Hopefully by providing an example player here to bid on, owners can get a feel for using their FA calculators.
The random player I'm putting up for practice bidding (no, you will not actually win him) is Brian Dozier.
I will start the bidding off below

Good question. The answers are embedded in the calculator but I will lay them out here.
If there are under 20 bid points, each subsequent bid must increase by 15%
If there are between 20 and 100 bid points, each subsequent bid must increase by 10%
If there are over 100 bid points, each subsequent bid must increase by 5%

I also realized a mistake on my part. Not all of the calculators were set to the same year (I've changed them all to 2016 now).
I will erase the bids that have been placed so far and start over for the sake of confusion.

Just FYI - the Google Doc boxes are sensitive. The last user before me put a "y" in the major league contract input box which the spreadsheet read as a "n" until I capitalized the "Y"

So, if this was the actual auction, would it have ended last night at midnight? And, therefore I would have landed Dozier? Or, is it 24 hours from when you post the player?

The top bid must stand for 24 hours. Nobody would've won Dozier yet. Keep on bidding folks.

so are you going to post something like 10 or 20 guys at a time until they are all awarded? Then a new set of 20? Or as soon as one guy is awarded then a new player gets added to the rotation? How does that work?
