Odd Number of Owners (1 Viewer)

We might have a last minute drop out from a 12 man keeper league. How do you deal with scheduling for an 11 owner league?

All play schedule each week?

Each team plays all others every week, so the highest scoring team woould go 10-0 that week and the lowest would go 0-10.

Another way would be to have double header schedules each week.

can't get another owner?

assume the team drafted??? if so, leave the schedule alone, and field that teams best line up every week...yes you won't know that lineup until Tuesday morning...

It's happened in the past in one of my leagues and the commissioner drafts a team (which is usually a decent one) and has had no problem in the past selling it before the season.

Interesting, but how is that different from a total points league? I was looking at setting up a ghost team for the dropout and using the league average but can't figure out how to do it on Sportsline.

Short of getting another owner, the odd team can play against the league average for that week.

Because there are records for each week's performance. Having been in these types of leagues, it could turn out quite a bit different than straight total points.

every time the abandoned team plays a team in the league, that teams closest competition in the division managages the abandoned team

PM Shuke about how to rig up some bye weeks.

We did something similar one year in my local league. In order to avoid the appearance of impropriety, three of us actually drafted the team based off a 'top 200' list we found on the net. As a group we'd make adjustments to ensure that the team didn't draft quarterbacks in the first three rounds or something equally idiotic.

Find a 12th owner who doesnt have to pay... yet can win the money if he wins.

You can almost always find a taker that way. And he/she might stick.

1- Draft a dummy team using generic rankings.

2- Each team gets a bye week during the season

3- Create a "team" on the schedule that doesn't have a roster. When real teams play this team, the fake team gets the average score of all other 11 teams that week. This keeps it competitive & doesn't waste players on a team with no owner & eliminates roster moves, etc.

We almost had this situation this year and there was an interesting proposal... the team is community drafted based on rankings, and starters picked based on projections for that week. (We'd have to come up with some way to handle FA moves during the year, but presumably it would involve picking up the top scoring FA each week and dropping someone who is not hurt and not on a cut list et).

And if this team wins the league, the entire pool rolls over to next year for a bigger pot.
