Part 4/8:
Debate has arisen concerning the incidence of radio silence from teams and agents amidst the elimination process. Keeping such information under wraps might be a strategic move to leverage higher bids from competing teams while maintaining the hopes of the fans. A point was made that if teams are eliminated, they likely wouldn’t want to disclose this information publicly, as it could decrease their negotiating power and potentially enable rivals to outbid them without adequately informing their own fanbases.
