Every day from August 7 to September 7, one team will be posted for bidding per day.
Anyone can participate as long as they follow the rules below.



Duration
The auction duration for each team will last 24 hours as of the original posting of the auction thread. (an auction that starts at 10:00 pm ends at 9:59 pm the following day)
In addition, if a bid is placed in the final 30 minutes of the auction, the auction will be extended 30 minutes until there is no bid for a solid 30 minutes. This helps prevent auction sniping.

Payouts
Payouts are as follows:
• SB Winner: 65% pot
• SB Loser: 25% pot
• #1 Overall Pick: 10% pot (irrelevant of traded picks)

Minimum Bids
Minimum bids vary as follows:
• If the previous bid is 299 or less: minimum bid is 25 fg
• If the previous bid is 300 to 899: minimum bid is 50 fg
• If the previous bid is 900 or more: minimum bid is 100 fg
All bids below the minimum amount will be ignored.

Bidding
All bids must be posted in-thread. You cannot retract a bid.
You cannot bid an amount of fg greater than the amount you currently possess, nor can you place bets elsewhere with fg you are bidding. This is overbidding. All overbids will be ignored, and you will be banned from participating in all future auctions.
Edited posts will be ignored until the final 30 minutes of the auction.
If you edit a post in the final 30 mins of the auction or during overtime, then your post will be ignored, and you will be banned from participating in all future auctions.

Winning
Whoever has the highest bid at the end of the auction wins the team.
Once you win an auction, you have 24 hours to send your fg to Mangina. Otherwise, the team will be sold to the next-highest bid or re-auctioned if necessary. If you do not pay for a team that you win, then you will be banned from participating in all future auctions.
You may bid on and win as many teams as you like, but you cannot own more than 3 teams. (you can donate teams to other people at any time)
Sold teams and prices can be found in this thread.
If you give/sell a team to someone else, please confirm (cd) the transaction in this thread or in the team's auction thread.
If you have any questions about anything, ask.

I think people are forgetting that your level of fandom correlates directly to how much you bid on your team. More people are just accepting that they're crappy fans.

I remember refusing to outbid tj @ 10k for the giants in 2013. Xnozx gave me so much shit.

God damn, I won 50k that first year wtf lol

Can't wait to win this years 15k pot!
