FREE AGENT BIDDING

If I want to pick up a player and bid $300 on him and name a player to be dropped, and then have six other players (conditional bids) behind him using the SAME dropped player, I will get one of those players (assuming one of my bids is the highest).

NOW, I want to bid on a 2nd player with A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT player to be dropped. My question is, "Once a player is received and a player is dropped, then all the other conditional bids with the same dropped player would now be VOID, yes? Therefore, it would then move onto my other players that have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT player to be dropped, yes?

Hope it is easy to understand?

If you bid on Player A and receive that player, then yes all of the conditional bids you made for that move will become void.

And then if I have ANOTHER player I want to pick up and have a DIFFERENT DROPPED PLAYER, I could also receive that player, correct?

It's actually kind of funny - the question amounts to:

"Can I drop the same player more than once and pick up multiple players in exchange for the 1 guy I lose?"

Think about it.

I have a few questions:

Is the cutoff time for "Draft Champions" free agents the same as the big game?

If I bid less for a player than somebody else but I really, really want him, can I bid again...like on Saturday?

If I pay a lot for a free agent and he sucks this week, can I sell him back for what I paid for him?

Thanks again for answering as I'm sure many others had the same questions.

Dyv If it came across that way, either I wrote it incorrectly, or you didn't understand. (Chancea are it is the second one! )

Billy, read your post again... here it is, with a 'name' instead of a concept:

"If I want to pick up Bob and bid $300 on Bob and name Mary to be dropped, and then have six other players (conditional bids) behind Bob using the SAME dropped player (Mary), I will get one of those players (assuming one of my bids is the highest).

Dyv's note: We're good so far here - yes, if you win a bid you would get the player you won... (again, this IS what you asked... )

NOW, I want to bid on Mike with Betty to be dropped. My question is, "Once Bob is received and Mary is dropped, then all the other conditional bids dropping Mary would now be VOID, yes?

Dyv's note: This is where you asked for confirmation that you couldn't drop the same player (in this case Mary) more than once.

Therefore, it would then move onto my other players that have Betty to be dropped, yes?

Dyv's note: Yes, after one set of waivers was fully processed and you dropped a player already, you would be unable to drop that player again. Now, if your second set of players were processed and you got one of them, you couldn't drop THAT player a second or third time either.

Now, did you write it incorrectly or did I not understand?

Thanks Waz ;)
