RealGM

Hey guys. i made a fantasy league and just wondering if any of u guys want to join. I want it to be a toronto only realgm league because i am pretty sure u guys r the people who wouldn't quit halfway. here ths link if u guys are interested: http://y.ahoo.it/6kvQUaIs if u guys have any preferences for the league or need to change the draft day or anything, msg me and i am open to suggestions

auction draft and im in. standard drafts are boring and not the fairest.

I'm game for this what are the rules? I've only ever played sporting news salary cap style fantasy.

don't mean to steal any players from you.
But i've ran a 3 year keeper with 16 teams, but many may not renew this year. I'll be creating a new league this year.

16 players, auction draft. keeper style league. if anyones interested send me a pm. Or if the OP is interested we can combine and create a great league.

EDIT:
suggestions for OP - below are the rules i used last year. Going forward i would make a few tweaks though.

auction draft - everyone has an equal shot at every player. bid it out, and create a time within your budget.
Hands down the best way to start a league.

keeper cost increase - at the end of the year, the value of each keeper increased by a certain %. this prevented a team from locking up 1 player for many years.

Keeper Rules
Maximum of 4 keepers
The $ amount they were purchased for, will be increased by 10% and that
amount deducted off of your cap. For example i got Melo for 63, if i want to
keep him he will cost $69. Players that were free agents are assigned a value of $5
Minimum keeper value is set to $10 (with the exception of free agents who were
picked up)

Prize for top teams.
1st place = up to 5 keepers and a 5% increase on a maximum of 3 keepers
2nd place = up to 5 keepers and a 5% increase on a maximum of 2 keepers
3rd place = up to 5 keepers and a 5% increase on 1 keeper

I never played a keeper league, can someone fill me in?

yeah i am down to combine the leagues pm me the details and send me a link or something.

btw a keeper league is the same as a fantasy league upset each year, we can pass down like 3-4 players down the next year. so if we draft lebron/durant, you automatically have him for the next year

Edit: just read your details right now and that sounds good. u wnanna add it onto my league cause i already got 6 ppl

at the end of the season you retain a certain # of players from your roster. The remaining players are placed back into the next years draft.

every team starts with a certain amount of dollars. for example you have $200 each to fill you X roster spots.

you take turns nominating a player, and then theres an auction for them. you can big how much $ to spend, highest bid wins.

for ex. you could bid $100 of your 200 on lbj, and then try to spend your remaining 100 to make up the rest of the roster.

gives every team an equal shot at every player. And depending on how much you want him , you can get into a bidding war. you also see different styles of teams, some teams are top heavy, some more balanced.
