Adam12 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Starting a keeper league only 1 keeper, with 10 teams, keepers start for 2016 season and you lose the round you keep. We also allow the teams that finish higher up to pick where they draft next season in the snake draft (So you take 1st you get 1st choice of where to pick, 2nd gets 2nd choice and so on). What are some rules that people use for a Keeper League? What are FAs worth? Keeper Deadline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JShady Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 We do the pretty much the exact opposite for draft picks. The worse teams get first choice to allow them to improve. But we also keep 3 players not just one. We can keep players twice before they have to be sent back to the draft pool. So you can use someone for three seasons in a row max. FA pickups cannot be kept. Players take the round they were drafted in the previous season if kept. Players maintain there keeper status through trades so you cant trade someone after keeping them twice. The other owner cant keep them. We have two divisions and the top 5 teams from last season are in one and the bottom 5 in the other. Divison winners are awarded top seeds.

stevegrab Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Our keeper rules are simple, we keep 5, no limits so the guy that drafted Peyton or Brady could keep them every year. FAs, traded players, anybody can be kept. The deadline to declare keepers has always been one week before the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam12 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Good input guys. I think we are going to find a rule for FA to have a draft value somehow. Maybe like if in top 10 for their position then a 10th or 12th round, still rewarded for finding them but yet have to give up at least something for them. We are also only allowed keeping them twice, for a max of 3 years, keeps the draft fresh. I was thinking of having our "Lottery" in late July/Early August then have the keeper deadline about August 22-25 somewhere, and then draft Aug. 27-Sep. 5th. Can't have lottery after keepers are announced, wouldn't be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
