NFL Auction Draft Info

[Commissioner]

Please read Section 8 (VIII) of the CBA for details on the draft process.

We do not have a nomination order. Everyone can post their nominations and then start bidding on nominated players.

***Each manager will nominate two players and only managers who have a player nominated for auction can place bids. Nominating a player means the manager who nominates the player is placing the initial bid on that player for the minimum $1. Initial bids can be more than $1 if the nominating manager chooses to do so. If no bid is specified then it is assumed the opening bid is $1. If there are no other bids then that manager wins the nominated player for the initial bid amount.

Please see the "How to Nominate a Player" post for instructions.

***A player is considered purchased after a period of 12 hours has passed without a new bid. Once a player is purchased the manager who nominated that player will immediately start a new thread with a new player nomination. This way we always have the maximum amount of allowed auctions going.

***All bid increments must be whole dollar amounts ($1, $5, $6, etc). So this really should go without saying but the minimum bid increment then would be $1 (the lowest whole number). Also, the bid increases can be any whole dollar amount and do not have to be $1 increases (meaning you can increase the bid from $1 to $5 without having to go $1 at a time). However, all bids must be an increase over the previous bid. There are no matching bids for obvious reasons.

***In the event that a manager does not nominate a new player after a period of 72 hours from his previously nominated player being sold then that manager could forfeit their right to nominate any additional players essentially ending their auction. The Commissioner will try to remind each manager via email when their player has sold and it's time to nominate a new one. Attempts to slow down or delay nominations to gain any sort of edge will not be tolerated.

***To start the auctions each manager may nominate TWO players (in different posts obviously - one for each).

***At no point in the draft can a manager overbid past their remaining pool money. All bids across the board should never be more than how much money you have remaining. So make sure you are keeping track or your roster limit and salary cap space at all times!

Sorry I copy/pasted this from one of my other leagues and they are currently at an 8 hour limit (because they are late in the draft). The above originally said 8 hour time limit, but I changed it to 12 this morning (I meant to do it last night, but it was late and I was dead lol). I always do 12 starting out so people get the hang of it.

It also originally said everyone has 1 nomination each, but I'm upping that to two for this league because we are on a little tighter window.

Please ask if you have questions.
