Bidding 1 hour wait

[Pincho]

Why is it that there is often a 1 hour wait for 5 star players? When I come back in 50 minutes after leaving Top 11 they are gone, and I have another long wait.

But here's the odd thing...

...between each player there is only about a 3 minute wait.

So it goes...

53 mins

56 mins

1hr 3mins

...between the 5 star players after the hour is up. Which means that I should really only have a 3 minute wait right now.

If there is a 3 minute wait after each hour, where are the 3 minute wait times now? And if I log off why can't I come back for those players next time?
