Loved the auction format
I just want to throw out there that I loved the format of the most recent auction only allowing 1 bid at a time for each player. It made people really think about what they were doing, and kept one person from being able to crazily bid up prices on multiple horses. Hope to see more of this.

Re: Loved the auction format
It also made it impossible for those who aren't as rich as some to win a horse as an underbid though.
As always there are pros and cons.

8 horses went for under $1M and many many more went for under $2M. I think it was extremely fair to players with lower bankrolls.Dave Trainer wrote: ↑4 years ago It also made it impossible for those who aren't as rich as some to win a horse as an underbid though.

Could also argue that pinhooking makes it harder for those are aren’t rich to have a chance at winning horses.Dave Trainer wrote: ↑4 years ago It also made it impossible for those who aren't as rich as some to win a horse as an underbid though.

I argue both points!

Re: Loved the auction format
I'm not sure that the prices had as much to do with the different format - it may have been due to the fact that this was the third TBS auction in a relatively short period of time. The second auction had 2 high, 2 win and fairly high prices as well.

Re: Loved the auction format
I fondly remember when the SB auctions were awesomely fun from the opening bell. In contrast, the last 2 auctions were painfully boring with very little action except near their completions. By the end of the last auction, I no longer cared about the auction results -- i was just relieved that there would be no more SB yearling auctions this Sim year.

Re: Loved the auction format
Agree! With the possibility of underbids the auctions are way more exciting. I honestly didn’t even realize the auctions had ended until people started posting their pinhooks minutes after.Ronnie Dee wrote: ↑4 years ago I fondly remember when the SB auctions were awesomely fun from the opening bell.

Re: Loved the auction format
I liked the formats! I just forgot about the End date for the last one.

Re: Loved the auction format
I was not a huge fan of the format and much like others I put my bid in and went to sleep .
