      I'm doing an auction for the first time this season. I've been thinking about trying Rotolab. Will the program change dollar values for inflation/deflation if players go for a higher/lower price than what the program originally tabulated?

          Nothing. Absolutely nothing!

            Just curious, can you set it up to adjust for dynamics of individual drafts such as inflation of top end SP or closers in general?

                Hard and fast rule in our league, since before the days of laptops in auctions: Once the auction begins, no outside information allowed. No radio, television, phone calls to the wife watching the ESPN ticker, etc. Now it includes "no internet".

                I don't know if it's a good rule or a bad rule, but there it is. It does seem to keep the playing field even for those guys without laptops.

                  Looks like a lot of people use Rotolab...if everyone (or even several people) use the same software, doesn't everybody wind up tripping over each other, bidding-wise?

                    could be, if you dont tweak your projections.

                      You can do two things:

                      1. Weight the categories differently. If you think that your league "inflates" top end pitchers, bump up the weighting of W or K.
                      2. You can change how the values are generated. You can decide to value taking positional scarcity in mind. You can set the percentage of $$$ to go to hitting and pitching. There are also two sliders (one for pitching, one for hitting) change valuation based on a stars and scrubs strategy or a spread the risk strategy. Plus you can use separate hitting and pitching inflation factors.

                        Sounds like a great program. I would certainly use it if we were allowed to use Laptops. (Yes, the Constitution was written in 1985).

                          If it was written in 1985, then the Constitution makes no mention of laptops.

                                So they can have a live draft and a vintage draft at the same time.
                                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.
