Please vote on whether you think minimum bid increment should increase or be $0.10 only.
For the Initial Draft Auction the rule is:
*The minimum bid increasement is $0.10. On the 11th bid the minimum increment must be $0.25. On the 20th bid the minimum increment must be $0.50

I think it would make it simpler for everyone to keep it at one increase. Maybe do just on the 20th bid increase it to 0.25?

I agree with the White Sox, I think we should keep it at $.10 increments. Especially considering we have a small budget that needs to have 25 players on it for the start of the regular season.

I voted for only .1 for simplicity, but I would suggest a third option based on the quantity of the bid. This would avoid repetitive tiny bids at the end of higher auction prices. I haven't run the numbers on this league yet but for example:
Bid < $2, min bid $.1
$2 < Bid < $10, min bid $.5
Bid > $10, min bid $1

I haven't run the numbers on this league yet but for example: Bid < $2, min bid $.1 $2 < Bid < $10, min bid $.5 Bid > $10, min bid $1 I kind of like this idea except I would say this instead: Bids < $2=Min bid $0.10 $2 < Bid < $10=Min bid $0.25 Bid > $10= Min bid $0.50 I too voted for $0.10 only because of how complex the auction already is people would get confused and forget to bid correctly. But if we were to implement a minimum bid increasement I think what Washington proposed would be the best option. Can I get a second that other than Washington and I will include this in the voting? |

I think the minimum amount should be consistent no matter what the amount is that way it is less confusing. You can do it in fifty cent increments or something like that. I am not picky on the amount I voted for the .1 because it was consistent.

It's a little early to be locking things in stone. I think the .10 minimum just drags things out. I like the Nationals idea.
Bid < $2, min bid $.1
$2 < Bid < $10, min bid $.5
Bid > $10, min bid $1

I also like the Nationals idea. If we are bidding on Kershaw for $21.1M do you really want to be beat out and have to keep going caue someone does $21.2?
