Got it. We can't do that starting this year, so I just wanted to give the heads up.

Did you freeze him out on both?

I won him before the final 5
But then returned to up the ante the FF?

Yes
We've officially forbade the freeze out and added it to the rule book at the beginning of the year. But you still have the FF rights. What complicates things is that the bids made by the second team came after they deleted one of their own, meaning both your and his bids that came after the FF are invalid. In theory, you should have Brown at 9 Stars since your bid prior to the FF holds up.

Coolio
I will confirm once everything is settled, however.

No problem, I just want to figure out how everything worked out, and I'll refrain from freezing out from now on
It would.
I mean it’s only slightly confusing coz I did something wrong so it is my fault not yours lol

I think I got a better deal for Talib than the real Broncos.
I feel objectively awful about your situation. What ended up happening was the following. With multiple players, there were two or more bids that were invalid via violations of different rules. In all but one case, the final winning bid was invalid because of the freeze out, but the previous one made by you was invalid because of the deletion penalty. Here's where the ball was inadvertantly dropped, what we didn't even consider until these situations occurred. We built our rules about deleting back on BR, where we couldn't the content of the deleted bids. We had several situations wherein members purposefully deleted bids in order to avoid payment, so we installed a brief timeout so that there was a punishment for the former but also so that it doesn't automatically destroy teams when done by accident. In this instance, a mere warning was definitely the preferred option. But since we had to technically invalidate the bids that followed yours, it would've felt wrong not to invalidate all of the bids that were against the rules. And now that we can see the content of the deleted bids, it's an outdated rule that can, and now has, punished someone for an honest mistake. Please accept our apology on this one.
That Ramik Wilson made my heart jump.
