Hey guys. I'm making this post to explain to everyone how our pseudo-auction is going to work.

First, a little backstory: for those of you who don't know, an SPL-style tournament like this has the distinctive feature of a pre-game auction for players who signed up. Managers can bid credits on the players they want. Because each manager has a limited number of credits, part of the auction strategy involves preparing both beforehand and on-the-spot for which players should be bidded on and for how much.

However, doing this requires something known as an auction bot, an IRC-based script that allows managers to instantaneously bid on a player, which makes results accurate and speedy (doing so by hand would take extremely long and be prone to mistakes, not to mention extremely hard to track). However, none of us are experienced programmers, and although user Earthworm generously lent me his auction script, I'm not familiar enough with the parameters to tweak it to this tournament just yet. So for now, I came up with an alternate pseudo-auction that will have a similar effect.

The way our pseudo-auction works: Every manager came up with a list of the 52 players they most wanted in order of preference. If there is a user who was highest on one manager's list, that user will go to that manager unless their team is already full (we will go in descending order of preference). If a user is on more than one manager's list at the same level of priority, there will be a randomized coinflip (I was able to get a random number bot to work for me) to decide which manager receives the pick.

As an example: let's say Peef Rimgar is #2 on Expulso's list and #5 on everyone else's. Peef Rimgar automatically goes to Expulso.

This should theoretically make rather fair teams on which managers do have a say and a strategy as to who they want on their team. Although it's not preferable to a proper auction bot, it's the best we can do at the moment and we're doing it for the sake of a speedy, fair, and as-authentic-as-possible experience.

Finally, I just want to say this: don't be disappointed if you are not drafted on a team you wanted to be on. Just like in a real auction, a manager will never be able to get all of the players he or she wishes to have. The opposite is true of the players themselves no matter what auction method is used. This is just one tournament of (hopefully) many, and I advise all of you to get to know the other players on your team and work together regardless of where you were drafted.

Thank you all for reading this!
