Live Auction Draft League Needs 3 Owners

Recommended Posts

Hello Folks,

 

I run a total of 31 Fantasy Football leagues and I have an opening in one of my leagues. I actually have openings in a bunch of my total redraft leagues, but I wanted to talk about one of them today. If you don’t find this league to your liking, maybe take a look at my Teams For Sale page located here on my main leagues page: http://www.theultimateownerfantasyfootballleagues.com/

 

The league I want to talk about today is called the Phoenix Live Auction League. As the name states, this league uses a live auction type draft to fill our rosters. The regular league is on the myfantasyleague.com site, but we use the ESPN site to do the live auction draft. The MFL software is just too unreliable to use for this. Our live auction draft usually takes about 2-3 hours to do.

 

During the live auction draft, each team is given $200 to purchase 16 players. All teams must purchase 16 players and come out of the draft with enough players to fill a full starting lineup. All bids are in $1 increments and each team will have to hold the highest bid for 15 seconds to win the player. The next team has 45 seconds to put up a player. NOTE: We use ESPN for the actual live auction, but MFL.com for the regular league site. The ESPN site software is much better for the Live Auction Draft.

 

If you’ve never done a live auction draft, you’re in for quite a treat. It gives you a much better chance to get the players you really want, but you have to be very careful how you spend your money because it’s very easy to buy a couple of high priced players then have to fill out your roster with very cheap players. It’s still one of the most fun leagues I run because of the type of draft we use.

Well, if anyone is interested in taking on a team in this league, please send me an email to LoneWolf1023@aol.com. Please make sure you send me an email and not respond here. While I do check the web site as much as possible, it is usually far better to email me to ensure you get the spot you are looking for.

 

Please remember to put Team For Sale in the subject line and please make sure you mention which league and team you are interested in.

Hey Folks,

 

I still have 2 teams for sale in this league. If you've never done a live auction draft before, you're in for a real treat. You have an opportunity to get a lot of the players you want. It all depends on how much you're willing to pay to have that player. Unlike a regular draft, you don't have to wait until your turn and then take who is left. You have an opportunity to bid on every single player brought up for auction. You won't get them all, but if you have a few top players you really want, or some other players you think will be great, you can bid on them and try to get them. ;)

 

If this league doesn't do it for you, then go to my main leagues site and the Teams For Sale page located at the following web address:

 

http://www.theultimateownerfantasyfootballleagues.com/TeamsForSale.html

 

FYI If you click on the League name, Rules or Scoring links, it will take you to those sections of the league site. The full layout of all the rules is located in the Additional Rules section located at the bottom of the League Bylaws page.

 

Please take a look and if you find something you like, send me an email to LoneWolf1023@aol.com. Please make sure you reference the league and team name you want to take over.

 

Thanks.
