Keeper Lge Official Bidding

KJ Duke · Post by **KJ Duke** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:07 am

Below is the official list of bidders, I would ask that anyone else on the boards please refrain from throwing out phony bids in this thread. However, buyer beware for the participants.

When placing a bid, please use this format:

slot 1 - $2

nomination order:

1 Scorpion

Liquidhippo

RedRyder

2 Quahogs

bmike

stargells stars

3 George Kleemann

KJ Duke

Coyotes

4 Bombers

blunose

fireballs

5 roundTrippers

Team Herron

Heels

Bids must be in whole dollars. Bidding will begin as soon as I post the first day's nominations. Deadline for the first group of slots will be tomorrow, Wednesday, 6pm pacific time, then every day thereafter for the successive four groups.

Rules:

1) Players will nominate draft slots of their choice.

2) Bidding will commence ebay-style simulataneously on these 3 slots over the message board. You'll be bidding with your season's FAAB budget of $1,000. Any amount you pay for a draft slot will reduce your available FAAB for the remainder of the season, so bid wisely.

3) Each bid cycle will end at 6pm pacific/9pm eastern of the following day, unless there is active late bidding. In such a case, bidding for that slot must be silent for 10 minutes (per the message board time stamp) before the bidding on that slot is final; this ensures anyone with a slow connection doesn't lose just because of their connection. Once bidding ends for one bid cycle, the next three players for nomination will have 2 hours to get their nominations in for the next day's cycle - if you don't nominate we default to the next highest available slot with a $0 bid. (yes, you can bid zero).

4) You may bid on multiple slots, but if you win more than one you will be awarded only your highest bid. The other slot will be awarded to the next highest bidder. Once you have officially "won" a slot, you cannot bid again. If you win a slot before your turn to nominate comes up, your nomination will default to the highest remaining slot.

5) DO NOT edit your message once posted. If you made a typo error, IMMEDIATELY re-post the correct bid after that --- do not edit any post in the bidding thread.

And remember, the minor lge draft order will be reverse of the major lge draft order, so factor that into your bidding if you want a high minor lge pick.

Mike, can you get to the baseball factory and give us some information on this year's baseball? Are they going to produce a higher percentage of homeruns? Maybe the stitching isn't as tight as past years causing them to have drag when they are hit. Any information would be helpful..if you want to PM me so Gekko doesn't have access to this information, feel free to do so!! CC
