The START TIME for the C/FA Auction THIS COMING SATURDAY FEB 16 will be 6:30 Central / 7:30 Eastern. Which translates to 4:30 Pacific and, because it gets funnier every single time I say it, the traditional 4:37 am Eric Standard Time.
As in the last few years, the Auction will be conducted via an AIM Chat Room. I should be online a little early to invite people to the Chat, but if you don't get an invite please send me an instant message or email. Please be sure to tell me what teams you will be representing at the auction.
The auction will start with the C Players, presented in the order they are listed on the site. Bidding on C Players will commence at $150K and subsequent bids must be in minimum increments of $20K above that.
After that the auction will move on to the Free Agents, also in the order presented. Bids on Free Agents will commence at $40K and subsequent bids must be in minimum increments of $10K above that.
As with every year, please be ready to move the auction along fairly briskly so that it doesn't go too late, especially with a fairly long list of C and FA players this year. We will be starting promptly at the designated time, so don't be late!
If anyone cannot make the auction, please ask another owner ahead of time to agree to make bids on your team's behalf and to make matching decisions on your C players. In the unlikely event that someone is not present and is not represented at the auction, that team's C players will *not* be matched at any amount.
I just now noticed that David Cooper was left off the "C" list, which he should be on. I am assuming we will add him to the end of the list as in years past?
