You keep saying its a stupid rule, and we were all too stupid to change it, but really haven't explained your comments, as to WHY you think its stupid. I assumed the intent to the rule was to prevent someone from slipping in a last minute bid the day before a game, in order to pick them up the morning of the game. If not, then what is the point of stopping the clock to begin with?

Maybe its so we can watch the games and not be worried about keeping bids active while watching games? If so, rule still makes sense.

If it was simply to allow us to take off weekends and holidays, without having to sit by a computer and monitor bids, then ok, I can see amending the rule to exclude non weekend/holiday games.

But since this has not come up before, obviously we all have a difference of opinion on just how $%^&ing stupid this rule really is....
