Things to Keep in Mind When Planning Your Auction Strategy

• Courses are a bargain in Rounds 1 and 10. Avoid buying in over-priced middle rounds.
• Only a few courses/professors require a significant point investment. Budget for these courses. 
• Keep in mind that your classmates have a variety of point balances entering the auction
