Hrqls: Perhaps such a set up could be made an option for the Pond creator? Sooner or later there's going to be option for the starting points and bonus. Seems like having an option to start the round when all have bid would be another one. I recommend having it so that it goes the whole time limit unless every person enters a bid. That way someone that misses getting to the computer that day will have the most time to log in and will still get their last bid to play if they don't make it on time.
