Ian, you have me leading on Read with 80 and it going to a coin flip. but DFM has already bid 100 if he doesn't get the coin flip - so can we just do the coin flip?

If i win the coin flip then DFM has bid 100 and has highest bid on Read, and if i lose the coin flip then I don't have him anyway. Either way I don't have Read but he's using up 80k of my budget - so in my next round of bids I'm just going to assume that I have that additional 80 to spend elsewhere (i.e. total left to spend of 700) or use that and more on upping my bid for Read to 110.

Also, if I'm jointly leading on Miles then I guess I don't have him and will need to rebid - therefore I assume that the 50k for him is not included in my spend to date and is included in he amount that I have left to spend?

Didn't foresee the complication with DFM's additional bid Really he should be the leading bid at £100K. I have done the tiebreaker and it has gone to Powelly, so I guess if he bids £120K in this round he will take him. Your budget will be £80K higher than stated.

If we are going to alternate our tiebreakers then you have it on Miles so will keep him. The others I have on Dilshan and Meschede, with you have on McKay and Shahzad.

Hope that makes sense

Players going to a 3rd round:

Am I correct in believing that only those listed as 1st round leaders can bid on the players listed above.?

Absolutely

[ianp1970]

I do believe I won Tom Cooper, not Powelly as stated.

my mistake - will amend.

Sorry to be pedantic...but I didn't bid on Mark Footitt.

That was me doing myself out of the leading 1st round bid!

Apologies, it was getting late last night. I have just checked the other "3 round" options and they seem correct.

[ianp1970]

Any other errors, please let me know

Extract from round 2 rules.

Players can also bid for anyone who wasn't bidded for in round 1. If they are the only one, they will win that player. (it would be logical for people to only bid list price for the players who didn't receive a bid in round 1.)

Three of us bid for Riki Clarke, two bid his base value and the third bid 10,000 more. Why was the high bidder allocated Clarke when the rule above simply says the winner must be only bidder.

keep going, Ian. You're doing a fine job.

He means it in terms of the "only one" having the set highest value, not the only person to bid.... ie, no option for the lower person as with round 1 bids being able to counter the highest..... all rounds after go to the highest bidder outright.

Seconded.

Its a time consuming game to setup, but a very enjoyable one once the rounds get going. This year was a little rushed due to the last minute suggestion to do it, so lets be respectful guys! Its a bit unfair on Ian to keep criticising the minute detail of the rules, and suggestions of dishonesty from earlier posts are really out of order imo.

Concentrate on getting a team that can match mine rather then moan

Is there a closing date set for round 3 ?
