can nominate more towards the end to make it fit in time.
Did I miss anything?
Thank you for doing this.
Sounds great except that if we do the bidding publicly, we need anti-sniping rules. So any bid made in the final 30 minutes of the auction will extend the auction another 30 minutes.
And if you won't be around for a night, I have no issues assigning someone outside of the league to be your proxy.
