OFFICIAL AUCTION RULES
(these replace ANYTHING in the rules regarding Auctions)
|
1. Enter your lot number, bid, and player name (if needed) based on the available listings.
2. When the auction is processed if a player name on your roster matches the player name of the lot being processed, your bid will be voided with the reason: "TEAM ALREADY HAS SAME PLAYER NAME () ON ROSTER!".
3. A player name may not be blank (unless you are bidding on TP/CP). If you are bidding on a player and the name is blank, your bid will be voided with the reason: "AUCTION PLAYER NAME IS BLANK!".
3. If your team already has 25 players when the auction is processing a player in the auction, your bid will be voided with the reason: : "TEAM ALREADY HAS 25 OR MORE PLAYERS!".
4. If your team bank has less money than your bid, your revised bid is lowered to match your bank total.
5. Teams may only bid once per lot. If your team tries to bid more than one time on a lot, your bid will be voided with the reason: "TEAM BID MULTIPLE TIMES ON SAME LOT!".
6. Teams may only have 5 multi-position players (MPP). If they try to bid on an MPP and they already have 5 (or more) their bid will be voided with the reason: "TEAM ALREADY HAS 5 OR MORE MULTI-POSITION PLAYERS!".
7. It will now be ACCEPTABLE to use the same player name when bidding on different lots. With the rules listed above, if you do get a player added to your roster then any player with the same listed name in the auction list will be voided with the reason: "TEAM ALREADY HAS SAME PLAYER NAME () ON ROSTER!".
8. Auction rules are as follows: 1) The team with the highest revised bid wins the lot at a cost of 1k more than the next highest bid. 2)If only one team bids then that team gets the lot for 1k. 3) Ties will be broken in the following manner: Highest at Number (so 2 gets the player if compared to div 1 -- note commissioners make your league abb for a division numeric only for this) then its lowest league points; if still tied lowest morale/rating. If the teams are still tied then no one gets the player. The program will attempt to break a tie if 2 or 3 teams are tied. If 4 or more are tied then no one gets the player.
9. The order of the auction is done based on LOT. Lot 1 is processed first, a winner assigned, their bank account reduced, etc. Then its on to lot 2.

FAQ
Question 1:
If a person bids an amount in excess of what they have is the bid reduced to their remaining bank balance or is it a void bid and cancelled.
Answer 1:
Either at the beginning or "in the middle" of the auction, a team's maximum bid cannot be greater than their current bank balance. So if a team bids 500k but they only have 450k in the bank then their max bid is reduced to 450k.
Question 2:
If one has the winning bid the amount paid will be reduced to 1K more than the second placed bid.What if the second placed bidder does not have enough money for their bid,is it reduced to their cash balance or ignored and the 3rd placed bid used.
Answer 2:
At the start of determining the winner of each lot each team's max bid is reduced to their bank total IF their max bid is higher than their bank account. So in this example yes the bids would be lowered (if needed) to the bank total.
Question 3:
What if one bids an amount that is more than the cash one has BUT the manager does have more cash than the actual amount needed to buy the player ie I bid 300,I have 200 cash in the bank and the second placed bid is 100.Would I get the player for 101K or would my bid be disqualified as I did not have enough money to make it in the first place.
Answer 3:
At the start of each lot all max bids would be reduced to no more than the bank account so your max bid in this scenario would be 200 and you would get the player for 101k.
