NBA BTTF IV - LEAGUE ID: 53356 (1 Viewer)

any of these guys could blow a finger off in a fireworks accident this weekend. I'll be safe and wait on my bids.

Agree. You can certainly resubmit your bid if James Harden sprains his beard between now and Sunday night but going through 24 emails is going to be time consuming enough.

If you have to rebid, be sure to include all players and clearly designate that it's a rebid.
 
Nobody has submitted any prioritized bids yet. This probably won't come into play on auction day 1 because everybody still has full budgets and it's unlikely that anybody will be high bidder on more than one player.

But here's the rule again.

You can prioritize up to three bids per day (optional). These bids will be processed first if an owner has multiple successful bids in a day.

Excluded prioritized bids, auctions will be processed in the order of the rankings, e.g. the player ranked #3 will be awarded before player #4. If an owner doesn't have enough funds available due to a player awarded earlier in the day's processing, the bid on the latter player would be invalid.
You could use prioritization if you'd rather have Lebron than Harden and want the bid processed first. Prioritization only affects the order that _your_ bids are processed. Prioritization doesn't matter if you're outbid by another owner.

Keep in mind, prioritization is the second tie breaker for equal bids (after budget remaining), so a prioritized $100 bid on Westbrook would beat an unprioritized $100 bid. Unlikely but could happen :shrug:

So If someone bids $100 on Westbrook -1st priority; $75 on Lebron - 2nd priority

and my sole bid is $100 on Westbrook, he wins? Or is a sole bid considered priority?

Even if your $100 on Westbrook was your 3rd priority it would be a tie and a roll off assuming you didn't already win another player earlier and could therefore no longer afford Westbrook.

That doesn't line up with what Eephus said does it??

***ANNOUNCE***

BIDS BEING ACCEPTED UNTIL 11:59 PM ET THIS SUNDAY

Remember you can prioritize 3 players or just bid in the order on the first 6. Email should be sent to WISRUTHROLL@GMAIL.COM. Password has been changed so that only Eephus and I can access. We won't open any emails until each of us has sent our own email in.

Players up for auction are as follows:

Anthony Davis

Stephen Curry

James Harden

LeBron James

Russell Westbrook

Kevin Durant

It may be easiest for all if you just copy the list and re-order from there.
Include your FBG name in the email

Bid on all players in a single email. Please don't send twelve separate emails.

You can prioritize up to three bids per day. This only affects the order in which your bids are processed. It won't trump a higher bid by somebody else. If you don't prioritize your bids, they'll be handled in Yahoo's order.

Don't wait until 11:59PM EDT to bid. This isn't eBay.

No, that's not the case under the current rules. The priority bid would beat the non-priority one because it's the second tiebreaker. If you're only bidding on one player, there's really no reason not to give that one bid #1 priority.

I made the priority a tiebreaker just to minimize dice rolls. I admit it's kind of lame. If people don't like it, we can remove the priority tiebreaker and user prioritization strictly for sequencing the bid processing for an owner.

 
Oh ####...you slipped that one through. My bad Coyote.

I would just prefer just doing the dice rolls. I think people will be pissed if they lose out just because they didn't re-order.

 
Wouldn't it be easier to send this:

Davis 40

James 32

Westbrook 14

Durant 12

Curry 10

Harden 8

If a team has the available funds and is the high bid, they win. If there are two or more teams that are the high bidder and have available funds then roll them bones.

I can't wrap my head around the prioritization thing.

Prioritization matters if you like a player that is lower ranked more than a higher ranked player and bid on both. Especially in the case where you wouldn't have the funds to get the player you like more (that is ranked lower). That's really it, imo.

Curry is ranked higher than James. I want James more than Curry, so I will bid more on James.

 
Updated rules.

