Surprised I won 4 games with this shitty draft


I wasn't. I expected it with that draft.

BTW.. Can we push our draft time back to 8? I'm coaching 3rd/4th grade football until 7:30 or so MWF..

Looking back on last year's numbers I was shocked there was no prices above $65. I anticipate all 4 of the top backs to go above that

Im going to spend $120 on 3 players right off the bat.


Last year I spent $132 in the first 21 picks. Try and beat that.

I'm guessing the bids aren't blind?

No..

Someone nominates a player for $X and bidding continues until a timer runs down without bids, and whoever is the high bid at that point gets the player. Every time a bid is entered, the countdown timer is reset.

I have my handy rtsports auction paralyzer ready for 2014.

P Manning for $18 here I come!

The site cuts off bidding in the middle of the timer several times each auction. Several owners always get a bargain out of that.

In my case with Manning last year, everyone was waiting on someone else to bump the bid. When the timer was down to one, people frantically tried to bid and the site didn't take it.

IOW: don't wait until the last second to bump a bid.

How much time do we get between bids? 5 seconds?

It resets to 10 secs after a bid is entered.

Why do you think the prices will be so much higher this year?

Still say that wasn't 10 seconds.

Then don't wait nine seconds. If the price is too low, then bid right away.

Manning was a glitch for sure. No one cared enough because we didn't know he would throw 55 tds

3rd..

Won my division and had highest points. Lost in the semis but won the 3rd place game.

Manning only went for $32 in the other division so it isn't like I saved $30 on him.
