AUCTION LEAGUE...Going once...

[MEAT]

looks to me like the auction option has dissappeared on the somdraft.com sight. am I right about this? does anyone know how/have any interest in doing an auction with the new cards? if we could find 12 to do it, we'd have to conduct it on the Individual League Chat thread. my idea would be you'd have to bid on the thread, with 3-hour time limit based on the posting time. if your bid hasn't been beaten by then, the player is yours. if you can't be around, you'd have to proxy bids on players that are up. I should be around for most proxy taking, but could use another couple of owners to help, and ideally, most owners who sign up could be around for most of the live part of the auction. I would suggest abou 15 rounds of auction, but atleast ten. you would have to leave enough salary to fill out the rest of your roster with ATLEAST 500,000 per roster spot remaining. hopefully someone can make this moot by telling me there's an auction sight setup somewhere, or a better way to do it, any suggestions greatly appreciated. then again, if atleast 12 aren't interested...who cares?!

majority would rule, and open to modifications...but initial parameters are....
100m salalry cap (to make it nice round number to work with)
5/10/20 drop
DH
12 auction rounds...autodraft remainder
random number generator to decide draft order
#1 would throw first name out...minimum bid 500,000.
bidding in increments of 1,000.
maximum 12 players open to bid on at one time, one from each owner.
you cannot put up another player for auction until bidding closes on your first.
3-hour bidding window. once there has not been a bid for 3-hours on a posted player, he is owned by the last highest bidder.
clock runs from 9am eastern to 10pm eastern. clock resumes with any remaining time on open bid the following morning. (ex: last bid at 8:45pm estrn the night before...next morning, at 9am, clock resumes with 1:15 gone, meaning he'd be sold at 10:45am eastern if another bid was not made.)
you can proxy your max bid on a given player, and do so in multiple private messages on said player in case you're bidding against proxy taker. you can also proxy the next player you want to put up for bid.

what did I miss? is it all an exercise in mental masturbation? (not a bad team name actually!) is it too complex and convaluted to attempt? does anyone else want the chance to get whatever player they want and not rely on the whim of HAL'S autodraft, or where the lotto puts you...long as you've got the guts to outbid everyone? anyone?....

It may fly as long as the rules are not too complex.