Added Cousins to day 2 player pool

Clarified prioritization

Removed prioritization as second tiebreaker

Format: Daily blind bid auction

Summary: Each day there will be 6 to 12 players up for auction simultaneously. Each team is allotted $100 in auction funds. Teams can bid up to their available funds for any individual player up for auction. Owners can place bids on multiple players during a bidding cycle, e.g. you can bid $100 on every player on day one. See bid prioritization for more info.

Bidding: Send one email per team with all daily bids to an email address to be provided. If I'm going to tally the bids, the deadline will be midnight EDT so I can award the bids before the start of the following day.

You can prioritize up to three bids per day (optional). These bids will be processed first if an owner has multiple successful bids in a day. Bid prioritization only affects the order in which your bids are processed. It won't trump a higher bid by somebody else. If you don't prioritize your bids, player awards will be handled in Yahoo's order

Excluded prioritized bids, auctions will be processed in the order of the rankings, e.g. the player ranked #3 will be awarded before player #4. If an owner doesn't have enough funds available due to a player awarded earlier in the day's processing, the bid on the latter player would be invalid.

In the case of identical top $ bids, the first tiebreaker will be the amount of money remaining in budget at the time the player is processed. More=better. If both bidders have identical funds remaining, we'll go to the dice.

Player pool & rankings: I propose using Yahoo Fantasy rankings to select the players up for bid each day. 14-15 WIS salaries won't include rookies and ESPN #NBARank hasn't been published yet.

Auction schedule: Three rounds worth of players (72) will be auctioned.

Day 1: 6 players (Davis, Curry, Harden, James, Westbrook and Durant)
Day 2: 6 players (Cousins, Paul, Irving, Leonard, Horford and Lillard)
Day 3: 12 players (C. Anthony, Butler, K. Thompson, Wall, Aldridge, Millsap, Ibaka, Love, Griffin, Lowry, George, Vucevic)
Day 4: 12 players (Gobert, Jordan, Dray. Green, Conley, Whiteside, M. Gasol, P. Gasol, B. Lopez, Bledsoe, Oladipo, Jefferson, Holliday)
Day 5: 12 players (Lawson, Nowitzki, Teague, Drummond, Bosh, G. Dragic, Gay, Duncan, Hayward, Noel, T. Harris, Payton)
Day 6: 12 players (Ariza, Matthews, Batum, Knight, Faried, Ellis, Korver, Antetokounmpo, Dan. Green, G. Hill, Favors, Carroll)
Day 7: 12 players (Monroe, Middleton, Howard, Rubio, K. Walker, Randolph, Wade, Bryant, Rose, Parsons, Towns, Chandler)

Roster rules: A team can come out of the auction with between zero and five players. Players awarded to a team that already has five players on the roster will have that bid voided.

Draft order: The draft will resume after the 72 players are auctioned. Draft order will be determined by the amount of funds remaining in a team's auction budget. Tie breaker for draft order will be by dice roll.

Compensation pick mini-draft (aka rule 5a draft). The draft will be halted temporarily after round #5 to allow teams that bought less than three players in the auction rounds to fill out a starting five. This will be a snake draft following the same order above. Every team will enter round #6 will between five and seven players. Teams with seven players after round #5 will give up their #6 and #7 rounders. Teams with six players will give up the #6 rounder. Everybody's rosters will have the same number of players beginning in round #8 (assuming no trades).

ETA: Trade rules

No trades during auction phase. Once the post-auction draft order gets set at pick 4.01), trading is wide open including ones involving players bought during the auction phase, drafted players and upcoming picks. Auction values have no significance once we get to 4.01. The only limitation is you have to have to end up with 18 players (or less if you flake)

Curry is ranked higher than James. I want James more than Curry, so I will bid more on James.
But what if you bid on Curry and win at a cost that prevents you from getting James? Get it?

Its less important on Day 1. But when you're down to $20, you're going to want to put your top guys up front.

Are trades allowed during the auction phase? If so, how would that impact rounds 5a,6,7? I'm assuming it would have to fit in $100 cap at the time it was completed.
