Mini Auctions
The SSPA's official Free Agents List will be produced 24 hours prior to the auction. Only players on this list will be up for sale.
The auction is split in to two separate parts; firstly the blind bids are opened, then live bids follow until everyone is fed up of buying players.
Blind bids can not be out bid at the auction by a live bid.
Blind bids can be sent by email or written down.
The latest time for emailed bids on the day of the auction is 6.00pm. Any emailed bids received after this time will be void because the Chairman will be in the pub.
Blind bids can be brought along to the auction and can be written out and handed in at any time up until 8.00pm.
Second and third choices can be added to a blind bid in case the first bid fails.
If the manager is not going to be present at the auction, each player to be discarded for each player purchased must be included on the blind bid.
Bids must be in increments of £250K. FREE bids are allowed.
In the case of equal highest bids, the team placed lowest in the league will be successful in purchasing the player.
Discarded players are available for purchase when the live bids commence.
Players purchased on the night can not be released until the next auction unless it is to another SSPA club.
Managers must take responsibility for their own budgets.
Mistakes will be rectified when the transfers are processed, usually the following day.
Too many players from one club: Must release last player bought from that club.
Exceeded budget: Must release player that caused the manager to go over their budget.
Other Transfer Issues
When a player transfers out of the Premiership (e.g. to Spain or Accrington Stanley):
- The manager has the original purchase amount refunded to their account.
- This amount is available to use at a mini auction provided the departed player is discarded during the auction.
- All managers will be informed of the addition to the managers' budget.
When a player transfers from one Premiership club to another:
- The player is transferred out and then back in again to change the club identity of the player (Fantasy League do not do this automatically, because they are silly).
- If the SSPA team already has two players from that club then the player is not moved. However the manager must, on their next transaction, transfer out one of the three players from that Premiership club.
Transfer deals between SSPA managers can take place at any time provided the Chairman is informed of the deal. The only exclusions to this are at the main auction and within 24 hours of the start of a mini auction.
They can take place during the live bids part of the auction.
Only the SSPA Chairman is allowed to process player transfers.
The transfer deadline for all transfers is at the end of the March.
