Chris de Sperg posted:In as Holding Penn. Maybe because this is a dynasty league/ high amount of keepers, we don't need to have penalties and you just keep what position you drafted the player at. The 7 round draft would actually be the full draft but you'd only be drafting 7 new players throughout it based on what rounds you kept your 15 keepers in. KettleWL posted:No idea how the $200 waiver thing works, but I've been wanting to try a dynasty format so I'm in. Basically when you make a waiver claim, you put a bid in and whoever bid the highest gets the player. This is so when players blow up (like Alshon Jeffery or Foles like last year), everyone has a chance to get him and not just the lucky guy who tanked last week or saved their waiver pick.

Forever_Peace posted:You know, one potential solution could be to have at-cost keepers (so a 3rd rounder this year is kept for a 3rd next year) with a redraft that is technically 22 rounds again - each person just sits out 15 of them. There would be the same number of picks as a full 7-round draft, but people who drop a lot of high-value players get more picks in the early rounds. Upside is old people get to still be useful this year (e.g. you could draft peyton in the first this year, then drop him for an early pick next year) and career-ending injuries are easier for a team to recover from. Downside is the draft order would be really loving strange. Alright, This may be the best way, and makes things a bit simpler down the road.

So remember that you're going to be stashing some rookies/ young players in there in higher draft picks that you wouldn't necessarily be starting but want to stash just in case. It's also going to hold some players who you may want to keep but got hurt or suspended. So your bench isn't quite deep as it appears. However, if there is a demand for IDP, we can add one in. Right now I'm just trying to fill up more slots, so if you guys have friends or anything that may want to join that aren't on the forums, they are also welcome. Chris de Sperg posted:Only thing I'd add is it'd probably be best to get people to submit their keepers blind (i.e. everyone sends them in to the commish privately and once they're all in the keepers/draft order is then revealed) to prevent people from getting too cute with waiting to see who's gonna be there at what spot and tailoring their keepers accordingly at such (particularly because it leaves people who are timely with getting their stuff in at a disadvantage). I like this idea, of having keepers be a secret. But I think the draft order should be in the NFL style where the worst team gets first pick and so on (but then snaking back). But yeah keepers not being revealed until all keepers are locked is a good idea.

Ben Nevis posted:Not really a regular, but I'm willing to jump in, just need to make sure I'm free for the draft. Well, when you're ready, join on in. This should be a pretty good time for all. I change the settings a tiny bit. Changes include; 1. Changed divisions from 4 to 2. Reason: I didn't want teams to be playing the same team 3 or 4 times in one season. Adjusted DEF scoring to be a bit more friendly Reason: With the way teams are scoring (only 6 teams averaged under 20ppg last season, making fantasy defenses an afterthought), the system seemed a touch outdated with only the best defenses scoring more than 5 points. More specifically: I added .3 (from 0) for forced fumbles and changed fumble recovery to 1.7 (so 2 points total or 1.7 for heads up play). Blocked kicks worth 2 points (from 0), this is the point average between extra points and field goals. 0PA 10 (from 8) 1-6PA 8 (from 7) 7-13PA 5 (From 4) 14-20PA 3 (From 1) 21-27PA 1 (From 0) 28-34PA -1 (no change) 35+ PA -4 (no Change)

Ok looking into this has put a bump in the road. Here's what I've found out. 1. Yes, I will be able to swap individual draft positions. But you have to switch equal amount of slots. Ex: Trade pick 1 and 24 for two other picks, you can't give your first pick for a 3rd and 4th round. It will be up to team owners to figure out which picks they are trading. If you do decide to trade picks. Please post in the thread as so. Team Name - Picks trading away - Picks getting Team Name - Picks trading away - picks getting The soft deadline for this is 11:59 PM Thursday (I get to work around 9 Eastern and will load them in from there) The other thing I ran into is for next years keepers/ draft. All 15 Keepers for each team will be marked as rounds 1-15 and the draft will be rounds 16-22. This might make trading picks a bit easier next season as you can trade a pick for a player and not worry about keeping two players in round 10 or what have you.

Also everyone, How do we want to handle keepers since we are trading picks? Would it just make sense if the keeper cost was overall pick. so your second round 7 pick would be 8th overall and his cost would be 8 if you were to keep him?

Its Miller Time posted:I really like my picks from rounds 6-8, Mike Evans, Kelvin Benjamin and Devonta Freeman. I'm gonna suck this year though. Right, so in my case and Ground controls case, we traded picks, so I had 2 4th round picks. Something that won't happen next draft. So my second 4th round pick slips to 5 (if I were to keep both players), and 5 to 6, and 6 to 7 until it fixes itself on the pick I gave up. Alternatively if you traded a player for a player who was picked in round 5 say. and you wanted to keep both your pick fives come next year, it's the same thing. This was the best thing I could come up with as a resolution to those scenarios. There could be a better way, but I'm not seeing it.

