Hey Everyone,
I am entertaining the idea of starting a decently high stakes dynasty league. I have a few people already in and seeing if anybody here would be interested if I go ahead with it. Shooting for 10-12 managers. We would start a slow draft after the NFL draft. Below are what the rules would most likely be. Let me know if interested! MUST BE ACTIVE!
General Rules
- Amount of Teams - 10
- Entry Fee - $300
- Teams must pay $100 of second year’s entry upfront (due before season)
- Payouts - 1st ($1350), 2nd ($600), 3rd ($350)
- Weekly High Score - $40 (totaling $520)
- Most points scored during the regular season - $60 (totaling $60)
- 1st and 2nd seeds receive $20 (totaling $40)
- All playoff winners receive $20 (excluding championship) - totaling $80
- Playoffs (Weeks 14-16) - 6 teams (1st and 2nd seeds receive byes)
- Tiebreaker is points scored.
- Any potential rule changes must pass a vote of 75%.
Roster
- Starting Lineup Positions: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 3 FLEX, 2 IR, 16 Bench, 6 Taxi Squad
- Taxi Squad: Teams can have a maximum of 6 taxi squad players. Players may remain on taxi squad for 2 seasons. If a player is called up from the taxi squad to active roster, they are not able to be sent back down. Players with 2 or fewer years of NFL experience are taxi squad eligible. Players entering their 3rd year of eligibility must be activated to roster or dropped.
Draft
- Year One: 28 round snake draft, including rookies. Draft will begin Sunday April 28th, 2019
- Year Two and Beyond: 4 round rookie/free agent draft. The draft order will be determined based on the reverse order of standings. This will NOT be a snake draft (1.01 pick will pick 2.01 and 3.01)
- Year One draft order determined by March Madness standings. First place receives choice of pick, second place receives second choice of pick, etc.
- Rookie draft order: 4 non playoff teams enter draft lottery. Tiebreaker is points against.
- 10th place - 40% odds of 1st overall
- 9th place - 30% odds
- 8th place - 20% odds
- 7th place - 10% odds
Lineups
- Lineup changes: Lock at scheduled game-time
- No transaction limit
- Waiver system: Free Agent Auction Budget (runs on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday)
- Teams will start with a $100 budget. $0 bids are allowed. Teams receive a $100 budget in the offseason and resets back to $100 when the regular season starts.
- FAAB Tiebreaker: resets each week to inverse order of standings
- Trade deadline: Saturday night of Week 9
- Trading will open back up after Week 16
- All teams must field an active lineup each week
- If you do not field an active lineup, you are automatically placed into the worst pick of all non-playoff teams
