Once the player is clicked on, the coordinator will enter the initial bid and click on the "Submit Bid" icon.
The computer will then announce the players name, the owner who brought the player up for auction, and the initial bid amount.
All owners whose teams are not full and have enough money can bid.
When a FAT pushbutton is pressed, the computer will display the bidder's name and amount.
The preset clock will begin to count down.
If a player chooses to bid, they will press their pushbutton and the bid will increase
by a pre-determined amount entered on the setup screen.
If they hold their button down, the bid will continue to increase until the pushbutton is released.
During this time, all other owners pushbuttons are locked out.
As owners bid, the clock resets itself and starts the countdown all over.
The auction will eventually stop as no more bidding is taking place and the countdown timer reaches zero.
