I’d think that a tied bid=a beat bid so the amount would have to go upAnother potential issue that I can see happening already with some of the bids...looking for opinions on what to do.
What do people think should happen in the event of a tied bid?
Didn't even think of that before for some reason, but seeing it happening already. Don't want to make this a "time" thing where first person who bid the tied amount gets it so any other ideas?
Flip a coin?
Is there one more spot open?
I would contact the people that tied. Let them send in a new offer and whoever goes higher gets the playerAnother potential issue that I can see happening already with some of the bids...looking for opinions on what to do.

For ties I’d go first come first serve
So when you say the bid for the player HAS to be there 2019-2020, do you mean cap hit or salary?
Cap hit, I assume.
I assumed so as well but just wanted to make 100%.
Also, are we allowing trading? Retaining cap/$$$ on trades?
Just a quick reminder that bidding for day 1 ends at 8pm EST. Still have a few guys without any bids yet so just making sure everyone knows of the deadline since this is new and all.

If your strategy is to not bid at all Day 1 that's cool too though.
HOLY CRAP I AM GETTING NO ONE ON DAY 1ALL PARTICIPANTS PLEASE READ
Okay so we ran into some snags today, but think they are all worked through now. But...there will be necessary changes starting Day 2 so this isn't a problem in the future.
CHANGES
1) Starting Day 2, you will only be allowed to bid TOTAL the amount of cap space you have left. We ran into some issues with some people making large bids on almost everyone and nearly going over the 100m cap on Day 1 (my bad, should have seen this coming). So if you only have 70m in space after today for example, you will have to choose where to bid your money more carefully instead of just bidding 200m+ in total on all the players available.
2) To accommodate this change, the talent will be more evenly distributed throughout the draft. I realize that first round was very top heavy and people wanted to secure some elite talent at all costs. It was originally supposed to be like that again for Day 2, with talent generally decreasing throughout the draft. It will still be this case to some extent (as I am sure people would ideally like to have their most valuable positions sorted out before their depth pieces), but I will try not to make it so that there will be no high end talent available later in the draft if you miss out on it early on.
3) Ties: In the event of a tied bid, I will ask each person involved in the tie what is the maximum bid they are willing to do. Whoever re-bids higher will get the player. Each person in the re-bid will have the 24 hours to re-bid on that player, but the player will sign as soon as all people involved reply. If neither person involved in the tie bid is willing to up their offer at all, I will flip a coin.
Sorry for all the changes and potential issues along the way. New game and requiring changes as new problems arise. I think that is all for now. Day 1 players will sign in an hour.
