| Message | whoa whoa whoa, If we're determining this "Champion" title by GMP then we can just add that to my title of "Greatest of all time" |
| Date | 2009-04-02 |
| Message | archives confirm: "Led by a solid batting lineup and one of the greatest bullpens of all-time, Mr. Auction or "Champion" as he now refers to himself..." (Oct.4,2000). Mr.Commissioner wrote this with no memory of any other using the moniker. But there are no archives from before 98 so perhaps i'm wrong.. and no, i'm not at all referring to you with that post, noel. your late bids are truly annoying but perfectly legal. i'm just talking about when the bidding is happening but someone gets surprised by a real quick count to end it. yours truly, The Champion of Champions (and sorry tim, but your GMP disqualifies you from the title) |

| Message | plaque is ready patty, you on top of it? thanks i've quick counted, but mostly slow counted and coaxed in those last second bids to juice up the prices.. both are annoying, depends what side your on.. as long as rulings are quick and painless i don't have an issue.. fast count's cousin is the silent count, in which case GMs vote if they knew the player was on the block or not.. it'll basically be like having all of us ump park league at the same time.. like you said though, it pretty much informally exists anyway.. let's put it in writing (as you've done) any more issues/concerns speak now. the champion thing is truly copyright infringement.. |

| Message | Don please clarify who you are talking about? If it is me with the fast count, you must be high on drugs because I have never fast counted in my life. I have late bid but I refuse to quit doing that as it is part of my favourite thing at draft day. On another note, please cesse and desist calling yourself "champion" as I believe if you go back in the history albiet 10 years since I coined the phrase for this banterboard I would like you to come up with your ownb and stop stealing mine...albiet 10 years ago from me winning a championship. Go Fighters!  |

| Message | I have no problem with this rule, sounds fine to me. |

| Message | dan, could we make official the auction/bidding rule that we've sort of mildly enforced in the past? i'm talking about the "late-bid", "quick-countdown" problems. I propose: "in the event of a questionable late-bid OR a too-quick, once-twice-sold count, any GM involved in the bidding can request an appeal from the other GM's by way of a collective vote. If someone deems the countdown as being unfairly abrupt or who's bid was cut-off they may appeal the auctioneers count and request a reset of the countdown. The other GM's will pledge to impartially rule on the fairness of the count." not that any of us are great at impartiality.. but there has been instances where people have gotten screwed by a quick-count. and i don't recall it having happened to me so this doesn't come from bitterness or anything. Go shockers |

| Message | I think Pedroia just had his best year he will ever have, and I don't believe in the steals at all. Hopefully I am wrong. The guys solid but just doesn't excite me, plus if he's great again I can just sign his option. Having said all this, he was a pretty safe contract. |

| Message | i call it the 2-long term contracts effect.. kemp's an easy 2 yr+ deal, but i'm hoping 1 of my 17 selections is better than $10-15 value.. if the slate was clean i'd be 2 yrs for sure.. add verlander to the regret list.. |
