Sorry, I should have been more clear, and I wasn't asking specifically about this situation. Consider an auction with one lot and the following bids: - Alice: 2 coins - Bob: 1 coin Per Rule 2551, a person's priority is "their position in the list of persons who have bid on the Auction, sorted by the value of their non-withdrawn bids in descending order." This list is [Alice, Bob]. Assuming 0-based indexing (because I can), Alice's priority is 0, and Bob's priority is 1. Also per Rule 2551, "For each lot in the Auction, the winner of that lot is the player with the highest priority on the Auction who has not won any previous lot." Bob has the highest priority (1 vs. 0), so e is the winner the sole lot, despite having a smaller bid. -- Jason Cobb
