During tonight's auction, the auctioneer will establish a bid for each tract in the first round.
The auctioneer will then open second-round bidding, where the bidder(s) will be able to place combination bids of up to the entirety (all 7 tracts.)
At that time a bidder may raise their bid on any individual tract to stay in a winning position.
