Example of FA process.

Team A makes Coach 1 a Minor offer for 750k. Team B takes lead with a Minor Bid of 900K for the coach. Team A regains lead with 1.05M bill (still 150k increment) for Minor Coach. Team C comes into the bidding with $1.25M (bid is now at least 200k increments) for PRO coach. At this point, the next bid must be: a) at least 1.45M and B) must a pro offer.
