How do we find out next lowest bid?  And  please remind me: how to establish 
a FAAB's salary when (i) only one team bids  on a guy, and (ii) more than one 
time bids on a guy?  Thanks!

Brad:
 
  Excellent questions!  Since you are holding your breath and  refusing to 
make any trades, it appears you have used the time wisely to study  up on our 
rules.  But, I digress....
 
  Answers:
 
Q.  How do I find the next lowest bid?
 
A.  On the league home page, on the left-hand side, look for the  "Manage My 
Team" heading, and underneath it, and click on "evaluator  results."  This 
will show the ranking of the bids for each player.   For example, this week, two 
teams bid for Matt Kata.  Both teams bid $10,  but the lower team in the 
standings was awarded the player (see the "rank"  indicator on the left).  In cases 
where both team do not bid the same  amount, the second ranked bid amount is 
the next highest bid.
 
Q.  How do you establish the FAAB salary?
 
A.  Brad, surely you jest...we did this all last year!  If only  one team 
bids on a player, the salary of the acquired player is $5.  If  more than one 
team bids on a player, the salary is $1 more than the second  highest bid.  For 
example, if we both bid on a player, but Brad bids $50  and I bid $7, Brad gets 
the player for $8.
