Update to the challenge system, after Bakuryu "stole" the first challenge minutes before closing. Additions in bold

Any player can challenge
An auction starts, once a minimal bid of $50 is placed
Any auction runs seven days in total, starting on the day the first bid was placed
Minimal raise in the auction is 5$
In the last 24 hours of the auction (on the last day) the minimal raise is four times the minimal bid (4 * 5$ = 20$) to avoid another "Bakuryu tactic"
If only one bid was done (Starting bid 50$, one raise to 55$, nothing else), a bidding duell between the first bidder and the second one can take place for 24 hours after the official closing of the auction (again to avoid a one time minimal raise)

Obviously, following the spirit of corruption, the rules are subject to change if you are just grateful enough with ~~bribes~~ donations towards the prize pool.

I ask here because some people might have the same question:
Player A bids 50
Player B bids 55
Player C wants to snipe in the deadline. His next bid has to be minimum: 55+ 5x4= 75 $. Correct?

Second example:
Player A bids 50
Player B bids 70 in the deadline. No further bids.
We have a bidding duel of 24 hours after the deadline is done.
Correct?

Player A bids 50$, Auction Starts, runs seven days
Payer B bids 55$ (let's say Day 2 of the auction)
Player C bids 75$ (on Day 7 of the auction)
-> correct, added dates to stress out the point

However, if player C bids 24 hours 1 minute before the end of the deadline, he can try to snipe with 'only' a $5 raise to 60$

Second example:
Player A bids 50
Player B bids 70 in the deadline. No further bids.
We have a bidding duel of 24 hours after the deadline us done.
Correct?

Yes, but also

Player B bids 55$ on Day 2 (or any other day), no further bids until the deadline runs out

Challenge accepted Nemu. Next possible bid is 55 USD, deadline is on Saturday, 13th July 2019 18 CET. All rules above mentioned apply of course.
If someone outbids you, the winner of the bid earns the right to challenge Oya to a Best of Seven.
Oya can win the bet in order to not play for the title.

Do NOT send any money until the auction is closed and a winner is determind.

Everyone I'm stepping away from the challlenge and broodwar as a whole except occasional fun 2v2. I'm pretty frustrated and dissapointed in remastered and honestly don't want to waste any more of my time trying to play trash games with tr8 on extra high. I will be donating 20$ to the prize pool for my troubles and I wish everyone else good luck!!!

Thats a shame Nemu, we were all looking forward to see you play! Yes RM can be frustrating, but remember:

You don't quit Broodwar, Broodwar quits you! So, im confident to see you soon (;

Nice gesture to donate 20 $ tho.

That being said, i consider your bet canceled:

Bakuryu challenges Madinho. Updates follow. Next challenge can be done.

the challenge was played on Saturday, 14th of July, Madinho won 4-1 over Bakuryu! You can watch the Vod on Vincents or Gorynich twitch.tv.

The second and last challenge against Madinho can thus be made. The starting bet is 50 $ as per usual, bets will be accepted up until 29th of July. Happy bidding!
