Every day from August 31 to September 14, at least two teams will be posted for bidding per day.
All 2019 or older accounts that are non-welcher/blacklisted can participate as long as they follow the rules below.DurationAll auctions will end at 9pm EST on the day listed above. Auction threads will be posted roughly 24 hours in advance of their end time. If a post is time-stamped at/after 9:01pm EST, then it is too late.
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.
BiddingAll bids must be a minimum of 100 fg more than the previous bid.
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, you will be banned from participating in all future auctions, and you will be welcher-tagged.
Edited posts/bids will be ignored except for the following: if you make a false bid in the 30 minutes before an auction ends and then edit it after 9pm EST, you will be banned. I don't care what your post said.
WinningWhoever 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
. Otherwise, the team will be sold to the next-highest bid (if they still want it—no obligation here) 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, and you will be welcher tagged.
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, such as if you win a 4th team. You can own fractions of a team, so you could own half of 6 teams, for instance.
If you give/sell a team to someone else, please confirm the transaction in this thread.
Welcher/Blacklisted users cannot win or own teams, and their bids will be ignored. Welchers are probably listed somewhere in
this thread.
If the owner of a team is or becomes welcher-tagged or if they break the thread rules before pay-outs occur, then that person will be stripped of their rights to own their team(s). The fg that was paid for their team(s) will be considered a donation to the pot, and their team(s) will be re-auctioned.
If you have any questions about anything, please ask.
PayoutsPayouts are as follows:
• SB Winner: 70% of pot
• SB Loser: 20% of pot
• WC Berth Winners: 1% of pot for each of the four teams
• #1 Overall Pick: 6% of pot (if it's a traded pick, it goes to the team who originally owned the pick)
Finally, in the event the season is canceled, everyone will be refunded (except for people who broke the rules and had their team confiscated). If you bought a team from someone else, then you will receive whatever the original buyer paid.
If the season is just postponed, then we will wait until the #1 pick and SB winner & loser are determined.
