Who should get this team and for how much?

Shouldn't it be Team 2 for $5?

looks like Team 2 bid $1 as first bid, so Team 1 wins with $3

MFL uses contingent bidding. Each player below the first means, "if I don't get the above player, I wish to bid this amount for this player".

Keeping my explanation simple, the system looks at everyone's first bid, awards that player, then, for the owners who did not win their first choice, considers their next highest desired player. The Team 1 owner bidding $3 for Atl DT is awarded him because for the bids of $4+ to even trigger, team 2 has to have lost their first request. Therefore, by the time those bids trigger, the player is already gone.

besides, team 2 should lose out for being a schmuck.

I would think that Team B gets the player for $5. I guess it depends if your league has conditional blind bidding on or off.

+1"Ebay bidding" doesn't work for MFL blind-bids. Once the player is won for $3 dollars by team 1, and lost for the $1 bid by team 2, the rest of team 2's bids on that player are irrelevant. He's no longer available.

i believe this is the correct answer.if you have "conditional blind bidding" checked yes, then team 1 would have won the player.if you had it checked no, team 2 would have got the player.conditional bidding you have to submit players in rounds where non conditional is just looking at the highest amount of money spent.

conditional blind bidding is not incremental auction bidding, its if you lose the bid for player A, you will bid immediately in the same round on player B. this works well if you need a RB and a defense. You can use conditional bidding Round 1 to go through all your RB choices, and conditional bidding Round 2 to go through all your defense choices
