Things to know for Auction Drafts:
-
Teams have 30 seconds to nominate a player to be put up for auction
-
Players are nominated by selecting them in the main players table, displaying the player’s image and their stats
-
If no player is selected within the 30 second time frame, the system will automatically nominate a player in the following priority:
-
The top player in the Player Queue panel (if any)
-
The highest priced player still available
-
-
The default for all player nominations is $1
-
This amount can be raised by the nominating team before submitting if desired
-
-
A successfully nominated player appears, with stats and a profile, in the “On the Block” area (the top area of the screen under the list of team owners), and the auction clock commences.
-
The auction clock countdown will start at 30 seconds and any bids inside of 10 seconds remaining will reset the clock back to 10 seconds until a bid is won
-
Bids can be made on a “+1” basis or by manually entering a dollar amount
-
There are two buttons in the application to submit a bid
-
The current bid on the player up for auction is displayed in the "Auction Block" to the right. This will also tell you if you are winning the bid or not
-
Teams can only bid dollar amounts, allowing at least $1 for any remaining roster slots
-
A team’s maximum bid is viewable by hovering over the team helmets
-
The maximum bid can also be set as an option in the options tab
- Once the bid max has been reached, the Draft App will no longer allow bid submissions and the bid buttons will be grayed out
