Rule 5.13.2 previously stated: 5.13.2 Non-Leading Invalid Bids If a bid is identified to be invalid and has been surpassed in value by a more recent valid leading bid then the auction will continue as if the invalid bid had not occurred. The auction will not be stopped nor have the 24 hour clock re-set, and the existing 24 hour timer will continue to count from the time the current leading bid was placed. Penalties from rule 6.6 will still apply. To reflect the result of this rule vote mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/2583/change-5-13-2 it has been changed to:
5.13.2 Non-Leading Invalid Bids If a bid is identified to be invalid and has been surpassed in value by more recent valid bids by more than one other bidder then the auction will continue as if the invalid bid had not occurred. The auction will not be stopped nor have the 24 hour clock re-set, and the existing 24 hour timer will continue to count from the time the current leading bid was placed. Penalties from rule 6.6 will still apply. If a bid is identified to be invalid and has been surpassed in value by only one other bidder then the commissioner will reinstate the leading bid prior to the invalid bid, and reset the auction clock to 24 hours from the post confirming the voidance to allow rival teams fair opportunity to beat the reinstated leading bid.

Rule 6.4 previously stated:
6.4 Accumulating Stats with Ineligible Players If a player has accumulated stats on the scoring website whilst they are not legitimately on your Proboards roster (including unprotected arbitration eligible players or traded players before a trade has been fully approved) you will be given a loss in any category impacted by ineligible players. If the same player accumulates stats in multiple matchups (whilst continuously being ineligible for the same reason) then losses will only be applied in the first and last matchups where he is identified as having had any impact on any category. For example: if you play an ineligible player in your active lineup for one day and they go 0-1 with a Run (but no HR, RBI or SB) then you will automatically forfeit R and AVG for that matchup. HR, RBI and SB (as well as the pitching categories) will continue to be contested as normal.
