This is the last time this happened I think: > **[2008 American League Central tie-breaker game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_American_League_Central_tie-breaker_game)** > > The 2008 American League Central tie-breaker game, commonly known as the Blackout Game, was a one-game extension to Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2008 regular season, played between the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins to determine the champion of the American League's (AL) Central Division. It was played at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois, on September 30, 2008. The White Sox won the game, 1–0, on a home run by Jim Thome, the lowest-scoring game in MLB tie-breaker history. The So... If it’s part of the regular season, then game 163 will count for ottoneu. I guess it would extend how late auctions could be started, but we won’t know about game 163 happening until after the end of the auction deadline for the end of the day of game 163 (oh man try and parse that) so it will be effectively moot. Get your auctions started by 11:59pm ET on September 30th is what I’m saying. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.ottoneu.com/t/the-last-day-to-start-auctions-is-2-days-before-11-59pm-et-of-the-last-day-of-the-season/587)._
