This tool simply organizes everything, provides guidance(especially for new league members) and warnings when time limits have passed or are near, does a lot of math for members and admins so auction rules can be adhered to more easily.
An online league that might want to use this would need to set rules such as:
1. number of bids a team is allowed to place on a particular FA(my league sets it at 3)
2. a % that a counter-bid must add to a previous bid total.(my league sets it at 10% above the previous bid)
3. number of hours a valid bid must stand without being counter-bid, in order to sign that player
At the end, the commissioner only needs to look at the Signed Contracts page, in order to assign FA's in game accordingly, because that list is concise as far as contract details he needs.

Ok, then when signing them in game, do you just edit their 'team' and contract rather than actually make a bid on them? I'm trying to get my arms around what exactly is done to 'sign' them in game.
