Default Re: 24 hour weekend pause rule on FA bids

The solution is simple, MANAGE your team and your bids. Keep the deadlines in mind. Make appropriate plans, proxy moves to others, list cuts, whatever.

SACD and Frenzy are very complex leagues, and because of this, part of the responsiblity to manage rule infractions lies on every owner. It's specifically covered in the rules that the owners are responsiblle for policing themselves. The apps and whatnot are provided in a downloadable format for just that purpose.

Trust me, policing the rule infractions suck. The last thing any of us want to do is dole out penalties, but again, being a complex league, the burden of responsibility is placed on the shoulders of the individual teams.

There really is no reason IMO to make Friday bids wait till Monday to sell. I am going to be extremely vocal against this.

If you're the high bid on a Friday and won't be online Sat/Sun to make a move if you win, then PROXY to someone, or better yet friggen post it in the thread with your bid.

It's not rocket science. I can see eliminating the Off-Season to In-Season FA ebay bidding, but that isn't the case here. Every team, no matter what their access, can work with proxies if they're worried about divulging their stratagy by placing a cut or years in with the bid.

Personally, I think you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Sack up and take some responsibilty for managing your teams within the existing rules, there is no reason to change them in this area.
