CarryTheRock Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'm in a group that is going to be setting up a Auction/ Keeper league. I have done a keeper before but not an auction. I was looking through to see if there were any old articles on the Huddle on this and didn't find anything. Any tips you guys can give in doing this?

CarryTheRock Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Thanks! I tried www.myfantasyauctioneer.com and got a "this page cannot be displayed." Anybody have a league I could have a look at the rulebook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) I HIGHLY recommend fantasy auctioneer over ANY other type of online auction, including MFL. We used fantasy auctioneer in both of my salary cap auction leagues last year. Edited January 29, 2007 by Grits and Shins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryTheRock Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don't know if I can talk the guys into shelling out extra cash. what makes that stand out over the one on MFL? the one on MFL seems to be workable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locness_Monster Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) We have been using that format for about 16 years now. Here's our format. 12 Teams 3 Divisions (4 teams per Division) 14 roster spots (IMO, it should be 12 or 13) $150 Salary Draft/Auction is done live with all owners present or communicating via conference phone or representative. Keepers are allowed from year to year, but the keeper's salary increases by $5. So, for example: Carson Palmer was $19 in 2006 in our league, if he's kept the owner will pay $24 for him. Otherwise, he can throw Palmer back into the draft/auction pool. We used to have a franchise tag (keeper whose salary does not increase), but we voted it out of the league about 3 years ago. Free agent pickups are $1. FAs are only allowed if you have a spot open up via injury. Injury means "OUT" or "DOUBTFUL." "QUESTIONABLE" or "PROBABLE" does not warrant a spot on the IR. FA requests are put in starting Monday 10 AM PST through Wednesday 10 PM PST. FA pickups (and subsequent drops) are announced Thursday 10 AM PST. If a player is being requested by multiple teams, then the teams' names are put in a hat, and drawings are done 10 PM PST Thursday night. FA pick ups are allowed until 9:55 AM PST Sunday morning. 3 Division Winners go to the playoffs. 1 Wild Card. #1 overall record vs. #4, #2 vs. #3.

I was curious what people did for raising the $$ of keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks. I was curious what people did for raising the $$ of keepers. We have contracts that are 1, 2, and 3 years in length. If you give a contract of 1 year to a player, his contract goes up 15 percent 2 year deals are 10 percent and 3 year deals the contract will go up 5 percent of the total cap. If you cut a player under contract, you pay 33 percent of his contract for the duration of the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
