bump so it's in my subscriptions

[TomVeil]

Fear me, my team is 100% Royals at this point!

[bsball8806]

i definitely just flushed 50 bucks down the toilet- but I will at least will have fun watching it swirl around

[TomVeil]

Better to lose it to me in 6 months than lose it to some random at the tables in 6 minutes?

With luck, this will continue when we start sorting out the big leaguers too. I'm curious as to just how badly the Royals would do at 12 team roto.

[Ludovic Banhammer]

More seriously, I would like input on prize distribution, and on when to start the auction. There are threads in the general section of Proboards on this. If you haven't looked at them, please do, as I will eventually assume that anyone who hasn't said anything is happy with whatever we decide.

Can't be worse than they do in the MLB.

[TomVeil]

If we have 14? I think we should do 60/30/10% I'm not opposed to giving 4th $50 for entry into next year either.

[J.D.]

I say pay top 3, 60/30/10 sounds good.

Also, havent read all the rules, but an interesting twist in a league I was in was going 4-12th (12 team league) then 3/2/1 for the rookie draft. kept potential tanking at bay.

[TomVeil]

I am down for that or a weighted lottery system for the 4-12 picks. In this format I don't think the drafting order will be a huge deal, since we have a minor league team too.

[Ludovic Banhammer]

I suggested 400/200/100, more because the numbers are neater than anything else.

I'm a little worried that people might tank, especially when there is a clear number one pick like Strasburg, who is major league ready at a level which impacts on a 14 team league, but then I do like the idea that the worst team gets the chance to get the best player, just to make it a little easier to rebuild.

One suggestion that was made on the Proboards thread was to have whoever was last having to pay an extra $50 into the next year's kitty. I suspect that would reduce tanking, but I wouldn't want to do that, unless everyone was happy with it.

id give 4th 50

350/200/100/50 - 1st still gets 50%

5-12 lottery -- but give 5 8 entries, 6 7 entries, etc

[TomVeil]

I'd suggest lottery then. Weight it and give all teams 4-12 a CHANCE for the top 3 picks.

I'd have to look into the numbers, but basically just like the NBA system.
