Rule Proposals

Amendment 3 (Max Bid): If the envelope bid would win the player except that the bid puts the envelope manager over budget, the envelope manager’s bid will be taken as his max bid (bringing his budget to zero). The in-person winner will still have the right to outbid the envelope manager’s max bid, but if he opts not to, the envelope manager gets the player at max bid.  For example: In-person bidder A wins Matt Breida with a $3 bid.  Envelope bidder B bid $14 on Breida, but he only has $10 left in his budget.  $10 will be taken as B's max bid.  A may choose to outbid B's max bid of $10 by bidding $11; if he does not, B gets Breida and his budget is now $0.

Amendment 4 ($300 Bid Rule)
Cut (2) (the $300 bid rule)

Yes: Joe

Justin's Envelope Rule: See (3), as (1) and (2) are already in effect.  See amendments below









Justin's amendment: In the case of the envelope bid being equal to the winning bid the person who won the bid in-person retains the player for the winning bid amount and does not need to bid $1 over the envelope bid.

Joe's amendment: The sealed envelopes with player names on the outside will be available for all managers to see.  There will be transparency regarding which players have envelopes.
