TheRX (unsanctioned) Sweet 16 Auction Thread

[HarryCaray]

Alright it's time for another auction. Similar rules to how we did for the NFL playoffs this year.

• 65% to winner, 35% to 2nd
• Bidding ends at 5pm Eastern time on March 25th
• In the last hour of bidding, only one bid per post; up until then you can submit multiple bids at once
• After winning the bid you have 24 hours to submit payment. Otherwise it will default to the previous high bidder.
• Ppal only for payments and payouts. I will hold and disburse.

If the consensus is to change any of the rules (especially the payout structure), we can look at that.

Please submit your bids by COPYING and PASTING the most recent bid reset.

• Unbold everything
• Change the amount next to the team you are bidding up
• Change the name to your posting handle
• Make the one(s) you just changed bold.

We had a lot of trouble following these instructions last time so please help me out by doing this.

Chew it shdw.

you also bid $0.54 higher....it is common knowledge that minimum increase in auction format here is $1. you start increasing by pennies you start a fucked up precedent that will really hurt the record-keeers

 

[shdw01]

also, 65/35 is pretty weak....i suggest anywhere from 80/20 to 70/30
