2016 Philaflava Auction Baseball League

Post by Philaflava »

This year there will not be as many playoff teams. It will probably be 6 instead of the 8.
Ideally we want 12 teams too.

I'm on the fence about the divisions unless I make it where wins count. No reason an 8th place team with less wins gets in over a team in a tougher division with 15 more wins.

I know I've said this before but we have plenty of time and I want dues in before the draft. The reminders and the chasing has got to stop. If you don't have $25 in your bank to pay for this league, you have bigger issues to worry about and fantasy isn't one of them.

Suggestions to better the league this year?

Min Innings Pitched: 12

I'm torn about this league. I really don't have the time for 3 leagues this year as I've started a non-profit that I'm running in addition to my regular 50-60 work hours on my real job.
But auction draft is the most fun fantasy night of the year. I just know I won't be able to give my team the attention I need to to stay competitive all year.

Pretty much. If there is one league that requires little to no attention it's an auction league. Plus, it's fun to spend money and start with a brand new team each year.

I can't count the number of times I forgot to set my lineups Sunday night though. If there was a longer leeway so that I could set them Monday mornings it would be a different story.

The draft (for now) is 3/29 Tuesday at 10PM est.

We have 6 teams as of now. We really need to get 10 teams total so if you know of anyone, please let me know.

Buy in is just $25. Once we have a complete league I will send out info on payments.We all know Auction drafts are the best kind. You can set your line-up on Monday AM for the week and be done. It's a low maintenance league.
