Hope this isn't too late, Mark...<br>
<br>
The bids are sorted based on the highest bid. The blocks don't matter usually, but<br>
the contingent order does. If you don't get your first contingent, we start going<br>
down your list. When you do win, all the contingent bids are flushed out. So the<br>
most important thing is to put the guys you truly want as your highest contingent<br>
bids. If your want more than one player, you need to use more than one block.<br>
<br>
wai WPipp NYY 1.) bid $50 on LGehrig NYY<br>
2.) bid $40 on SMusial StL<br>
<br>
gets you Gehrig for $50, or Musial for $40, is someone else gets Gerhig.<br>
<br>
wai WPipp NYY 1.) bid $50 on LGehrig NYY<br>
2.) bid $40 on SMusial StL<br>
<br>
wai TTresh NYY 1.) bid $40 on SMusial StL<br>
<br>
would get you Gehrig for $50 and Musial for $40 if you have the highest bids for both.<br>
