New slow auction league - h2h PPR ESPN $130 - FULL (1 Viewer)

[Alleyoop]

I've run a league (UFL) for about 20 years. The rules are fairly standard (reply here and I'll send) - PPR scoring, h2h with 3 divisions, owners in each division play each other 2 times and the other 8 teams 1 time (14 week regular season). Division winners and team with most ytd points that didn't win division go to playoffs, which happen in weeks 15 and 16. Fee is $130, and all is paid out. Largest prizes are for week 1-16 total pts 1st and 2nd, and 1st and 2nd in playoffs. Payouts for every h2h win, winning division, being the wildcard, highest score in weeks 15, 16 and 17. It is on ESPN.

I started a new slow auction league this year. It filled fairly quickly, and we're in the late stages of the slow auction. The owners have really enjoyed it, and encouraged me to start a 2nd new slow auction league, so I have done that. We currently have 9 owners and are looking for 3 more.

1) We'll use a slow auction on couchmanagers.com for the draft. This will start shortly after the league fills, which I hope to be on 8/29 or 8/30. The slow auction should take 6-8 days. Slow auctions are a blast! In this one, there are 36 players up for auction at all times, and you have up to 10 hours to make a bid on any player. The slow auction will be here: http://www.couchmana.../?auction_id=11

You won't be able to join the auction without a password, which I'll send if you indicate you want to be in the league. Meanwhile, you can look at our current auction here: http://www.couchmana...s/?auction_id=7

2) The league will be run on ESPN. I'll send a link to the league if you let me know you're interested.

3) The league rules are in the first reply to this message. We can change any of them by majority vote, up until the auction starts.

I am not partial to LeagueSafe (cumbersome, has fees, and not necessary IMO). If you have any concerns, I'll put you in touch with the owners who are coming to this league from UFL, and they'll vouch that I'm honest, fair, and capable. If it winds up being a deal-breaker (i.e. we can't find enough owners without LeagueSafe), we can use it. I just hate to waste the league's money. Note that I'm very strict with money - everyone must pay well before the start of the draft or you'll be replaced.

Please reply here with questions or to indicate your interest, and give me a way to contact you (email or PM on this site).

Hope you decide to join!

Franchise Fee $130.00
(All below assumes that we have 12 teams – it will be adjusted appropriately if we have less than that, but 12’s looking good)
H2H Wins (Weeks 1 - 14) $5.00 (84) = $420
Super Bowl Winner $260.00 (1) = $260
Runner Up $126 (1) = $130
Division Winners $60.00 (3) = $180
Wildcard $60.00 (1) = $60
Highest points week 15 $40.00 (1) = $60
Highest points week 16 $40.00 (1) = $60
1st in total points after weeks (1-16) $260.00 (1) = $260
2nd in points after weeks (1-16) $126 (1) = $130
$1560 collected = $1560 in prizes
Draft - We will do a full SLOW auction of all players (16 players per team) with a budget of $200 play money. We plan to start the auction on or before Friday 9/2.. It will start earlier if all are paid and all agree to start sooner.
Divisions - There will be three divisions in the UFL. Each division will have 4 teams. Teams will play the other teams in their division twice, and the teams outside their division once (14 week regular season).
Playoffs - The winner of each division (best win/loss record, with total points settling tied records, and head to head being the 3rd tie breaker if necessary) moves on to the UFL Semifinal Championships. The other playoff team (wildcard) is the team who did not win their division, but which had the most ytd points through week 14. In the first round of the playoffs (week 15) the highest scoring team will play the lowest scoring team. The other two playoff teams play each other. The UFL Slow Auction Super Bowl, between the winners of the first round of the playoffs, will be held in week 16.
Lineups - We start 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1 te, 1 flex (rb, wr or te), 1 superflex (any pos), 1k, 1 d/st. Lineups can be changed up until kickoff of each game. After kickoff, any player who was in your lineup from that game is locked into the lineup, and any player who was on your bench from that game is locked onto your bench (for that weekend's games). If too few players are active at any lineup position, the vacant spot(s) score 0 points. If too many players are active at any lineup position, the player(s) who scored the highest points for that week will be treated as inactive.
Pick Ups - We'll use ESPN's waiver process, with a 2-day wait on dropped players. The waiver order will determined at random after the auction and will not reset based on standings. When you add a player you go to the bottom of the order.
Trades –After we have the owners set, we’ll vote on whether to allow trades, and how they’ll be administered.
Commissioner - The commissioner will make decisions on any disputes. If the commissioner is involved, the owner with the highest ytd points will substitute for the commissioner. The commissioner oversees play and enforces the rules. The commissioner has the right and responsibility to uphold the rules as outlined within these pages. The commissioner also has the right to set procedures and policies for the league as needed. Scoring is as the site scores it, unless there is a definite "bug". If so, report this to the commissioner as soon as you see it. He'll try to get it resolved through the site administrator, or manually override the incorrect scoring. Odd plays, such as laterals and fumble recoveries for touchdowns will be scored as the ESPN site scores them.
Scoring - The scoring is set up on the league’s site. The settings there are “official”. What follows here is a summary:
Pass TD 4, Pass Yd .5 per 10, Int -1, 2pt pass 1
Rush TD 6, Rush Yd .1 per 1, 2pt rush 2
Rec TD 6, Rec Yd .1 per 1, 2pt rec 2, any Rec 1
Kick return TD 6, Punt return TD 6, Fum rec TD 6, Fum return TD 6, Int return TD 6
PAT 1, FG 0-39 3, FG 40-49 4, FG 50+ 5
Sack 1, Int 1, Fum rec 1, Safety 1, Kick ret TD 6, Punt ret TD 6, Block kick TD 6, Int ret TD 6, Fum ret TD 6, 0 pts allowed 10, 1-6 pts all 8, 7-13 pts all 6, 14-17 pts all 4, 18-21 pts all 2
