Auction "Dominator" (1 Viewer)

I'm in a few auction leagues this year where the salary cap and the roster load is different in every league.

Is there a tool out there that will allow you to plug in your leagues Auction Cap and adjust auction values for players accordingly?

i.e.

Auction Values in most magazines are for a 18 player roster with $260.00 dollars in cap.

If there is a league that has 12 roster spots but they use $400.00 dollars in auction cap, is there a tool out there that auto calculates it?

I could do the conversions myself using cross multiplication, but I'm lazy and figuring something like this HAS to exist.

TIA.

You can use the draft dominator
:goodposting: I have used it for two different leagues with different league sizes and caps and it works great! In fact, I was sitting next to our Commish last year at the draft who is also a footballguys member, and he looked over at my screen and said, "I didn't realize the draft dominator could do all that!" (I then shifted and moved my laptop so he could no longer look.)
 
You can certainly use the DD to generate cheatsheets, etc., but I found it a little too bulky to use in a live auction. I tried using it in some mocks, but found I couldn't adequately keep up with both the DD AND be able to bid properly.

I think LIVE auctions might be just a little bit too dynamic for any draft aiding program I know of. You're better off with a simple cheatsheet, IMHO. SLower auctions might be a different story.

I've used DD for my live auction the last 4 years and it works well. Play around with the program and get a good feel for it first so you aren't fumbling with the different features during the auction and all should go smoothly.

Nice! :kicksrock:
Best part part of using dominator for auctions is if you plan ahead and set up the view right you can look at players available cap space left and keep one step ahead of everyone else on one screen instead of using pad of paper and magazines i just usually devote a couple mins a day putting notes that i would dig thru to find in a mag in the notes section.Two years ago was the first year i used the dominator in the 3 leagues im in and i won two of them and took second in another thanks to the dominator and its ability to keep me one step ahead of the competition!
