I've started an ESPN Auction Keeper League and would like to welcome my fellow Hangouters to the league first. The league is called "the Ravens Nest" and will have 16 teams in it. There will be 2 divisions (8 AFC/8 NFC) in which depending on the division, please take an actual team name from the list.
The overview of the auction format is such...
http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/content?page=fflrulesauctionoverview2008
Basically, each owner will have the chance to nominate someone for the auction and everyone can chime in for that player. After 30 seconds of no bids, the player is awarded to the highest bidder. Be careful though, because you have to save at least $1 for the other slots if you pay a lot for each player.
Here are the roster/scoring breakdowns...
Roster...
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Offensive Flex (QB/RB/WR/TE), 1 DL, 1 DB, 1 Defensive Flex (DL/DB), 1 Team Defense/ST, 1 K, 7 bench spots, 2 IR spots (not just for IR players - also for players considered questionable/doubtful).
Scoring...
Passing Yards = 25 yds/point
TD Pass = 4 points
Interception = -2
2 point Conversion = 2
Rushing Yards = 10 yds/point
Rushing TDs = 6 points
2 point Conversion = 2
Receiving Yards = 10 yrds/point
Receiving TD = 6 points
2 point Conversion = 2
Fumble Recovered for TD = 6
Kickoff Return for TD = 6
Punt Return for TD = 6
Fumble Lost = -2.5
FG Made (0-39) = 3
FG Made (40-49) = 4
FG Made (50+) = 5
PAT Made = 1
IDP...
Interceptions = 4
Safety = 2
Fumble Forced = 2
Solo Tackle = 1
Assist Tackle = 0.5
Sack = 4
Fumble Recovered = 4
Team Defense/ST...
0 points allowed = 10
2-6 allowed = 7
7-13 allowed = 4
14-17 allowed = 1
Blocked Punt/FG for TD = 6
Fumble Recovered = 2
Safety = 2
Interception = 2
Blocked Punt, PAT, FG = 2
Sack = 1
Kickoff Return TD = 6
Interception Return TD = 6
Punt Return TD = 6
Fumble Return TD = 6
22-27 points allowed = -1
28-34 points allowed = -4
35-45 points allowed = -7
46+ points allowed = -10
Also, there will be a keeper aspect and a stipulation on keeper players based on how much they cost in the original auction. For instance... if Tomlinson goes for $60, his keeper cost the following year will be $30. That cost will be reflected in what ESPN calls "auction keeper salaries" that will be entered the following season. I will say that you have to keep at least 3, but no more then 5 players from the previous season.
Interested? PM me or post here and I'll send you an invite. I haven't set a date and time for the live auction, but I want as many there as possible. I want to hold the draft sometime in August (as close to the start of the season as possible). The draft could take 2-3 hours, so be prepared to be involved for a while.
