Yes.
Auction goes like this:
Each of us has $260 in fake money, and a list of 21 players to fill (the full roster, 9 hitters 7 pitchers plus 5 bench players of any variety). All 21 spots must be filled by the end of the auction, at a whole dollar price of at least $1; so you are limited in your bid by the number of players left to be selected for your team.
The process:
In (random) order, each owner selects one player to put up to bid (any player not yet selected), and names the name, position, team, and an initial bid (of at least $1). After each player is selected, other players may put forth bids in whole dollar amounts greater than the previous bid made. In Gtalk, we'll use the name that appears earlier on my screen if there is a tie not involving me; if a tie involves me we will use someone else's screen.
After a reasonable amount of time (5 seconds) with no bids, the bidding is considered complete and the last valid high bid wins the player. There are no restrictions on how you spend your money, or how high any one player is bid, other than that you must conserve at least enough money to purchase, at $1 each, any players remaining that you are required to purchase.
After a player is auctioned off, the next person in order will nominate a player, and set an opening bid, and continue until all owners have complete 21 player teams.
The Commissioner (me) will maintain a list of all taken players, and ensure no player is nominated twice.
Each owner will have 30 seconds after the conclusion of the last auction to nominate a new player. After 30 seconds the commissioner will warn the offending owner that they need to make a selection. Selections may be made for players similar to a BAPAY if they are unable to make a selection in a reasonable amount of time.
At any point in the draft you may choose to drop a player from your team. You do not get a refund of any money you bid on the player, and he goes back into the pool to be bid on again. Typically this only occurs in the very late auction if you missed a good player that is now going for next to nothing and you have a few dollars left with a complete team.
At the end, the leftover money is used to determine the waiver wire order. (In other leagues typically the money left over is used to place waiver claims, but that's too complicated so we'll just use it to determine order).
