Sounds like there is an opening afterall. If so, I'm in.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

I would like to make a suggestion, I know we are planning on doing live bidding, but i'm wondering if there is a way to do bidding through posts, and set a final call date.

Example. I bid the following amount of points, for the following teams listed in order by lowest number team.



67--------Barry Bonzack---15
68--------Barry Bonzack---14
71--------Barry Bonzack---14
111-------Barry Bonzack---14
217-------Barry Bonzack---15
1114------Barry Bonzack---14
1625------Barry Bonzack---14

If someone wants them more than I do, they replace their name with mine and the new high bid, and add any other bids in numeric order.

Rules:
You can not bid for more than 7 teams at one time.
You can not bid for more than 100 points at one time.
No decimal points - bid in whole numbers only


This is not kicking off this bidding system, I just wanted to discuss the option. If the point of this league was to involve real-time bidding in a chat room format, then this system will not work. If the goal of the league is to innovate a new way to select teams for FF, then its worth discussion.

Just to let the league know, my CD username has been changed to Ericgehrken.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

Will we still be drafting tommorrow even though the final team list hasn't been posted?

I would prefer we wait until we get the final team list. I think if the draft is before, the results may be determined by who has insider information or who is faster to snatch up the new team, instead of actually knowing the teams.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

I agree, I would like to postpone the draft until next tuesday (if the list is posted soon). I apologize for the inconveniences this may cause. Either PM me or respond here if that is ok.

@Barry I would like this to be a live draft, to have a more social aspect to this league.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

I'm fine with waiting until next week.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

I'm easy, next week is fine.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

As long as it's not Wednesday or Thursday (RPI Orientation) I'm good.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

Unfortunately, due to a change in travel plans, I will be unable to participate in the draft this week. My spot is up for grabs

I apologize for the last-minute notice.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

Can I call dibs?

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

Sure, you can have it

I wish I didn't tell Akash all my favorite picks now ._.

Anyway, correction to the PM: My AIM is actually wikichrisisme .

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

I have one suggestion and one question.

For the suggestion: I've done a couple of auction fantasy football leagues and for those once a person nominates a player/team, an open auction is began. Here anyone can bid at anytime and it ends when no one wants to bid, instead of going in order having each person bid or pass. I fear that by going in order, the draft may take hours and may be overly confusing ("Am I next? I thought I was after...?"). Just a suggestion, I've never done it this way, so it may be easier.

For the question: If we keep it the bidding/passing in order, can you pass one 'round' and then bid the next time around?

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

Unfortunately, I'll have to drop for tonight for something important. Sorry.

Re: [FF]: IRI Auction League
 

Does that mean we need a new person or you are going to take from what is left over?
