I'm going to award the player to Carolina with their 3m bid.  I do believe this was an honest mistake.  Corey opened the bidding at 1.8m, was outbid at 2m.  Corey's next bid was 2m, clearly a typo.  The next bid after the erroneous bid was 3 days later. 

3m*

Contract?

I am going to argue you on this one rob. Not that I would keep bidding on him myself at this point but I dont think you can count an invalid bid as a valid timestamp. 
If it was a typo it should be caught and corrected within minutes maybe an hour not days.  As a Co- Commish I say bad precedent but your call.

Ya I have to agrue as well. Bid came in on September 1st and that is all we can really go by not a possibly bid. Yes an honest mistake but still not a valid bid so can't be timestamped backwards.

You know I'm not a fan of setting precedents like this.  We've discussed other situations in the past.  Corey's been in the league since day 1 and I'm confident he's not BSing here. 

Maybe I have a soft spot since someone just did something similar to this for me in another league.

I'm on one side, Jared is on the other.  Let's let Brian make the final call.  I'll PM him.

I dont think he is B'sing either and I love Corey I think he is one of the best GM's in the league.  But my stance is we are limited to 5 bids. Any teams (including myself) are sometimes juggling bids by looking at who do I need to bid up to keep it active next... For myself, I look at the bottom of the list and work my way up.  I actually wont normally bid a guy up if he is within 3-4 hours of finishing unless I really want him and willing to put more that a 200k up bid..

If it was within a few hours I would be fine with it,  but the bid wasnt corrected for 19hrs....that really skews the bidding process/time clock/time stamp..

[-BA-]

I would side with Snug in this one, I do believe it was an honest mistake but since it was a full day later I think the biddin should continue.

[Rob]

Sorry Corey.  I believe Drew has the active bid.  I will fix the thread.

Thanks guys.
