New draft style idea (1 Viewer)

I am looking for 10 owners to try this idea out with. Since I am not 100% sure how this will pan out...this will be a free redraft league and it will be offense only. It will have PPR, because I prefer PPR. I will not have my own team, because I want to concentrate on managing the draft. This is a slow style draft geared toward those who don't have a lot of time each day to make selections and is perfect for those who don't like to predraft much. I do want active owners, but this is for those that can't check drafts at work or those who simply can't check in every 5 minutes. Anyway enough preluding...here are the details.

First off there is no draft order per se. Round 1 (I am looking at 15-16 total) will start by everyone submitting a draft list of their top 10 players along with a dice roll (probably will use Ironygames for the dice roll). Once everyone has made their submissions, I will process them. To process them I will first look at a teams first choice, if nobody else has that player ranked #1..then the owner gets him. If other teams have the same player ranked #1, then the highest dice roll gets the player. I will work my way down the teams and draft lists till each team is assigned a player. Then I will post/email results and the owners can plan for round 2.

Now things change up a bit, because simply repeating round 1 would not make the league as fair as I want it to be. The higher (according to your list) ranked the player you got is, the greater your handicap for the next round. What this means is let's say an owner who got their 3rd choice in round 1 has the same guy ranked as the guy who got their 7th choice in round 1. The guy who got their 7th choice would then get the player. I feel this will help even out the league, plus it will allow teams to submit less players each round. I will post how many players each team must submit for the next round with each rounds results. Also a dice roll will not necessarily be need ever time.

This process will continue till the draft is done. This draft will take a bit longer than a normal draft, but it will do a round a day....guaranteed.

Of course their may be times an owner fails to submit a list, because these things happen. If that happens then I will assign aplayer to that team after all other selections have been processed (remember I do not have a team) and that owner will be considered as getting their last selection in the round.

Anyway that is how the drafting will work...for line-up I am wanting to go small because things are new....qb,rb,wr,wr,te, flex,td,pk for the starters. Scoring will be standard PPR scoring. I usually like to do unique things with my leagues, but for this one I want things simple.

So there it is....interested???

This will be interesting, will also be nice to see roughly when owners start getting their top choices. It will be lots of fun....so come and sign up. Of course I will answer any questions you may have as well.

 
We have 8 now and are going foward with the league....with that said we would like to get more owners. Our draft will start Monday.
