I wouldn't be able to set it up, have only done one but its by far the funnest format. Those familiar with fantasy baseball auction formats will feel right at home, as you try and determine how much of your budget to blow on a particular player, or try to guage just how much will someone else pay for Roger Clemens as you sneak a bid in just before the end of the 24 hour deadline, dashing the hopes of someone who "thought" they would only pay $23 million for the Rocket.
I don't know all the rules, but if there is enough interest, I'm sure someone who is familiar can set it up. Again, I can't set it up, and yes, it would involve using Penn's awesome site, but I would sure love to see if there is interest for this format. I do know it would be unique stadiums, based upon high bid, so no need to list a lottery state. Sign-ups below, and if someone could take charge by finding and listing the rules, that would be great!

Maybe I'm optimistic listing alternates, but I haven't seen an auction league in nearly a year, so maybe interest will be high.

Jimmy, I've never done one, so I couldn't set it up, but I've heard they are a blast. Secondly, if YOU are in the league, I wanna play too !!

Hope all is well on your side of the pond. Merry Christmas, my friend !!

I am going to put myself down as an alternate for a couple of reasons. First, I will be away from home. I will have limited access to a computer. Second, I have not been able to get on Penn's site. I tried once and I don't know if my email got through.

I have never heard of such a thing, but I never turn down a good auction.

So much for the budget. Like the 80s better, but all my credits of late seem to be in '05 and '69.

Been waiting a while for one of these to start up. 8) It's new to me but I really want to give it a spin.
