606v2 IPL Auction - STARTS MONDAY 29TH AUGUST - SHUT

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the upcoming Auction for the coming season.

15 players each day will be put up for auction. These will be a mixture of the top, middle and lower brackets. If you wish to bid for one of the players available for that day, you have until 9pm UK time on that evening to submit your bids.

The highest bidder at 9pm will be the winner.

Note: No editing of posts is allowed. Once you have made a bid that is your bid, and you have to write another post if you want to place an improved bid. I'm sure you will all understand that this is to stop people editing their bids to stay in the lead, so to speak. Any edited posts will be disregarded and will not count.

More players to be added. Please comment on any other players you would like me to add to the auction.

That is fine.

Next question:

If a player is 25 years old, that counts as the 'under 25' category, yes? Similar to U21's football, 21 year olds are allowed to play.

whats fine??

Gregers explanation of the auction costs.

should be lol its up to him. its his thing lol

CF your really not getting this, are you. He asked if his explanation made sense, I said it was fine.

It doesn't matter 'who's thing' it is, in order for it to work it needs all the participants to agree to the rules and understand them. The rules and format are a joint thing, they're not solely up to Gregers. If we all agree and all make comments then it will be a much smoother running process.

i no mate i wasnt having a go, i was purely pointing something out, no need to get so defensive

No I know you wasn't, so sorry if it sounded like I meant that, I'm just saying if we have any issue with rules at all we need to bring it up, iron them out now before it gets up and running.

Anyone else think there should be 3 Exchanges, 3 Transfers and 3 releases a day? I've already made 4 and barely noticed. 3 would allow people to make a few Transfers while it still being tactical.

ok fair enough, btw mate a heads up, gregers knows im not around at the weekend, so gonna pm my deals to him, friday night or sat morning quickly, so my deals get confirmed

i have 2 deals done, and a 3rd and 4th nearly confirmed

That's cool, at least it means you won't miss out.

Fists did you see my post about Transfers?

yh thats what i thought mate

lol i hope the auction is open early monday morning, cos im not around atfernoon lol, oddly i have cricket, sat,sun and monday.

2 is fair liam. After the exchanges open it won't be a problem.

And yes Fists. Under 25 includes 25 year olds.

Auction opens Monday morning, I'll try and be around earlyish to mediate prices etc. Fists do you mind making sure mine are fine?

Ok Gregers. Would like to know if anyone else would prefer 3 though.

i would

Just that there's been plenty of negotiating and this is only it's first full day.

We'll see how it goes for the first few days, I'm happy to change it later. As with many parts of the league its a learning curve for all of us on what will work and what won't.

I'd stick with 2, it keeps it from being too silly, and makes it more tactical, too.

3 isn't making it too silly though just gives people more a chance to change there squads. Still makes it tactical.

The administration of it all is easier if it is just 2. 2 is hardly detrimental, as you only have to wait 1 day until you do your next 2.

fists, its ok to negotiate it, 3 is still tactical its not silly, like gregers said its a learning curve and see how it goes

sajid mahmood?

Usman Khawajla

I have just spoken to Fists.I have told him that we shall do the bidding on the chat box and later on confirm it here and on the Player Confirmation Page.

I hope its OK with everyone.

The only worry with doing it on the chatbox is that we will have no record of who bid the most and how much they bid etc. Any ways round this?

After bidding on chat box the winning bid must be placed here and made 'formal'. I will then okay them.

Does that sort that problem out?

That depends on everyone keeping track of the winning bid then.

In that case, I'd suggest you listing a player, then we bid until that player is sold, then listing another, and working our way through the list, if you know what I mean, rather than having a free for all where every player is just getting bid on at the same time, as we will lose track then.

That's a good idea. Not every player needs to be sold but I'll go through them on Monday.

Yeah if a player has no bids after 30 secs just move on to the next one etc.

30 secs is way too less.I say 2 minutes.

Some of us have to work mate, we cannot sit there for 2 hours doing an auction. It needs to be done in half hour at the very most.

Half an hour only?
If thats the case then we might as well do it on this thread in the originally decided manner.

How long did you expect it to go on for? We can't allow a light-hearted game to dominate a working day. This auction has got to be quick and easy, unless we decided to do it at the weekend or at say 6pm one evening. If it is within working hours then it can be 30mins at the most, otherwise a lot of us aren't going to be able to take part properly.

Bidding on the chat box, what?!

Fists I can run the Auction I don't work.

I'm not talking about running it, I'm talking about those that want to bid.

I work and can't afford to spend any set amount of time doing an auction. To be honest, it'd be better if it was out of working hours.

That is true, how about 6 till 8?

im not around how about saturday morning from 9-11

Again, too long, we can't allow a pretend cricket auction to take over most of one of our evenings haha.

I wish there was an easier way to do it.

OK Fists lets do it on the chat box for one hour at least.Lets do it at 10 O' clock plz.
Plz mate.

Hoe about middle and low players through the week on this thread?

Then an hour auction on Monday and/or Tuesday evening for the high bracket players?

I can do an auction on Monday between 5.45 and 6.45, but that is all I can do. That sound ok?

I agree, an auction on the Chat Box for the high bracket players.

Isn't Gregers doing the Auction?

Mate I am in India atm.If it is out of working hours then I wont be able to take part.
Here is my suggestion

Select a group of players who will be auctioned on that particular day.They will not go on auction one by one.You can bid for whoever you want.A coach who is interested in a particular player can bid for that player any time during the day on this thread.At the end of the day the highest bidder will get that player.
Lets not do it on the chatbox.

Guys..just thought...we are worrying over nothing.

It is bank holiday on Monday, therefore we won't be at work. 9am - 11am auction Monday morning?

We should do the Lower Bracket Monday, Middle Bracket Tuesday and Higher Bracket Wednesday makes things simpler and won't make the thread crazy.

Mate Plz look at my above suggestion.Its the best option.
