he would be in negative points
because of the penalty though
theres a huge problem with that and ill illustrate it here:
Some GM has 30 points to bid with
he bids 16 points on Player A and signs him
-14 remain
he bids 10 points on Player B and signs him
-4 remain
he bids 5 points on Player C
-overbid, spent 31
he loses 5 points bringing him down to 25 total
-now hes over again because hes spend 26 points on players A and B
he loses 10 points bringing him down to 15 total points and cant sign Player B
-now hes over again because he spent 16 points on player A
he loses 15 points bringing him down to 0 total point and cant sign Player A
-in total he lost all of his points because he overbid by 1 point.
That rule would just be ridiculous, as much as I hate to defend harper; you cant be penalized ontop of a penalty.
