Auction Tool for Free Agency
Just posting a heads up to commissioners about a tool I created for my online league. First of all, some background...
For 40 seasons and 6 real years, we have run our free agency outside of the game, on the boards, in an "open" auction style, meaning that every bid is visible to everyone. We also never use a strict deadline for bid closure but instead have the clock reset every time a bid or counter bid is made. Our clock runs for 24 hours, so if you place a bid on a free agent and then 24 hours passes with no counter-bids coming from other teams, that free agent is considered "SIGNED" to your team. We do have a bid limit of 3 though to force the use of strategies when bidding. Our free agency system has always been extremely exciting and is probably just as exciting, if not more than the Ammy Draft for us in Asahi2. Our rules page is here. That said, I put together a tool that gives the admins much more power when overseeing the draft, while allowing teams to quickly make bids without typing and to watch their bids and their budget, and much more. This tool is for online leagues that want to try an "open" bidding system, the key word being "open". Details are on this page: AllSimBaseball Free Agent Auction 1.0 Ask any questions there.
