Initial Auction Points

[Commish (SEA)]

-Years may not exceed 4

-Player will be awarded after 48 hours of no bidding. This may be shortened pending auction speed.

-There are minimum bidding increments based on preceding bid as follows:

0.0-10 = .10
10.1-20 = .50
20.1+ = 1.00

-Once Auction is Completed, Free Agents will not reopen until Mid-May

[Commish (SEA)]

-Just to make it absolutely clear, the Highest bid wins the player. Years will not be factored into it in any way

-Minor Leaguers are not eligible for Auction Nomination

-Do not retract bids at all. Editing or deleting a bid will result in a $2.00 penalty for the season.

-Make sure your bids include a length in years. Not having length along with your bid will void it.

how should we post these bids?

it seems like some people are posting the total value of the bid, not the per year value. maybe having a uniform posting method would be a good idea.

like 4 years @ 20M.

Ok so let's just say you have to write per year or total at the end of the bid, im sure we can all figure out that if 4 years 20 mill total would be 5 mill per

Let's just wait for the commish to rule on this.

I have sent the commish a message about the confusion with the bidding. I would think it would be the total amount for the amount of years (ex: 4 yrs at 20M). But we will see what the commish says.

Also commish, if Team A bids 4 yrs at 15M and Team B bids 3 yrs at 20M. Does Team A or Team B win the bid?

[Commish (SEA)]

A bid of

30 for 3 years is

30 for year 1, 30 for year 2, and 30 for year 3.

Years do not factor into who wins a player.

If team A places a bid at 30 for 100 years and Team B places a bid at 35 for 1 year, Team B wins.
