kutulu 1,552 Posted July 11, 2008 $79.95 per league if ordered by July 31, 2008 If we can get 12 people paid up, this looks like a nice site to run it. So 50 bucks plus $79.95/12 = $6.66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stick 2 Posted July 11, 2008 The site is pretty much managed by itself, not much work involved as commish past initial setup. I would rather NOT be commish but I can CERTAINLY help whoever does get it going till its 95% self managed. Its the best site for dynasty I have seen hands down. ~STICK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yostevo 0 Posted July 11, 2008 im just worried about the draft. it's not fair in a dynasty league to just have random picks from hat. Here's something I've used before. We can randomize the entire draft, round by round, or every other round. It could be fair under these circumstances. http://www.profantasysports.com/draft_randomizer/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usurpers26 26 Posted July 11, 2008 MFL is the only site when doing a dynasty league. I am in 3 on there, commish one. Only mistake is not doing an auction draft for a startup dynasty (you don't need to maintain salary caps either) - I know it takes more effort and time. But a snake draft is a joke. So the lucky guy who gets 1.1 gets ADP for the next 6-7 years - that's bush league. You can also setup a live auction via fantasyauctioneer.com and import the results into your MFL league. Don't remember but I think the auction costs like $50 as well. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,592 Posted July 11, 2008 I agree...got to figure out a way to do an auction, IMO. Right. How about this. Do an auction for drafting spot? has to be real money though. 1st pick in the draft, highest bidder gets the 1st pick, must pay for it. do that for the 1st 2 rounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usurpers26 26 Posted July 11, 2008 Another tip- if you dont want to spend the extra coin to do a live auciton on fantasyauctioneer.com You can do an auction draft via MFL - however it is not live. The lowest you can set the clock is to 1 day. Then you have a few other options for the clock, like "reset the timer when high bid changes" or "reset the clock when high bidder changes" or "ebay style, this shat ends in 1 day, no clock resetting". I have one league up there now - we started out draft on June 1st, 24 players, 3 day auction timer that resets when the high bid changes - and we are on pace to finish the draft by the end of this month.

gocolts 300 Posted July 11, 2008 I don't know how this action draft stuff works. I will try and figure this stuff out if that is what is decided but just wanted you guys to know that while a 10 year FF veteran and have won my main league 50% of the time and current back to back champ, I could suck bad in an auction league.

stick 2 Posted July 11, 2008 Hrmmmm... all this talk of auctions and frafts..... I dunno. This auction stuff maybe way more time/thought than I want to put into frafting a team. Just gimme the SNAKE baby!! I tend to agree, snake is easier on many levels. Also with a snake draft even if your team isnt as good INITIALLY then you can make up for it from trades, free agency priority for worst records, and future rookie drafts based on your end of the year ranking. In my experiences the most talented FF minds rise to the top by the end of year one anyways. Just my take. ~STICK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may not get the #1 player on the board in year #1 but good managers will always eventually rise to the top. Besides, if AP blew out his knee the day after we did the draft, would we have a do over? If fantasy is meant to mimic owning an NFL team, then the luck of the draw is part of the deal.

kutulu 1,552 Posted July 11, 2008 If it wasn't dynasty, I would agree to do a snake draft. If you guys really want to do a snake, then I would suggest instead of a true dynasty, do a keeper league say between 2-5 players. Also, a auction draft essential turns into a regular draft in the second half as people start running low on cap dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usurpers26 26 Posted July 11, 2008 Yikes, the important draft is your initial draft in a dynasty (30 rounds?) If you then proceed to reverse the order for your 3,4,5 round rookie/fa draft the following year? That's even less fair for the crap teams - they need the high pick to have any chance of sustaining. Like I said before, just some advice to think about - the worst thing in a dynasty is high ownership turnover year after year... How about this. We do a snake draft, luck of the draw. But next years draft goes in reverse order, no matter what the finish. then the 3rd year we can draft be where we finish>? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stick 2 Posted July 11, 2008 Whats the big problem? All this "my chance of winning is lower if I dont get the #1 pick" crap is a bunch of liberal whining. Sounds to similar to "because I come from a poor black community and was raised by a single mother I deserve more welfare" for me to handle right now. This is a LONG TERM FF DYNASTY LEAGUE. Bad, unfair ###### is GOING to happen. Those willing to sow more seed and spend time harvesting and working his team will reap what they sow. This is America 101 folks. Keep up the good honest fight and you will rise to the top. Snake FTW. ~STICK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usurpers26 26 Posted July 11, 2008 If all of you who do this league have never done an auction draft - that makes it even more entertaining (and fair). Although, you will never want to do a snake draft again I'm happy with a snake draft but would prefer an auction draft. I've never done one and they always looked like fun, but whatever works...
