Nice to have two more owners from the old guard jumping in. Brings us to 21 owners now (possibly 20 though, mattedesa may have to back out due to time constraints).

Get in while the gettin's good boys, who's got the brass?


I'll update the owners list and street names tomorrow.

I'll take States Avenue if it's still there.

While we're waiting, here's a somewhat topical link that pertains to my preferred sports distraction in that dark time between the World Series Final and Spring Training:

If the NHL were a Monopoly Board

At some point it would be fun to do this with baseball. Pittsburgh and KC are the purple spaces for sure.

That's a difficult exercise- I'd probably make Boardwalk the Yankees and Park Place the Red Sox, but I'm biased.

New York and Boston have to be the Blues, though the Yankees also quality quite well for the Luxury Tax spot. I like the Cubs for the Short Line Railroad. It's in an expensive part of town, but it never goes very far.

The Cubs one is perfect.

I think the A's have to go on the Light Blue- not bad for the money but still not very good.  Similarly, the Mets have to go on the Greens- way too pricey.

* This may be a stupid question...maybe I just have ADD and can't read-

We are allowed to win only 1 Unit per category and then the rest of the leftover players from all the unbought units go into the supplemental Draft?  (In other words, we can't buy 2 Starting Pticher Units)

exactly.

beirnej1 has rejoined. 21 in still...

How about 3 people just join today because I'm dying to overpay for some units.

I see a problem arising with one of your rules.
Let's say I have the high bid on the Angels SP-- 22 hours have passed -- owner B places a bid  on them -- owner C notices the bid and figures he has another 24 hours before he needs to do something. You come along and delete the bid from owner B(because he currently has the high bid on the Reds SP's --  the rules say only one high bid per type of unit). Now I will win the bid in 2 hours, but owner C will show up the next day and be S O L, not knowing that owner B put in an illegal bid.

It seems like owner C should have just bid when he saw it the first time, if that is the lot he wanted.  And B should know that he can't bid on two teams at once.

It looks like all bids are via post, not sitemail.  Therefore, I believe that owner B (along with everyone else, for that matter) would be able to see the bid was illegal and act accordingly.  Correct me if I'm wrong, commish. 

After all, there is only one rule:  Know the rules.

I agree that a prudent owner would check owner B's other bids and see that there is a mistake. However, we all know stuff happens and mistakes are made. We should have a rule set up ahead of time in the event this happens.

For my two cents, staying with grayfoxx's original example, I'd say the clock should still be reset to the time of owner B's bid. Too many other people may have acted believing the bid was true. Tough luck for owner A, but at most it costs him a day and he could still win the bid at the original price. Hypothetical owner C was going to outbid him anyway, everything just slips back a day.

Also, there should be some form of punishment for owner B. Dock him $10 million maybe?

chain reaction --  owner B places a higher bid on the SP unit I am after -- since I am no longer the high bid I go and become the high bid on another SP unit.
If owner B's bid in negated, then I become the high bid on 2 different SP units. I shouldnt get fined for being the high bid on 2 SP units.

With all bids being made via post, and 24 owners bidding on 150 units, how many forum pages will we go through in 24 hours?
