Fantasy Auctioneer.com is actually picking the draft order just before the auction, so that will also be the order of the reserve draft. they will post the draft order just minutes before the auction starts, so you won't know the nominating order until just before the auction starts. Good luck everyone.

Okay, I need to correct myself on this post above. There will be a small change to the auction format set for Thursday's mid-season league. FantasyAuctioneer.com doesn't have the ability to run a reserve draft after the auction, so we are going to give each owner an additional $7 for those last seven players. The auction will now consist of $267 for 30 players, which really isn't any different than $260 for 23 players and seven draft picks. I actually like this better as the reserve round is a serpentine draft and draft order becomes too much of a factor in a league where everyone should have access to every player.

So plan accordingly for $267 for 30 players and it will be an auction all the way. Each of you will just have to e-mail me your seven reserves by Friday morning after the auction as I'll enter the leagues by hand that morning and have them available to you on your NFBC My Teams area before Friday's games. Sound good?
