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 therir stratagy by placing a cut or years in with the bid.
Personally, I think you guys are making a mountain oute 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.

Someone's panties are in a bunch.
Anyway. I am very much against the way it works now. It gives people who can't get online on the weekend a huge disadvantage. They either have to show their hand of what their planned moves are or just not get the player. I see no reason why we can't pause the auctions.
This is not a matter of knowing the rules - it is a matter of being fair to everyone. This doesn't impact me really - I am online all the time on the weekend, but not everyone is as much of a geek as I am.
