What the hell happens to this poor guy....after all...he didn't completely say the name to begin with. Maybe you make him take Mark Duper because he's not as eloquent of speech as you are.
if you say 1st and last name, you bought him. this is not hiding behind the rules. we are USING the rules. without rules in place and agreed upon, individual leagues could have different interpretations...aka laptop power.
with that said, in the vegas auction in year 1 someone mistakenly said a # in the teens (i think it was 13) outloud while a scumbag TE was being auctioned off...maybe it was Boo Williams, i can't remember specifically.
i wasn't really paying attention, because it was boo williams and who would ever bid on him...but what i heard from other people was that the owner was talking to another owner about which team just got the last player...team 13. needless to say, a verbal scuffle broke out and the owner who said 13 was awarded Boo for $13.
