Seeing as I had to outbid the entire country of Chile in the end, I would say it nearly was. The guy kept having his friends bid for his own players at the last second to get the money

I dealt with something like that last year. I was pretty annoyed. If there were improper transfers going on, I'd suggest reporting it if you haven't already.

Yeah, Mr. Dhoff there put a bid in sometime around then and I had to answer him. After that it was kind of a blur.

I think I bid around $5.4M or so. Then, all of a sudden the bid was over $8M, at which point I went back to sleep.

edit: Crappy formatting.

(40032) That's the team that wanted to buy . It's kind of a bit of a story (several e-mails involved) and I can give some full details later tonight if anyone is interested.

You can tell by the date that he put the players up last night during the bidding. One of the bidders was the guy I bought Depetris from. Needless to say, he put bids back on his own players. I don't know if sending money like that is illegal, but they were all Chilean teams buying Juan XXIII's players. It definately inflated the price by several million. If that was illegal, maybe I can get some of my money back.

I kind of feel like a jerk now since they wanted to keep their guy to train, but he WAS listed on the TL, so...

Yeah, that's quite true.

Congrats on the tourney win. I think I may have to put a bounty out on the head of Harrell, though.

Interesting pending results right now, with Turkey looking like securing the 3rd seed.

Didn't expect that result, played RnG just so harrell could get lots of points to secure top scorer (and maybe MVP?)

I was originally going to Normal against Demon tonight but changed to a TIE at the last minute. Whew.

I thought Trombe was going to sneak out a win over nth_mlb, but it's not looking so good now. Shame, that would've gotten me the 1 seed.

Who's going to volunteer to explain to Demon what the purpose of a 1-3-1 zone is?

I'd appreciate it if you'd wait until Wednesday for that explanation.
