I think he meant that you said you would push it back to 9 PM ET, and then you changed it from 9 PM to 8 PM.

Hey I sent in my :10bux: and I can make the 9 ET draft time. Might have to duck into a starbucks or something for wifi but I've drafted from weirder places before.

Awesome I got it. That makes most of the people so far have sent in. And yeah I'm running home from work to make the draft, I hope I can snag Taco Bell on the way.

I am proud of all these Cuban-themed names. Also Che Stadium took me a second and is actually witty as gently caress.

Let me know if anyone needs something photoshopped.

So you can add a player for $0 if no one else bids on him? I figured you had to big at least $1.

You originally had to but I changed it a while back. Apparently if you run out of money you can't add anyone the rest of the season which could be disastrous.

I thought that if you ran out of money you could still add guys, you were just always going to lose a FA claim if someone else bid anything. That isn't the case. It works that way if you activate the $0 bidding rule.

Well that kind of sucks. I also bid $1 on Cecil but didn't get him. Any idea how the ESPN software prioritizes the FAAB bids when it's a tie in the offseason?

Settings say inverse standings each week, but we are all tied. Is it last year's final standings inverted?

So we only have $100 for the entire season? Guess I should have read the rules closer >.>

Yes, but once we run out of FAAB you can continue to make $0 bids as pickups. Just make sure to chain a bunch of them conditionally so you are sure to get someone.

You can see the current order in the My Team tab, don't know what it's based on though.

I believe it is based upon draft order. I have third because I drafted seventh.

Yeah I think like 2 weeks in it reverts based upon standings? Not sure when but it's pretty soon, so last place team will always get the preference in case of a tie.

Is that what we want? I hate that in football, since it feels like it rewards failure. I dunno what the alternative is here though.

Ties are fairly rare the free agent auction system; I think they only happened a couple times last season and it was because both guys bid the bare minimum on closers. My strategy has always been if I think someone else is going to bid on a guy then I put an odd numerical amount like 3 or 6 dollars.

Good players getting dropped or a really prized prospect being called up is when bidding gets crazy. Someone bid 44 on Hanley Ramirez when he got waived, I think George Springer being called up made people put in like 20-30.

Just bid a dollar more than what you were originally going to! Then you have nobody to blame but yourself.

I don't even know whose team is whose, but playing unmanaged teams and SSS can be the only explanation as to how I'm 2-0. I'm in the bottom half of every category but SB and AVG.
