If there is no opening bid for a player after 12 hours then he is eliminated and next player nominated. If a player gets even 1 bid then normal auction rules apply. We wait 24 hours. Auctions starting around 10pm and going to 10am there might be problems with those overnighters. Might be tough to get online to bid. 1) If you miss a '12-hour' auction you have 24hrs from end of it to contact admin to re-instate player. Admin will then place the auction ASAP and when 'nominated' automatically place the min. bid in teams name. The auction then goes as normal. 2) Look at list #1. Any player with an '*' in front of name contact admin and indicate that you want an automatic min bid just in case. 12-hour rule will start with Brad Lidge.
