I had set up for my star player and national team regular to have his auction end during Australia's primetime, since I ideally wanted the player to go to another team on home soil. Yet over the last few days the admins have sneakily added almost 6 hours to the auction over a number of instalments, pushing the deadline past midnight my time and even later in NSW/VIC.

BB has not made an official announcement on why this happened, and I'd like to kindly request one as the extensions, whilst made with good faith, weren't necessarily wanted. Now it's much more likely that my player is headed overseas, a risky proposition for any NT player.

There is always risk of troubles with transfers during off-season calculations. Don't sell your players during that time to avoid them.

The gap between the finals and the following season is a peak time for the market. Everyone is retooling their roster for the new season. Not selling players when the demand is there is poor business sense, so basically I had to list my players now regardless of off-season site issues.

Obviously I don't know. Maybe some preventive action maybe everything wasn't so smooth as it seems. I'm not here to defend anybody I just say it's risky to sell players during off-season process.

We have one specific calculation that always takes about 4-6 hours and during which all the transfers lock and fail. In order to prevent that, we need to reschedule the transfers that would end during that time. It's better to have no failed transfers and a stable site than pushing some deadlines.

Can you add this information somewhere. It sounds like there is no way around it, but if someone wants to list players at off-peak times for Europe, they would probably plan it so that the auction ends on a different day, if they knew auctions are automatically rescheduled when they end in that period on the day the calculations are run.

When transfers need to be delayed like this, it might be good policy to just move the affected transfers back 24 hours, to keep the times consistent. People often choose specific times of day for listings to ensure the transfers end during peak hours.

not sure, people may want the money as soon as possible (that is usually the case), so the choice should be theirs. Just add this information to Nickleon's new season posts and everybody can consider him/herself informed and decide whether he/she's fine with the 4-6 hours delay or if he/she prefers to list the player one day later or for an extra day (if supporter) at the preferred time.
