Why do you think that I ain't relaxed?

I wrote it in the bidding topic, because Pro-Cycling kept on bidding there and I didn't think he would read the message here, before it was too late.

Since his budget is only 1,6 million (5 riders of his team have a wage of 3,4 million), I thought he was over his budget.
Van Avermaet 610K
Farrar 850K
Martin 650K
Izagirre 100K
Van Garderen 350K
Total 2560K = 2,56 million

What I didn't realise is that Van Avermaet, Farrar and Martin could be divided by 2 seasons.
That would leave:
Van Avermaet 310K
Van Garderen 350K (Can't be divided)
Farrar 430K
Izagirre 100K (can't be divided)
Martin 330K
Total 1520 = 1,52 million

so he would have spend 4,92 million in total.
so sorry for the miscalculation, but I still think I needed to say this, because he would have had only 10 cyclists now and no budget left. So you could say I was right.

But I was trying to help, but that doesn't seem to be relaxe 
I will leave that to the admins to solve then.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you raising the red flag, I can't see everything on my own. Still, remember not to comment in the bidding threads.

PS
Van Garderen can be divided to 2x210k, but now I understand it's not clear to everybody since not explicitly stated in the rules. Will create an example there right away!

So did we ever decide how many guys we need on a team for a minimum?

Question back on Van Garderen.
The bid was 350K, that you may not divide, or am I wrong there?
The bid has to be 420K or more before you may divide. You can not raise it for them, so it would be better for them, that is there own business/fault isn't it?

This is a serious question.

Question back on Van Garderen.

Rules clarified. Please check if it's clear from them now that you're free to do what I described above.

sorry, me again 
I don't make the rules, but I disagree with the latest update.
If for example managerA bids 350K on Van Garderen, then it is not up to an admin to raise the bid for ManagerA to 420K, so it fits in the budget of manager A.
That should be the responsibillity of managerA himself....... well at least in my eyes it does.

If the bid would take the manager over his budget, then the bid should not be counted and the manager would receive a warning (for instance, 2 warnings results in no bids for a week or 3 days).

I realise it is hard to check everything now, because the game has just started and everyone is bidding and you can't be here 24/7.

This rule wasn't created yesterday. It's just that your lack of understand made me read it again, realize it was ambiguous indeed, and change the wording so that everybody understands.

If somebody makes a bid, that's the minimum amount of money he's willing to pay. He can pay 10x more if he so wishes. Clear?
