@Timinator, priority and mail that was sent earlier

You play 5 games for each :)

Out of curiosity: What happens if there is a tie in bids? :P

The priority of the player for the tied managers is used to pick a winner. If the priority is the same as well, it is decided by a coin flip(as was the case with Master Ryiro).

At considerable risk, (anonymously) you could potentially drive up the price of other players without even necessarily wanting them by knowing other teams with money still in the bank might be willing to pay a fortune over base price and overspend.

Although this is a possibility, bidding more than what you can afford for a player is a recipe for disaster. A player could be valued highly by another manager and if you win that bidding war, you have a overpriced player on your hands. It is a dangerous game to play ;) Any bid which exceeds a manager's financial capability is ignored. Master Turtle cannot bid more than 97 Nohhams for any player going forward.

Any thoughts on whether new players could/should still be thrown into the Round 7 Auction? As potential wildcards? Assuming there was more latent interest to join than just myself haha.

Players can still sign up for games. They will only be eligible for the Group B auction(tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday)

@Beren,buns
Let's test the template tonight with the different distribution modes and finalize on what is best.

9       Gustave II                       21               10

At first glance, seem to be the clear winners of round 1. The club had specific targets in mind. It went hard and got what it wanted. It has filled up 40 of the 55 game slots. I would expect all four of these players to play their full quota of games as well. I predict a cautious approach from this club for the rest of the auction. They have secured the tier 1,2,4 players in this group. Well done!

The club has employed a different different approach to the round with very specific targets in mind. It has secured some of the lesser known players at very low prices and filled up 20 of the 55 slots. I know Master Atom ◆Elite◆ and steve1513 get along great, so I would expect to see a team with them in it! The club also has a lot of money left, to fill up it's remaining slots, so I'm very curious to see how it fares in the coming rounds.

The club has pursued a dependable player with a very focused bidding strategy. It has filled up 10 of the 55 slots which gives it a lot of room to operate in future rounds. Will be interesting to see if the manager pursues only known players, or goes after some of the upcoming talent in the pool.

Three clubs have not signed any player in the first round. Although it seems like they are the clear losers of this round, a deeper look reveals interesting trends. The final price of a player is always 0 or 1 greater than the second highest bid. So everyone is congratulating the clubs which have acquired players, but it just means they bid high amounts. Purple Illusions posted the % increase from base price for every player, and there was a clear plan with the second highest bids. They've done their Math, and it seems like they know what they're doing. I wouldn't discount these clubs too soon.

Question is, how high will MoD actually sell for 😂

387 million billion nohhams

I'm confused - what is Group B? They don't appear to have participated in round 1...

We planned on having 6 clubs originally. Due to the overwhelming number of sign-ups, we've decided to create another division called Group B. The managers for Group B are also listed in the sheet. The auction for Group B begins once the auction for Group A ends. All players left in the pool(after auction for Group A) + late sign ups will be available to the Group B clubs.

There will also be a promotion/relegation system where the bottom clubs in Group A swap their status with the top clubs in B. The exact number of relegations will be decided in a week.

The results for Round 2 are as follows:

Club                       Player                          Price             Game Count

Dont buy me I am terrible!

Liar

Solid business by Spuds. Completing 20 Slots with 2 great players. Statistically Spuds seems the clear winner.MoD guaranteed costliest player of the season.Among Robot Unicorns and Random Players one did a good job and the other did a questionable one. WTF still have a big Purse to spend, i guess saving to steal good players in the later Rounds of the Auction.

Just read this post. It sounds interesting but I assume I am too late to join up.
if not I would like to be drafted.

Edited for number of games. 5 games.

Edited 2/27/2016 20:33:52

To be honest I think of rather have Summer at 76 than mod at 98. Any grades of how people have done in the auction are a bit meaningless until all players have been bought though.

Thank you beren :D
