As soon as I saw 32 franchises I stopped reading. Sorry but too much bitching with that many owners.

| I need to ponder this. The thing I love about auctions is the leveled playing field. I think redrafts should always be auctions for that reason alone. I won't play in a redraft money league without an auction. Dynasty leagues, by their nature not design, almost always end up with uneven playing fields. If you've been holding Tomlinson and negotiated your way into Peterson and found Colston and Romo on waivers a couple years after finding Boldin there while burning a first on Braylon Edwards and picking up Moss while he was in Oakland, the field is pretty stacked in your favor even if you were lucky not smart in the way this all turned out. I prefer Dynasty leagues to be straight redrafts where worst drafts first in every round. An imitation of the NFL's idea to foster parity. I think. I do love auctions. I'll check out that league when I have a clear mind. | |

| Very good pt about picking up guys like Romo and Colston. In my Live Auction League...players picked though the WW are turned back over to the FA Auction in the next yr so everyone gets a shot at them. There some complaints since the league was created, so we all agreed on a rules that this new league has. Managers can retain 1 player acquired in WW for the 2nd round Tender. This league has the same type of rule. I make so u can keep players acquired in WWs... but its a litle expensive. | |

| How this for a rule set for the Initial Auction Initial Auction * The initial auction date will be set once all teams have submitted payment and a date. * Auction will be an online, conducted on the Host Site; MFL * The initial auction will take a long time; please have the ability to check in multiple times a day and please have patience. * Each Franchise will begin the initial year with a $100.00 Salary Cap. (Think of it has a $100M) * A Players' Min Bid is $0.50 (think of it has 500K) and bids will be in an increment of $0.05 (think of it has 50K). * You will be forced to draft all 46 players in the Draft. Players can not be dropped or Traded during the Draft. * Draft Hours will be from 9 am ET too 11 pm ET. No Nomination or Bid can be made after 11 pm ET until 9 am ET. * The Draft will be Ebay Style (Proxy Auction). Once a Player is nominated, they will be on the clock for 2 Days. The Clock will not reset, even if the highest changes. Again, the same way Ebay works. From the MFL Page: Here's a detailed example of how proxy bidding works. Let's assume your league is set up (on the "for commissioners > setup > auction setup" page) with the following parameters: Minimum Opening Bid: $0.50 Minimum Bid Raise: $0.05 Let's assume that Franchise 1 opens bidding on Player A, and the initial bid is $5.00. The system will "remember" the maximum bid of $5.00, and report the initial bid on this player equal to the "Minimum Opening Bid" of $0.50. Then, Franchise 2 submits a bid of $2.00 on Player A. The system recognizes that Franchise 1 was willing to pay up to $5.00 for Player A, so immediately after Franchise 2 submits his $2.00 bid, the system notifies him that he has been outbid, and then considers the high bid on Player A to be $2.00. Then, Franchise 2 submits a bid of $5.00 on Player A. The system recognizes that this bid amount is equal to the maximum bid made by Franchise 1, so the system then considers Franchise 2 to be immediately out-bid (earlier bids always beat later bids of the same amount), but the system then considers the current bid amount for Player A to be $5.00 (the maximum amount that Franchise 1 was willing to bid). In other words, this "proxy" bidding configuration allows a franchise owner to bid only as much as he needs to on any given player, and no more. Commissioner Requests: ** Please begin the draft with only having 2 Players Nominated in the Auction Pool at a time. I do not want to overload the Auction Pool, But I want to keep a constant flow to it as well. So I ask that there be no less than 25 Players in the Auction Pool and no more than 35 Players at a time. I calculated that the Draft will take up to 50 days if everyone follows these Rules This can easily be done if everyone works together and follows some simple rules: *After we have 32 or so Players nominated; Do Not Nominate Anymore Players Unless you win a Player from the Auction Pool or I give an ok to nominate! *If I see managers continuously nominating players when they shouldn't; there will be one warning. If behavior continues I will lock your ability to Nominate players. *Once you win a player, simply place another one back in the pool! *You will have 24 hrs or till 10pm ET the following day to nominate your next player after winning a bid. If you do not nominate a player by that time frame, Commissioner will allow another manager to nominate a player. *If the Player pool falls to 25 or below, Commissioner will allow managers to nominate players until the Auction Pool Builds back up. This will allow the draft to flow smoothly and as quickly as possible. Again, Patience will be the key for this to work smoothly. | |
