MFL allows for this. I like it.Pix wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 3:41 am Firstly, I agree with everything Valhalla said.
Secondly, we're only talking about players whose value increases suddenly due to injury or whatever, because we're all good enough to pick up our sleepers a week or two before they break out, aren't we?
I like the idea of auctions as they give everyone a chance at every free agent. I'm OK with giving weaker teams more $FAAB but getting the earlier drafts picks seems enough of an advantage to me.
But wouldn't it be great if we could do semi-open auctions, rather like eBay? That is:
You enter your maximum bid and the system handles the bidding.
The winning bid is $1 more than the second highest bid.
Everyone can see what the current winning bid is.
For example, for those who don't do eBay auctions:
Team A enters $10 maximum for Bryce Petty.
It's the first bid, so the system bids $1. Everyone can see that the highest bid is $1.
Team B then enters $6 maximum for Bryce Petty.
The system raises Team A's bid to $7. Everyone can see that the highest bid is $7.
Team C then enters $15 maximum for Bryce Petty.
As Team A's maximum bid is $10, the system enters a bid of $11 by Team C. Everyone can see that the highest bid is $11.
The auction ends, and Team C wins Bryce Petty for $11.
Various auction settings could be adaptable, and yes it would have all the same disadvantages as Blind Bid auctions.

Re: Most fair waiver process
in one of my leagues we run the "waivers" in a non-blind bidding war. the only issue I have is it shows the team who placed the bid. if you have a savvy owner in the league it makes other owners aware of the player being bid on. which is fair IMO, it just bothers me because I will get sniped just because it's me who is bidding on a guy. after Thursdays bidding closes, it is first come first served which I like because I just stopped placing bids on guys (in order to not skyline myself) and take advantage of the immediate acquisition.
