Auction Format Question

So we're into our 2nd year as an auction coming up and we ran into a problem at the end of the auction last year (or maybe we're not alone and there's no solution). We have a $200 budget with a roster of 18 players. At the end when a few owners still have $1 max to spend on each player with maybe 4 or 5 to fill out the roster ($5 and 5 spots) we aren't sure how to fairly do this. Does the current guy nominating a player for $1 get to pick 5 guys in a row and then on to the next owner? Do you have the remaining owners enter a serpentine draft to finish it off so they each get a turn? Help please.

There is usually a rule in place that you need to have at least $1 in your bank for each roster spot to be filled out.

 

edit, misread. It may go to a serpentine order when each player has only $1 per slot as his $1 bid can't be raised.

In my local, we pick numbers out of a hat before we begin to determine the order of nominations. The order does not change and is not serpentine. As guys fill out their rosters, they cease nominating. In your case, the remaining owners will stay in turn and nominate players. Because each can only spend $1 on a player, it basically becomes a draft...but NOT serpentine.

We start with 1 player drawn at random to start the first nomination. From there the winner of the bid nominates the next player. This is how we get to a few owners with max $1 per player at the end never relinquishing the nomination and therefore winning his next 4 or 5 players in a row.

OK, so you need to do one of two things...

 

1) Handle your auction the way I described above OR

2) Continue doing it your way and make a rule that when you have owners who are limited to $1 on each player (no bidding allowed), allow them to switch to a draft.
