13-14' $25 Entry Auction Draft

[TRAWP]

This year on Yahoo Fantasy Basketball they're running an Auction style draft. I gave a mock draft a go last night and it works beautifully. A lot more strategic that a snake draft and a lot fairer as well. You start the draft with $200 and bid on players, players like LeBron and Durant go for around $70 so if you want them you need to take the rest of your team at a good discount.

$25 buyin with 8 player slots. 1st prize $175 and 2nd prize $25 (Entry fee returned)

Is this using the Pro Leagues section of Yahoo?

 

[TRAWP]

Is this using the Pro Leagues section of Yahoo?

No this will be just using the normal Yahoo Basketball, I believe you got to pay for the Pro Leagues section correct?

 

[Gus Poyet]

Yeah ya do. You might want to psot this in the punting board section if you don't get any interest from basketball fans. Most won't want to play for money probably.

 

[TRAWP]

Fair enough, thought it might have added some more prestige to it.

 

[Gus Poyet]

haha well people are tight arses. If they can get something for free they'll take that option first.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

I'm possibly interested.

 

[Gus Poyet]

Perhaps make it a no entry fee then when they are all signed up suggest a monetary element.

 

[TRAWP]

Well if people want to make no entry free, state your interest in this thread and we'll go from there.

 

[deeman87]

could be keen money or not, not really fussed either way

 

[Gus Poyet]

Well that's half the league filled. 4 more to go.

 

[Moo]

Count me in.

 

[Octavia]

count me in

 

[Theseventhhamster]

I'm only in if Moo isn't.

 

[Moo]

I'm only in if Moo isn't.

I'm out then.

On an related note my friend Noo will take my place

 

[Gus Poyet]

One more player required then and it's a Goo.

 

[Cameron_K]

I'll give it a whirl.

 

[Gus Poyet]

TRAWP

Might have enough people now. Do ya thing.

 

[TRAWP]

Making it now.

 

[TRAWP]

I believe we're still one player short. I've set the draft for next week, I'll PM you into a convo so we can setup times and how to put in the funds.

 

[Moo]

I'm possibly interested.

Check messages mate

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Seems things escalated a bit in my absence.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Someone else can take my spot if you want to get this thing running.

 

[TRAWP]

Hey Hamster, sorry you missed out and all. I made a decision that next Sunday wasnt going to be good and I wasnt going to take the chance on two Sundays time with only one person missing. If this one works as its supposed to, next year we'll at least have it setup and ready for this original group.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

No probs.
