Still waiting on SPF and Flyman to confirm. In reading the rules Todd sent out, Shandler's prices are based on a 12-team mixed so I'm thinking if SPF and Flyman confirm, we'll stop at 14 teams and if we don't hear back from either of them in time, then we'll just go with the current 12.
I just read the rules and will discuss a few issues in a separate post.Some people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.
Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you...but it's still on the list.
Some people are like Slinkies, they are not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Some Official Roto 500 Rules Issues:
The process is repeated, with successive team owners acquiring players, until every team has drafted enough players to complete their 23-man active roster by requisite position. This need not be completed within a team’s first 23 picks. The draft proceeds into the reserve rounds and continues until no more owners have an interest in filling slots on their reserve rosters.
Setting up a FAAB system online seems unlikely, considering SOME sites can't even get set up properly for a traditional FAAB system :mad:. These rules answered one of my previous questions that you do get reimbursed the salary of any player you cut. I think that's how it should be, but it also creates what seems like quite a bookkeeping chore for the commish(es) if the website is not able to track it.
When a player is released to the free-agent pool, the team reclaims the player salary to his budget. For example, if Albert Pujols was won in a draft day auction at $65 and subsequently released to the free-agent pool for any reason, the owning team frees up that $65 in its $500 budget to spend on either free-agents or other player acquisitions (e.g. trades).
(In the above example, subsequent free agent bidding on Pujols would open at $65.)
At the end of the rules it says all must attend the draft in person, obviously that doesn't apply for us, just in person online.Some people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.
Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you...but it's still on the list.

I need to think about it some more but I *think* the way to handle FAAB is this:
There really is no such thing as FAAB. Everyone basically has an unlimited amount of money to spend as long as they are under the cap. So FAAB in the traditional sense won't work. I get a $100 Pujols, I cut him, I buy a $100 A-Rod, I cut him, I buy a $100 Neifi Perez, I cut him, I buy a $100 Eric Chavez, etc. I have "spent" 400 dollars.
BUT the problem is that I don't think any stat site will be able to enforce the rule that your FAAB purchases can't put you over the cap. So it basically has to be the honor system (with penalties)
-Everyone gets a huge FAAB allocation (say 500)
-When you want a free agent you buy them
-Their salary is what you paid for them
-When the week starts you have to be under the cap
-First time you're not under the cap you get a warning, second time you lose the player you bought, 3rd time and beyond you lose your most expensive player
The alternative is to do it manually.
Everyone's FAAB is set after the auction/draft. Whenever someone drops a player the commish manually adds that salary to their FAAB budget. I wouldn't be opposed to this if we had a lot of people doing the managing, or if we limited transactions, but it's a lot of work. And the issue is that I'm not sure how to handle max bids (if we need to). In other words, if I only fill 33 spots at the draft, and I have $70 left over, can I spend all $70 on my 34th player? I assume that *IS* ok but I'm not 100% sure.

Originally posted by TopChuckie View PostI think it's ok, as long as you can legally fill your 23 active spots, you can run out of cap space with 23 to 40 total players.
Otherwise we would have to do the unlimited FAAB honor/penalty system if we want drops to be tied to pickups.

A couple more things from my review of the rules, minimal as it was:
I don't think there's an auction site out there that can handle this (does anyone allow for a snake auction?) so we'll probably have to use a Skype call and a Google Doc or something like that.
Someone else already noticed the 12-team pricing, so that's good.
Are we planning to structure this as a keeper league?
- MikeIn the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
