Mid-July BBDS league

Three owners already have their BBDS bids into me. Boy, how lucky am I to get to see all of these?!

Let's get 11 more in before 4 p.m. EST on Wednesday and I promise to have the draft order up before I leave for a long weekend. I will have to find a way to e-mail the winning bids to the owners since we're keeping the bids secret.

Now let's get those bids in!

One silly question...

How does Greg determine winners of each slot...

a) Pick one...looks over highest bids for pick one...and awards to highest bidder. Then goes to pick two and repeats?

b) Looks at your draft pick order according to how you list your preference...(i.e....

pick 1 245
pick 2 167
pick 3 167
pick 12 104
pick 11 99
etc...

Just wanted to know...I assume it's closer to the second choice here.

The owner who bids the highest dollar amount is awarded that particular draft slot and that owner and draft slot are removed from future consideration. If there are ties, Greg/Tom will randomly determine which owner is awarded the slot. The process is continued until all draft slots are taken. If some slots aren't bid on, Greg/Tom will randomly place the remaining owners into those slots.

...simply as an fyi, this will differ from The SNAKE Classic where the league site has already been set up and under the My Settings/Draft Preferences is listed KDS...in the event of a tie for a slot or a non-bid then the slots will then revert to KDS as it was chosen beforehand according to the individual owners KDS preference...simply an fyi here...SNAKE just an fyi from GG. if owners have a preference they should bid on it. if they don't bid...that means no preference. can't get any simplier. stop making bbds more complicated than it is.

Although again intuitive, I suspect a possible point of confusion might be if and when an owner wins multiple positons. That is, for example, he is high bidder on positon 1 @ 900; he is high bid on position 3 with 840; he is also high bid on position 6 with 250. Intuitively, the actual winning bid for this owner would be determined by his KDS; assuming hid KDS was 3-6-1-2-etc.His actual winning draft position would be 3 based on his KDS and not 1, which was his numerically highest bid. Don't mean to be confusing or try to make this simple process complicated; but I assumed this is how its intended to work.

It works like FAAB. Your highest bids are considered first. If you have the highest bid, you get that pick.

I think common sense tells if an owner wins draft position #1 with a $900 bid and also has the highest bid for position #3 at $840, they will be awarded position #1.
