Need a few experienced guys to fill out an auction league I'm running.
If you're interested, best to PM me, or alternatively just state your interest in this thread.
Basic rules are given below for those who might be interested.
The draft
I.Every team begins the draft with a “budget” (or salary cap) of 50 million. Nice round number.
II.Players will be auctioned off in groups of 6.
III.Groups will consist of players of similar fantasy value, using a “cheat list” off a pre-agreed fantasy site.
IV.If you have the highest bid for a particular player, the amount you submitted is what you’ll pay. So, if you offered 18 million for Kobe, and the next highest bid is 9 million, you will still pay 18m, not 9.5m or 10m (i.e. it’s not E-bay!)
V.An owner cannot successfully bid on more than one player in any group of 6. So, even if you had the highest bid on both Garnett and Nowitzki, if they are in the same group, you will only get one of them – specifically, the player that you bid more for.
VI.If an owner successfully bids on a player in 2 consecutive groups, he must “sit out” the next group.
VII.The minimum bid allowed for any player is half a million.
VIII.Each team will be required to draft 15 players.
IX.Once the draft is completed, owners are allowed to nominated 3 players who they wish to grant “2 year contracts”. These 3 players will be kept for the next season at exactly the same price.
The season
I.Standard 9-category roto scoring, free Yahoo! League.
II.Moves restricted to 20 for the season - It is the commish’s belief that leagues should be won through good drafting and trading, not by being the quickest to pounce on every available free agent.
III.Waiver wire waiting period will be 1 day.
IV.Trades will be made independent of “budget” implications – but note that 2-year contracts will carry over to the off-season.
The off-season
I.Following the end of the season, owners may extend a “qualifying offer” to 3 of their players. This gives them the right to see the highest bid for that particular player in the upcoming draft, and then match if they wish to.
II.Players going into the second year of 2-year contracts are removed from the draft pool, and their “cost” is subtracted from the 50mil budget before the draft.
III.Back to the draft!
