Alright! Busboy is the winner and now I'm happy again.

You're right! The final is the first practice.

Riddle me this Batman ...

Why would any of the "practice bids" matter if they end up getting canceled?

Exactly! Start up this thread again 10 days after the bid goes final. Perhaps after the training letter gets updated.

Until then it's just a management tool for running numbers and will be subject to wide swings.

It's now more of a practice for the company than for us.

Always has been.....especially when you get guys messing with their standing bid on the practices just to have some fun with it.

These practice bids should be done away with. If you're not willing to fly it it, don't put it in your standing bid. Simple enough.

If you dont like the practice bids dont look. The practice bids saved me on one occasion when I thought I had made a change to my standing bid but somehow it didnt take. They have also caught software glitches in the commodore 64 the company uses.
