<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Minor suggestions for related changes, while you're in there: (1) where the rules refer to the old AllStar site name as the official source of stats/scoring, change that to a generic reference, and (2) delete or modify the provision that says stats are reported weekly.

<div>This is great work. But let’s change the constitution for those who weren’t in the league in these years so the rules are clear. Agree??<br clear="none">

<div> See below regarding guidance from Onroto on FAAB bidding. Anything written below should trump what I am about to tell you, but I think the bottom line is that the Onroto system treats contingent bids as having the same priority as non-contingent bids.
This was not true before we started using Onroto. In Onroto, a contingent bid of $X will win over a non-contingent bid of less than $X; it was the opposite in our old system. While not really relevant, my own view is that the Onroto system is a fairer way
to do things. Note also below how Onroto handles the fascinating circumstance of placing both a contingent and non-contingent bid on the same player!</div>

Hi Mark,<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The commish always get a blow-by-blow of what happened each week: Commish<br clear="none">
Pages -> Transactions -> View Bid Logs.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
You guys are a FAAB league, so that makes it a simple explanation: Dollar<br clear="none">
values always trump priority *except as a team runs out of money*.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Example:<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
1.) replace X by bidding $10 on A<br clear="none">
2.) replace Y by bidding $17 on B<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
If you have more than $27 to spend, the program will go ahead and give you<br clear="none">
player B to replace Y in all instances. If you have $17, however, it will<br clear="none">
try to give you player A first, before moving on to see if you've won<br clear="none">
player B.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
If you do this:<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
1.) replace X by bidding $10 on A<br clear="none">
bidding $15 on B<br clear="none">
2.) replace Y by bidding $17 on B<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
the program will try $10 on A first -- if you're not the high bidder, it<br clear="none">
will try $15 on B -- and there it will see that someone has a $17 bid on B<br clear="none">
and so will quash your $15 bid. In effect, you trumped yourself. This<br clear="none">
prevents people from hedging, as it were.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
You can also induce an infinite loop if you mix and match higher and lower<br clear="none">
contingent bids on the same sets of players.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Hope this helps.<br clear="none">
