I agree with kps. I thought the 55 players per list is a good idea.
Accepting reservations on the nominations will just add to your work, Pol. I don't see the big deal. If your pick doesn't make it to the list, just wait and add them next time.
I have to say, this is utter stupidity, with the whole fines and overbiding. I can't see how it makes sense that someone will bid money he doesn't have? screw the fines later if we wait until he wins and gets the players only to sell them? a waste of time. We should just simply not bid over our budget, it's not really complicated.
FAO all managers, we have expanded the auction list to 100 players - 24 midfielders in a separate thread and 33 (FW, DF, GK) here
Any manager can start adding new nominations
Bidding can resume
Another vacancy has opened upI'm going to be backing out, @Polaroid I don't have time for it really and I don't understand the whole bid and fine system and people flagrantly just inflating prices, I am not a fan of this format if I am honest and I will just wait for the next sheep or snake draft.
Good luck all.
Im so utterly confused lol.
This has become a catastrophe.. With the two threads, plus the never ending list of players, plus the inflating people done for some players with money they don't have, plus the enormous 24 hour deadline which is really hard to reach, and managers dropping out like flies.. Just simply doesn't seem to work.

Pol I'm really don't think you did a bad job, and even if I was thinking that so feck me because you've spent time doing it. It's just too much mess, I think the problem is within the idea.You can never please everybody
Whoever can do a better job please feel free to take over the admin

Due to restricted list the prices are inflated.

The biggest problem here is that some of the mangers want to play with a high pace, while others want to just check it a few minutes twice a day. I think we should have done this with 8 very active managers and short deadlines (8 hours) with a smaller list of players (32 for example, even the 55 was too big, imo) or we need to accept that it will take a long time. There's no way you can keep everyone happy in this format, in my opinion. It's great that you tried, but it turned it into a mess (I really don't like the two threads and the extension to 100 players). I can't see how we could unite the junkies, who want to get it done as soon as possible, with the patient managers, who want to invest a few minutes a day for fun, in this format and have everyone enjoy it.How would you do it? If it works much better, everyone can think about it and consider adopting it, can you run it?

I don't get this at all.
If you think its inflated then don't bid, what is the problem? If you think people are bidding silly amounts then just sit back and let them, you would benefit.
I think in general everyone just underestimated the competition for players - the player pool isn't huge.
It's less enjoyable, at least for me it is, it's all so balanced out. If everyone ends up with 12 players on average, we will draft 192 players in total, which means we now have more than half of all players available at the same time. That's not an auction anymore, in which you take risks and then have to live with the consequences, because you don't know yet what will happen in the next rounds. Now, you can buy your whole team almost at once. I thought the idea is to have everyone competing for single players at the same time. That's not what's happening here at all, we're basically competing for whole teams already.To be honest, it still is a list of 50 midfielders over minimum 64 (assuming 4/manager), so there will be healthy bidding. As the 24 hr limit stays, I don't see how it become difficult for any manager. Not sure why a bigger pool would turn this into a mess!
