Hi Chad. Thanks for the feedback!
Certainly something we'll look into adding for future years!
Thank you,

I agree. Just had our draft. And the software is set to automatically only let you bid $1 for the initial bidder. I can't bid $2. or even 23. Fortunately i figured out a way to get around it with a higher bid than 2. But a winning $2 bid from the nominating team. I have to always give the winner the player for a $1 and then go to edit and change the bid to $2. Gets really frustrating after 100 picks into the draft.
Please see about fixing this glitch.
Thank you
This is a must-add fix for next year - certain players never start at $1.
I've been using this product for multiple years, but the online version is currently a failure with all the hoop-jumping to make it work. It was easier to work with as a downloadable program.

Please consider adding an option to start a player's nomination at any dollar amount. A common tactic in leagues I am in is to Nominate a Kicker for $2 (because nobody wants to be the guy that bids $3 on a Kicker). OR allow a team to input multiple consecutive bids.
However, the only current amount to Nominate is $1, which makes it impossible for the nominating team to be awarded the player for $2. There are 2 lengthy workarounds that I have found.
#1 is to sell the player for $1, pause the draft, enter the edit menu and scroll to the most recent pick, and modify to $2; OR
#2 manipulate the nominating team to somebody out of order so that the correct team can bid the player for $2, then remember and mainpulate the draft order again to correct it.
A custom nomination box nest to the player nomination box would be a great way to solve this particular issue, and would also make it easier to input winning bids for drafts that input the date after a live bidding round.
