New League Format Question? - Originally received on 07/10/07
Question from: Dave

     Question - Great website. Really good information. I have a question though. I'm starting an 8 team Football Keeper League. It’s a brand new league with no history so we are starting from scratch. I'd like to have an auction draft but not sure how to go about it in the second year. These are a few of my Ideas. What do you guys think?

     2 Keepers First year
     1 RB (Max)
     1 Position Open

     3 Keepers per season after that
     1 RB (Max)
     2 Position Open

     18 Roster spots.
     Starters: 1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1LB, 1DL, 1DB
     Reserves: 1 Defensive player, 7 Position Optional

     Auction Draft: $200 Cap
     144 total players drafted (Year one)
     $1 minimum per player
     Must draft a full roster
     Must draft at least 4 IDP

     2nd Year Keeper Draft Teams will lose the following amounts toward their $200 Salary Cap for each player kept in the 2nd year draft on.
     RB - $50
     WR - $30
     QB - $15
     All Others - $10

     3 Year Max on kept players.
     Traded Keepers must still reenter the draft after the 3rd year from which they were originally drafted.

     Answer - I've have looked at your rules for your new keeper league and they look pretty good. You have an 8 team league which will fit good with your keeper format. It makes it more competitive by having more players available to draft each season.

     Your starting lineups are pretty close to our Extreme Keeper format and has worked well since they started. And it leaves it open for expanding starting rosters in the future. Auction drafts are pretty fair, although frustrating sometimes. And dropping keepers back into the draft the 3rd season I like.

     One thing though with your rules. It will take more time and work for you as commish implementing these rules. Keep that in mind and make sure you can handle the extra work.
