Remember, Bids Go Highest $ Amount To Lowest $ Amount

Just a heads up that the software does allow you to save a Conditional Bid at a higher dollar amount than your primary bid for a particular free agent. But the rules clearly state that bids will be processed by the highest dollar amount to lowest dollar amount. In fact, we will design the setup so that once you save your bids you will see the order of priority for your bids saves highest dollar amount to lowest dollar amount. So even if you save it with your Conditional Bid higher than your primary bid, the system will reverse the order and show you how it will be processed.

That may already be done, I'm not sure, but if not it will be processed that way and soon the system will show it this way when you save a bid.

I hope this helps you for tomorrow. Good luck all.

I have one list. Every time I go to the FA page, the order of the list changes.

The same thing happens to my FA list.

All of my conditional bids are lower than my primary bids.

Is their a problem with the system or will I need to change this again?

Bryan Yes, it is still showing up for some folks, but IT said that's all part of the process in fixing it. Sorry.

From IT: Everything is definitely being saved correctly – there is a possibility that the order in the display will change when the page reloads until we get this fix in place.

All bids will be processed highest to lowest. The order on the page does not matter. Even the $1 bids that are being jumbled are being saved as you had them and then just displaying wrong.

We will have the display corrected to sort from highest bid to lowest tomorrow at the latest.

Sorry for the confusion and I know it's rough to save your list and then see it jumbled 5 minutes later, but this is being saved correctly and these bugs should be cleared out tomorrow at the latest. Thanks all.

Keep making bids. Keep saving. And then we'll have it right for you tomorrow night. Thanks all.
