BF Football Auction League-Got Our 10-Go Time.

[razzzorsharp]

For a while now I have wanted to do an auction league and I have had some interest from other members as well on this board so I though I would throw it out there and see how much interest there is.

 

Here is the plan...

Every team (10) starts out with a certain amount of money. Each day, ten randomly (we will figure this out) players will be put up via forums lie this in the morning. We would have 8 hours to bid on them, open bidding, and at 4 the bidding would stop with the high bidder getting the player for that price. Then the next day we would do it ll over again. I just wanted to check if there is any interest in a money league like this before I finalize any plans. Of course, people would have to take a leap of faith that I wouldn't just take the money but I assure you that I am an honest guy.

I would love to do that. I have been trying to get in a league like that for some time now. I always hear friends do it and I think I would like it.

[sbrylski]

I was considering trying to start something like this myself. I was planning on making it a contract league with a rookie draft and auction free agency, but that can get pretty complicated.

 

I'd definately be interested in this league. I do have a concern with your silent auction draft though. A person who has computer access all day could just wait until 3:55 before posting their bid and get in over the top, while someone without access would be at a disadvantage. What about something where say 5 guys at each position are put on the auction block, and aren't sold until 24 hours after the last bid. Everyone has a chance to get back in on the bidding, and nobody can grab him just before the time limit. After one player is purchased, another goes on sale. Just a thought.

[Giraldo8]

interested as well. i agree with sam that his way of thinking would be best.

[Houlie24x]

I would be interested as well.

[sbrylski]

Well, that's 5. Can we get 5 more?

[bball123h2]

Oh heck. My wallet says no, but my heart says yes. I'm in.

[gypcasino]

I'm in if there's room.

[whynotthebrewers]

When would we get started? I think this would need to begin pretty soon. Just over a month to go.

[razzzorsharp]

Looking for a couple more. I also agree with the poster that said the bidding might be iffy. I would prefer a blind bidding structure where everyone throws out a number at some point during the day, not knowing what everyone else is bidding, highest bidder takes it. Also, any suggestions would be great as I have never done this before.

[radman12484]

count me in.

[sbrylski]

Yeah, blind bidding would work too, but then it'd be nice to diversify the players "on the block", and I wouldn't want to miss out say on Alexander because I was hoping to get LT.

Ok got some details ironed out. I have the site ready to go for Monday, email me for a link if still interested. Ideally I would like 12, but 10 will suffice. Also, I have to ask that you pay ASAP so the whole league doesnt get ripped off (happened in the past). Money breakdown for winners can be discussed as soon as we know if we have 10 or 12.

I suggest Veto power be majority of league veto

[bball123h2]

Could we end the auctions a bit later? I am not home usually from 9 am - 4 pm, so the current times would basically mean I cannot be in the league...

[afeter]

i am in, razzor i will call you tonight for more details.

[chuckiehacks]

If you need one more, let me know and I'll fill the slot.

[Giraldo8]

i also agree about later end times...maybe 7?

[razzzorsharp]

I am all for changing those above mentioned things. Seven would work for me as well. I can also change the veto to the managers voting.

[Baldkin]

I suck at counting, but if you need another... I would be in.

[razzzorsharp]

So far I have gotten 5 emails from people and with myself that would be 6. I will be replying to them shortly about where we are drafting and whatnot. I suppose the next 6 people, or 4 if we can only get 10, will get an invite. Again, the email is above in one of my other posts.

[razzzorsharp]

Still got some openings, you gotta email me for the site that we are using.

[razzzorsharp]

Those of you who emailed me and I emailed back, please make sure to do a couple things...

 

1) Check into the forums just to show you can get in.

 

2) Sign up for the yahoo league.

 

This does start Monday at 9:00 am, so hopefully we can get everyone in there and working. Right now I have Myself, casellsuglies, afeter, whynotthebrewers, giraldo8, getpaddled, and gypcasino all in. Those of you who are interested and posted that you want to be in, please email me at the address....
