RFA Bidding Extended

[fuz]

A quick reminder - the RFA bidding period will come to a close 24 hours later than a typical year - at 11:59pm monday august 22nd.  However, keep in mind that the latter half of rule 16.2 still pertains:

16.2: RFA bidding will begin following the rookie draft on or about August 1st and closes in three weeks. If any players are still in the bid phase as of the deadline, the RFA bidding period is extended until all players are in the owner match phase. Owners will not be allowed to up their own bid after the deadline.

Remember - bidding is still open past the deadline per rule 16.2.

I thought I understood the wording of this rule, but I was wrong. I thought it meant the deadline was extended until the last player made it into the owner match phase at which point no new RFA bids could be made, even though Owners might still be mulling over their match option. So I thought the RFA bidding process was over at 5:30 this morning when Rashad Penny made it to owner match. 

So when does it end?

Yeah you got right, it ended whenever the Penny bid closed for bids this morning.
