Is a player considered drafted after he has been auctioned for 48 hours (meaning the first block of players are finished today at noon), or, when no one has topped the highest bid for 48 hours, meaning a player could be on the auction block for a week if necessary?

I understood...
when no one has topped the highest bid for 48 hours
Refer to...
** How long should a bid stand before the auction on that player closes? **
But I'm not sure...

Only when a player goes 48-hours since the most recent bid does he become property of said team. So, using Datsyuk as an example: The most recent bid on him was on Aug 1st at 12:02am by the Quebec Bulldogs. If no one tops the current bid by Aug 3rd at 12:02am, he becomes property of the Quebec Bulldogs. The 48-hour window is not a static window. It does not run for 48 hours after that player's auction thread is initially unlocked, but instead runs for 48-hours from when the most recent, highest bid was placed.

Now that Daniel Sedin is off the boards will another player open up? I've let Ross know, and he'll unlock the next LW player soon. He will also be adding the next LOCKED LW player.

is there a way we can add more players faster? i'm getting married on the 13th and honeymooning. i already have a list of "target players" for each of my positions, but i won't have internet access through most of the honeymoon. might be a hard sell to her to go somewhere for some internet time to bid on some players... though i'm going to try it. i love my fantasy hockey, you see. between now and the 12th i'll be an active bidder (normally a few times a day), but there's not much for me to bid on right now.

thanks, i really appreciate it.
also, i could send the list of my "highlighted" players who will be coming up in the next few weeks to one of the admins... then maybe we could put off having them bid on until i'm back (aug 21)... not exactly ideal, i know. or i could have a buddy log in and take care of my team for a few days.
i just got my room mate to agree to do that for me... so this should work out okay.

ya that would be great. soo greyhounds dropped 2.99 on a proboards app for his phone so he could do it while afk. i dont know if thats an attractive option for you (dont know where ur honeymoon will be) but thats always something to consider.

Myrtle Beach... small family house there near the beach. should be fun. no internet though, but that could be for the best. some easy chill time, beach time, and some other fun stuff. i grew up going there, so i know the area pretty well. we're going cheap so we can go somewhere a little more tropical/expensive in February when the weather here sucks. maybe a disney cruise or something.

a baby! congrats! disney can be hard on kids (i'm pretty much a disney pro) the secret is to go for a bunch of days and to not try to go for the whole day. that way you can keep a more manageable pace for a kid. and some adults. i get cranky if i'm on my feet all day... feels more like work than a vacation.

i feel like the 48 hour bidding period is too long right now... someone just out bid me really late in the game for ovechkin... really frustrating since he's been online bidding on other players. joined really late just to make sure that i didn't get him.
that said, it makes it easy for my buddy to help me on my honeymoon.
still, frustrating to have someone come in really late just to extend the process.
maybe we need more players available for us to bid on? 10 per position would be nice.
