Our league is looking to add 4 new quality owners to our PPR, Auction, Keeper League.

I have commished several leagues since the mid-1990s. This league has been in existence for 5 years and is the best I've ever been associated with. It's fun and challenging.

Last seasons league site: http://www20.myfantasyleague.com/2013/home/34174

Thee Sharktank Fantasy League is a PPR (well 0.25 PPR), Auction-draft, Keeper League.

League fees are $60 per team.

100% payouts (after league maintenance fees $60)
Payouts to 1st place, 2nd, 3rd, Top Scoring Team and Division Winners

Teams roster a total of 25 players (which includes DEF/STs)

This league is a 2 QB starting league with league lineup requirements as follows:

Starting Lineups are minimum: 2 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 2TEs, 2 K, 2 DEF and 3 Flex (Can be RB, WR. TE)
Starting Lineup Maximum by position (15 total): 2 QB, 2-3 RBs, 2-5 WR, 2-4 TEs, 2 K, 2 DEF

Tie-Breaker is one non-starter from roster.

Auction Draft takes place second Saturday in August. Auction is online, live/email style and usually takes a week to complete. All teams have $250 (fake dollars) Auction Budget to build their team with.

This year we are implementing keepers. All returning teams can keep up to 3 players/teams from previous year's squad for last season auction price plus 25%. Any remaining keeper eligible players from the pool will be available for purchase to the new franchises for same prices (up to 3 per team). There will be many quality players available for good prices (Calvin, AJ, AP, Brees, etc.)

With 15 starting positions, this is a high scoring league...

Basic Scoring parameters:

  • TDs: 4 pts each (any league scoring method/position)
  • Passing yards: 0.03 pt /1 yd
  • Combined Rushing Receiving yardage: 0.1 pt/ 1 yd
  • Kicker - FG made and missed points, Extra point made and missed points
  • Defense / Special Teams - Scoring for Sacks Ints, Fum Rec, Safety, Total Rushing/Passing Yards given Up, Total Points given up.
Blind Bidding Free Agent Pickups as Well As First Come First Served every week of the Regular Season

13 Week Regular Season, 3 Week Playoff

Trades approved by the Commissioner through week 10. Waiver through Week 13.

*** NOTE: For the 4 new teams coming in, there will be a short (up to 3 rounds) Keeper Player dispersal draft utilizing the pre-determined auction amounts from the previous years during late July or the first part of August from the available Keeper Pool of players, The available Keeper plyers/teams list will be generated and distributed to the new teams prior to this date, after returning teams have made their keeper selections. Draft position for this Keeper dispersal draft will be predetermined by virtual coin flip.

We are looking for QUALITY owners. If interested, please send me a PM/EMAIL ASAP.

Not looking to expand past ten (10) total teams.

*** IMPORTANT *** PLEASE NOTE: Full league fee payment due July 15th in order to buy into league. If you quit and find another player who will pay their full league fee to take your place prior to the Keeper Dispersal draft, you will receive a full refund. However, if you quit at anytime before or after this date, and fees have been paid, and do not find a replacement, your league fees will not be refunded.

Any questions, let me know. Thanks!

ok, email me at gjschroe@umich.edu with the invite and payment details....I guess the bylaws will need to be updated to reflect 10 teams instead of 9?

Thanks!

Yes, there will have to be some slight modifications. We got stuck with nine last year as someone dropped out during our draft, so we just went with 9.NOTE: For the 4 new teams coming in, there will be a short (up to 3 rounds) 4-team dispersal draft utilizing the auction amounts from the previous years during the first weekend in August from the available Keeper Pool of players after returning teams have made their keeper selections. The amounts paid for the players will taken out of each teams $250 Auction budget.

Draft position for this draft will be predetermined by virtual coin flip.

a bit about our auction...

Our Auction Draft starts on Saturday August 9th. Auctions can begin at 8 AM that day. Everyone will initially place a combination of 5 players or defensive teams into the Auction. Each player is in the Auction for a total of 12 hours. Teams can bid up that player in increments of $.50. If the player/team's bid has increased, the 12-hour time clock starts over. Once the 12-hour time clock elapses on that player/team, the team with the high bid get them. You continue this until each team reaches their 25 roster limit. Each subsequent day of the draft, each team will enter 5 more players (or a defense if they'd like) into the Auction Pool.

The nice thing about MFL.com is the system tracks everything for you, available money, number of bids you have out, remaining number of roster spots to fill, etc.

The one thing this does involve is the need to have internet access throughout the Auction Draft period, so you can stay up to snuff with what is happening on bids. Typically the auction takes about a week to complete, just depends on how many times an owner sneaks in at the 11th hour and bids up a particular player. You have until the time clock for that player runs out to bid them up. Happens a lot. That is the fun/frustrating part...

 
One other thing...we aren't huge on a lot of smack talk in this league, we just play. It is a pretty serious league, for the money. But most guys don't get into all the chatter..

 
I'd like to join your league. I've been playing this fantasy game for 25 years and in one keeper league for over 20 of those yrs. One of my other leagues is auction/contract style(7 yrs). Please send invite to hardtellin@gmail.com.
