<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>
<br>
The commish always get a blow-by-blow of what happened each week: Commish<br>
Pages -> Transactions -> View Bid Logs.<br>
<br>
You guys are a FAAB league, so that makes it a simple explanation: Dollar<br>
values always trump priority *except as a team runs out of money*.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
1.) replace X by bidding $10 on A<br>
2.) replace Y by bidding $17 on B<br>
<br>
If you have more than $27 to spend, the program will go ahead and give you<br>
player B to replace Y in all instances. If you have $17, however, it will<br>
try to give you player A first, before moving on to see if you've won<br>
player B.<br>
<br>
If you do this:<br>
<br>
1.) replace X by bidding $10 on A<br>
bidding $15 on B<br>
2.) replace Y by bidding $17 on B<br>
<br>
the program will try $10 on A first -- if you're not the high bidder, it<br>
will try $15 on B -- and there it will see that someone has a $17 bid on B<br>
and so will quash your $15 bid. In effect, you trumped yourself. This<br>
prevents people from hedging, as it were.<br>
<br>
You can also induce an infinite loop if you mix and match higher and lower<br>
contingent bids on the same sets of players.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