RCarr posted:Yea there's nothing stopping you from picking twice in the same round. I did my keeper draft last week and some teams had 3 picks in the same round with no issues. You just pick at your spot that round as well as the spot the person that traded the pick to you has. Right. I'm talking about logging peoples keepers in for next year. We decided that next years draft would be 22 rounds and you'd get 7 picks within those rounds (because 15 picks are those keepers) And you'd just be keeping players at the "cost" of whatever round you got them in. So look at this here chart. When I go to log the keepers for next year. I can't put 2 players into the same slot for that round. This year, I have 2 guys I picked in the 4th round. So if I wanted to keep both of them I would put the first guy picked in Keeper slot 4 and the second guy in keeper slot 5. Its Miller Time posted:Why can't you just pick twice in the 4th? You pick at your spot and his spot. The other option would be going back to everyone's 15 keepers get logged as the first 15 slots, and then there is a 7 round draft straight through to refill the roster.

Alright guys. Yeah, i can still do all that stuff and set keepers for the 15 of 22 rounds. That part isn't hard at all. Honestly, the second pick in a round bumping up one slot is a technical limitation as next year, i wont have 2 4th round picks. And when i add say jordan cameron as a keeper in my 4th round, i cant put julian jones in the 4th too. So he would be my 5th round. If i kept my 5th pick tim tebow, he would move to 6 and so on until the gap was reached where i had traded that pick away (this is why when trading picks you had to trade an even amount of picks. the issue that needs solving is here: trading away a "first" round pick would be unfair as your first round pick might not be until round 16 (if you kept your first 15 players). Thats what we need a solution for. Looking at this overall. I don't think we need to switch draft/ keeper formats for next year. We just need to figure out how draft trades will work in the 22 round system.Edit: I have a new proposition that doesn't change the rules or gently caress up anyones draft. Keepers will be due the monday after the third preseason game. No one can trade for draft picks until between that tuesday and end of day that friday (just before the draft). This way everyone can be more specific about the picks they're trading for. Marshmallow Blue fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Sep 5, 2014 |

The spreadsheet is for me to keep track of things, so you really dont need to worry about using it. It is a resource for you to use to see what round guy your trading for. Ill look deeper into the keeper cost issue as far as rounds go in a little bit. Edit: Ok, I made a fake league to F around with keepers. I absolutely can not set 2 players into the same keeper slot (two round fours etc since I won't have two round four picks each year). Since keepers are "no cost" it makes the most sense to just have it bump up the slot. It's not some great advantage since you're keeping 15 of 22 players. That is pretty much kickers, poor choices, a crummy defense and retirees, maybe an aging stud for an early pick. I could see it being an issue if it were like 3 keepers, but it's not that at all. It's just working around the system. Marshmallow Blue fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Sep 5, 2014 |

Honore_De_Balzac posted:If I am reading this right, then say you keep two round 4 players. One takes the 4th round pick, and the other takes the 5th. So, then does your 5th round keeper take your 6th since the 5th round is taken by your second 4th round player? If so then essentially your second 4th round keeper comes at an increasingly discounted price depending on how many of the rounds following you also fill up with keepers. This way works fine if the owner doesn't keep there 5th round keeper, but when they keep players 5-10 on top of the 2 4th rounders they are really just missing out on that 11th round pick. In my case, I traded my 6th for a 4th (and my 8th for a 12th). So it would only bump those 2 rounds to where my hole was at 6. If someone was dumb enough to trade their 4th round pick to me for my 10th, then yes it could be a value if I kept all slots in between.

oldskool posted:It depends on what the other owners do in rounds 1-10. If that 11th round pick is the first player dropped it's #1 overall (and would've been regardless). If everyone dropped their first player slotted at 11, the first pick would be the person with the worst record (Draft order). We are however doing secret keepers, so you won't know who's being kept until everyone has submitted their own keepers, so you won't be able to fudge around for an earlier pick.

/\ this issue with not having an option to keep a first is losing a younger player that you picked ahead of a better but older player Ok. I think i'm seeing the clash between my planned system, and adding pick trading in that fixing one thing would throw the other off and vice versa. Ive come up with a few options. We need to decide on one of them. A: 15 keepers in general and a 7 round draft next year B: keeper cost: each round has a certain point value (round one would be more pts than two) and you get an allotment of points to keep as many players as you can afford based on keeping higher and lower rounds. Then the draft would be snaking from worst to best record. Marshmallow Blue fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Sep 5, 2014 |
