Here’s one of those rare opportunities where the frenzy that is about to take place can translate right into fantasy football. I was in a league like this once before and it was a blast so I am willing to offer this up to CCS, starting with one league of 10 teams and if it takes off, I’ll open another. I will not be taking a team, just running the league as commissioner for the draft. The cost is zero, the prize is bragging rights.

Here’s how it works. After we have our ten teams and one volunteer to run the league after the draft which really is no work since yahoo will keep track of everything, I will set a date when every player in the NFL becomes a free agent.

Each team has $200 to acquire 18 players. Bids can be placed for anyone at any amount in whole numbers, no change. Ex. Tom Brady can be bid for $3, the next bid has to be at least $1 more. You may not bid on players you have no room for. Ex. You have one roster spot, you may not be the leader on two players (Ex. Can’t have Tom Brady at $3 and Jason Witten at $2 since you only have room for one). You may also not bid on a position if you are locked already. Ex. You have two Def/St, you may not bid on a third. You may also not bid more than money you have. Ex. You have two spots open on your roster and $3 left in your budget. The most you could bid is $2 on roster spot.

Each night at 8 PM, the bidding will end for that day. All bids after 8 PM will go toward the next day. Players that have a bid will get Day 1 status. If no bids are made on the next day, Day 2 status are given. If no bids are made for two consecutive days after the initial bid, that player is deemed to be sold. Ex. Tom Brady gets a bid of $3 and no one bids for two consecutive days on Tom. He is sold for $3. If a bid comes in on day 2 before 8 PM, Tom Brady gets his status reset and is available again for bidding. Draft continues until rosters are full or no bids on any players happen for three consecutive days. Once the draft ends, everyone not on a team will be available via normal free agency without any salary attached to them


Rosters are as follows:

2 Def/St
2 K
2 TE
12 (QB, RB, WR)

Starting lineups will be:

1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex (wr/rb), 1 TE, 1 K, 1 Def/ST

Scoring is as follows:

Passing Yards 25 yards per point; 3 points at 300 yards; 6 points at 400 yards; 9 points at 500 yards
Passing Touchdowns 4
Interceptions -1
Rushing Yards 10 yards per point; 2 points at 150 yards; 3 points at 175 yards; 6 points at 200 yards
Rushing Touchdowns 6
Reception Yards 10 yards per point; 4 points at 125 yards; 6 points at 150 yards; 12 points at 200 yards
Reception Touchdowns 6
Return Touchdowns 6
2-Point Conversions 2
Fumbles Lost -2
Offensive Fumble Return TD 6
Pick Sixes Thrown -4
Field Goals 0-19 Yards 3
Field Goals 20-29 Yards 3
Field Goals 30-39 Yards 3
Field Goals 40-49 Yards 4
Field Goals 50+ Yards 5
Point After Attempt Made 1
Sack 1
Interception 2
Fumble Recovery 2
Touchdown 6
Safety 2
Block Kick 2
Kickoff and Punt Return Touchdowns 6
Points Allowed 0 points 10

Points Allowed 21-27 points 0
Points Allowed 28-34 points -1

Defensive Yards Allowed 0-99 10
Defensive Yards Allowed 100-199 7
Defensive Yards Allowed 200-299 3
Defensive Yards Allowed 300-399 -3
Defensive Yards Allowed 400-499 -7
Defensive Yards Allowed 500+ -10

Once we have the ten owners, I will ask a mod move this thread to the drafting forum. I hope you all have a blast with this, I know I did. I will do my best to keep this updated daily.

Could we do this on ESPN? I don't care for yahoo's platform. If you can't find people, I'm down...

If we get our five additional owners today, I am thinking the auction can start right away but I won't call the end of the first day until Monday Jul 25 just to get the league rolling.

I've never been that great at fantasy sports, but this seems fun. I'll join.

I'm in -- but can we have a TE as a flex option, too? If I have Dallas Clark and Tony Gonzalez, I don't want to have to sit one of them in favor of Golden Tate.

If poodski is in, I think I have one spot open which might be filled, awaiting word from one other member.

If we fill this today, I will have a post on auction instructions and then we can get the FRENZY started.

The auction begins now.

Bids need to be placed as follows:

Position, Name, Team played for last year, Amount

Ex.

QB, Tom Brady, NE, $4

If a bid has been edited it will not count.
Also any players that have a contract status of Day 2 after 8 PM Friday will not go to sold until Monday at 8 PM (players will not be sold Saturday or Sunday to allow everyone to enjoy the weekend)

Remember you can only bid if you have room on your roster or money in your cap.

Since the draft is starting now, day 1 won’t end til Friday night at 8 PM.

If you have any questions, PM me.

Good luck and have a blast!

EDIT: Please make only one bid per post. And you can bid on multiple players at once as long as you have the cap room and the roster room in case you win all the players.
