I don't hate this. Bidding will close at the later of the advertised closing time, and 2 mins following the last bid.

Thats not how it works mate. I got Kallis as per the rules. Check the time line again.

I had included Freddie and Ashwin only in case someone bids for them @ last minute. Stphnbdsn bid for Kallis so I just pressed enter. Nobody had placed any bid for Ashwin and Freddie hence the request.

So you made the bids. Can't retract them otherwise you could bid minimum on a player then a really high bid straight away and if nobody outbids you, claim the minimum bid as the winning bid.

Fair enough. I will keep them as per the rules.

Right I'm getting mixed opinions on various issues now. I'm taking responsibility as I didn't set clear enough rules.
I make the following executive decrees.
1) From this point onwards, bidding will end at the advertised time. Bids timed at 2129 are on time. Bids timed at 2130 are late.
2) Any bid received at 2129 will extend the window to 2131 being 'on-time'. This will continue indefinitely until a two minute window expires.
3) Players cannot outbid themselves. If a player who is currently the high-bid makes a higher bid for the same player, his lower bid is effective until such time as the higher bid is necessary.
e.g. I bid £1m, then £2m for the same player. My bid is effectively £1m until such time as anyone bids higher than £1m, at which point my £2m becomes 'active'.
4) For the above reason, I accept kingkallis' application to have the lower bids count.
5) Following the controversy around Jacques Kallis' bidding, all bids on Kallis are hereby cancelled. Kallis will be re-auctioned in a later cycle.
6) All decisions on timing will be made based on the time stamp of the post.

since we are weighing in, i think at the last hour or so before the round ending, one has to bid min $500k above the last bid. its because the zone timing difference its not possible to check at the very last hour so if you want your man then bid more. $100k makes little difference although fine initially
