Auction Overtime 6 - FINSHED!

[LongDono]

Awwww 8th out of 8 winning bids. Unless a few different things happen then it's hello team underworld for me.
I am happy I got a bid in the first place, and no matter what happens go team earth! ( until I enter the war in team underworld, then go me! )
Any idea how many more overtimes there might be? O.o

As many as it takes until people stop bidding.  I believe there was only one bid last round, so it should be soon.

[Spiraler]

Can you also include if it will be extended? I want to be prepared to sign up for UW.

how should we know if  it will be extended?
It gets extended if a general bids. Nobody can be sure until it's 0 seconds left from the current overtime.

I think checking todays activity in the different markets is the answer. We'll have at least one more overtime though. There was one more bid today. (truddy02) So welcome to Overtime 6

[Spiraler]

It says so in the general standings and commentary. My computer just won't load it, so I'd like to know on this.

Welcome to Overtime Country.

We should have a rule about what should be done when several consecutive overtimes have only one bid on them
(jk, just ignore me)

Why? That's strictly under the rules and I don't see anything wrong with it. We can go all the way up to overtime 20 if the masters wish to.

23 actually, since the minimum bid was 1, the raise is also 1 and the maximum is 24.

23 actually, since the minimum bid was 1, the raise is also 1 and the maximum is 24.

It only requires one bid per round to create a new overtime, so actually the auction could last for 21 bids * 12 masters (minus 12 initial bids) = 240 rounds. Depends a little on whether or not it's legal to make less than 7 bids in the normal round.

Maximal bid allowed is 24, so the minimal raise would quickly overlap the maximum. 23th round is the final possible round.

If it's overtime #3, the minimum bid is 4. If someone has a bid of 22, they can still be bid on in overtime #3, but it goes to 24, not 26.

It doesn't matter what the "minimum" bid is, people can still be bid on. There are plenty of people in the auction who have a bid of only 1 card. If overtime #4 happens because of a bid on one person, overtime #5 can happen because of a bid on a completely different person. One single bid on a unique person can cause a new overtime. Since there are 240 different possible bids that can happen on different players, then if there are 240 applications there can be 240 unique bids.

So yes, it is possible to have 240 overtimes.
