Keeper league rules

[sirpaul]

Figured I'd give everyone the chance to throw their 2 cents in before we set the rules.

[Diz]

here is what i propose.

1. KEEPERS

A. Each team can keep from 0 -3 players from their end of season roster.

B. Players drafted in the first 2 rounds can’t be kept in the following season.
i. This prevents top tier players from being kept.
ii. If you keep your 3rd or 4th round pick you can only keep them 1 time (2 seasons) see rule D.

C. A player can only be kept a maximum of 2 consecutive times. (3 seasons on a team)
i. This rule is to keep things interesting.
ii. If this player gets traded after 2 year of being a keeper he is only available for 1 more year of keeper status. (still 3 consecutive years of being a keeper regardless of team)

D. For each player that is kept and was originally drafted by a team, that manager must give up a draft pick 2 picks higher than where the player was initially drafted the year before.
i. Example: Running back Arian Foster was drafted in the 11th round last year. If kept, this year he would account for the teams 9th round pick. If kept again, the following year he we be considered the 7th round pick.

E. Any player that went undrafted the previous year, but is being kept will count as a team’s 3rd to last pick.

F. If you do not have a draft pick for a round to give up a player, you must give up the next highest pick.
i. This might happen if you trade away a draft pick or have 2 keepers that have the same draft status from the previous year.

I would like to try a full keeper league, but I think we should start with only 2-3 until we see who will be sticking around. In another keeper league, we had no one could be kept that was taken in the first three rounds and any player you kept, you lost the draft pick you used on him (ex.I take Little in the 9th, and if I keep him, i lose my 9th round pick in 2012)

Looks like dizzle and I are on the same page, I'm in with his much better written rules

[sirpaul]

He had to make up for the rest of his day.

Not opposed to dizzle rules except I think it should be tit for tat. If you draft someone with a 8th you should only give up an 8th that way you are rewarded for a good pick.

Also undrafted should be last pick for above reason.

Let me get this straight. We can't even get these assholes to sign up, and you guys are talking about keeping guys 3 years down the line?

And where the fuck am I? A new forum?!?!?!?

[Diz]

maybe we might want to skip the keeper league and see how it goes. if we have everybody coming back next year then we should talk about it.

And where the fuck am I? A new forum?!?!?!?

Welcome to the new Fantasy Forum. Let me explain.

No this is gonna be a keeper league and just suck it up. Well adjust as needed.

[sirpaul]

At worst play for this year.

What if, you know, something...really bad happens, like Voodoo falling out of the Tilt-a-Whirl again, and...well, you get the picture. This keeper thing is a bad idea. Tempting fate and all.

[Voodoochile]

I quit riding the Tilt-a-Whirl after that last incident.

[sirpaul]

If the result of the keeper league is Voodoo falling out of a Tilt-a-Whirl I'm even more down with it. Talk about funny shit.

That brings back memories of my days working at Geauga Lake.
