Transfers Rules

[Saulle Mattei]

I try to explain it "better".

I'm in a bid, I make one offer when the countdown is finishing (one second at the end). In this way the countdown will restart to 60/30/20 secs (it depends from the bid tournament).
My competitor manager make his offer at the end of the countdown (one second to the end), but the countdown it will not restart and the bid is closed. My competitor manager win.

Today I have lost several bid (and token) in this way. Really.

Replied to your PM with answer but for clarity I'll repeat it here.

The bidding enterred a new round after your bid because both you and he had made a bid in the same round.

Your bid did not reset the counter. The counter went to zero - but because 2 people bid in the same round the auction goes to a new round and the timer starts.

In your case the new round started.

You did not bid. He did bid. He wins.

Ok. Please erase "reset the counter" words..... I made a mistake.

I describe what happened today. For example: me and you in the tranfer tournament.
First round, you make the offer and me, too. I make it at the last second so , in this way, the counter restart: 60 seconds.
You make another offer and I make another offer at the last second. The counter restar: 30 seconds.
You make another offer at the last second. The counter doesn't restart. You win the bid.

Yes, thats what should happen.

This thread has given me the urge to vent about a couple little things that the vast majority of lower lvl players seem to think in regards to transfers.

I really want to clear them up even though it will not help me any and could in theory hurt me.

1. If you do not bid in any given round you are in danger of losing the player. The color means only that you are the last bidder at that moment and would win should nobody else bid.

2. STOP, for the love of god, bidding twice or more in a single round. You are accomplishing nothing but raising the cost of the player.

3. If someone else has bid in the current round it does not do you any good to wait til the last second to bid. There is no round in which the last bidder wins regardless of number of bidders. You can only win by being the only bidder in a round. What it does do is irritate the person who was about to win the player and in my case assure you that you will never win said player at any cost.

Why not let token buyers waste their money, it amuses me every time they frow their tokens in the bin. I say let them bid as many times each round that they want, lean back an steady spend 1 token each round try summing their total waste of tokens, its quite the sport
