Auction Draft - Simple Format

I guess you've also got the possibility of other people taking over places if somebody needs to drop out.

If there's an Auction Draft then I feel I should be involved (even if you've already had too many sign-ups!)

Also means I can hold fire on my next auction draft for a while.

No, just to keep it interesting :)
Wouldn't it make it part guessing game, though? It might not be possible for me to make a proper informed decision on whether or not to bid for Marshall without knowing if McGrath isn't going to pop up later.

I reckon there needs to be more players auctioned, to give people more of a choice. Having players go unsold is a good thing.

I'd say maybe 180 players? As that'd take a while, just auction two (or three/four/etc.) at a time, with either 12 or 24 hour timeslots. Preferably 12.

180 / 2 / 2 = 45 days, if we do two players at a time, over 12 hour timeslots.

Auctioning multiple players at a time doesn't work cause we suck at money management as proven the last time around.

I reckon 150 players if we're not multi-auctioning then (preferably a pre-released list).

Would take two and a half months.
