whooligun Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 My 5 year league is entertaining the thought of changing from a draft pick/keeper league, to an auction/salary cap league. The problem is with the teams that basically traded this season for extra picks for next year. Its a pretty hefty entry fee, so were all looking for a fair way to make the switch. If we wait until the 2011 season though, then the 2010 season will be a dud, because there will be no draft picks traded. Also, teams that are missing picks for next year, won't be able to improve their teams for the following season either. So basically, teams with extra picks in 2010 get screwed if we do an auction. And teams missing picks get screwed, because unless they have a stellar draft, their 2010 season will be screwed. I'm toying with the idea of having the 1st 3 rounds draft style (using pre-determined auction values), with the remainder of the draft an auction style. Confusing? Has anyone made the switch before? Please help!!! ANY outside point of view would be a tremendous help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 No fair way to do this without doing basically a restart. Another possible option, though I'm sure far from ideal, would be to set player values based on performance after the 2010 season (keep your current draft as is, do auction the following season), ie come up with an appropriate multiplier to apply to points scored for the upcoming season to determine players initial values.

BeeR Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 No fair way to do this without doing basically a restart. Agree. And I bet the ones sitting pretty right now would not be happy about it. What about starting up a new lg with the same people - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whooligun Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Im one of the guys sitting pretty. We've discussed running a 2nd league, but there has to be one solution that can work for everyone. Would running a normal draft for the 1st 3 rounds, then auctioning off the rest be a disaster? That way those teams with extra picks would get the good players, while those who traded away wouldn't. Only problem may be the extremely top heavy salary for those teams with extra picks. Could do an inflated salary for the first year though. Or is it possible to create a league that does 3 rounds of normal draft every year? That would incorporate both picks and auction. Still giving teams opportunity to trade picks. Anyone else have an opinion on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whooligun Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 We might be using a hybrid of 2 styles of draft. 1st 3 rounds every year, serpentine style with picks. Remaining rounds auction style. This gives teams a chance to still deal picks. Draft picks would have a salary cap value, so teams that acquire more picks would have more cap room, whereas teams that deal picks, would have a smaller cap. Anyone see any potential problems with this system??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't know about "problems" but I wouldn't do it if it were me, simply because this hybrid thing is way too "busy" - for me it's either do auction/salary or not. But again that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whooligun Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 So you have any ideas on how to make the switch from one league to the next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
