HAL IS A BIDDER! 

If HAL is forced to draft, we use a Draftomatic based-draft of
available players, with the 12 weakest teams (previous season
records) entered in the draft.  HAL bids on players that he
drafts, with his starting point determined by a die roll (first
through sixth).  HAL bids based on a percentage of remaining
cash on hand.  To keep HAL from bidding too much on mediocre
middle round and worthless late round players, his bids
(expressed as a percentage of remaining cash) need to drop off
very quickly and then level out.  To model this (for anyone '
interested), I used a factor analysis of 28 variables that
happened to be lying around in my computer and got the following
pattern (percent of variance accounted for):

Round       Bid, % of cash      Example:  team with $500
             remaining

    1        20.0                      $100
    2        13.5                        54
    3         9.6                        33
    4         6.4                       etc.
    5         5.1
    6         4.8
    7         4.0
    8         3.4
    9         3.0
   10         2.9
   11         2.7
   12         2.4

   16         1.6
   17         1.4
   18         1.3
