Hmm but invalid bids are automatically made valid (even if the bidder does not know it yet like Garfield pointed out).

So if someone already bid 1m, then all bids underneath 1.1m simply do not exist, and as if we were dyslexic for numbers (is there a word for that?) we do not see 1.000.001, but we see 1.1m because that's what it actually should say according to the rules.

So in a way 'invalid bids' do not exist.

alex.buck, you're waaaay over you're budget. Official warning. Stop bidding now.
Let's pray you get overbid on those. Otherwise everything starting with Weening will be illegal.

No, I'm not. I keep an excel file of all my transfers and I'm just under 5M.

I'm afraid you'll need to check that again, your file is wrong.

With my current bids (those that are over 420k split into 2 years) I'm currently spending 4.7M.

No, your official roster shows that you're spending 4.31M already.
Your 4 bids around 200k already take you way beyond 5M.

there is a bid on Rojas, but I think he's one of the Movistar keepers

Moved to Invalid, thanks!

More importantly, Flu & myself agreed that scratching the Weening and Frank bids from alex.buck is the most reasonable think to do. Alex, I hope you'll understand.

[alex.buck]

Yes, that's what's has to happen.

I made a mistake and I also divided my keepers salary into two years, that's why according to my file was still withing the budget.

I'm sorry for creating this mess and as a punishment now it also affects the way I'm going to build my team and I'll barely have 20 riders.

Also my apologies go to pimmen and Geezar who now have to wait some extra hours to get the riders that they should have got if I was more careful with my budget.

[Garfield]

Thanks for the understanding
