RETURNS:
Please let me know by posting in the message boards if you are returning to The Walking Dead next season. In order to keep it competitive, encourage participation and weed out the drifters, the entrance fee will increase. The amount of increase is set below. Please email if you do not wish to return. I found that this year participation was abysmal and voting just plain sucked. If the dues are set higher, payouts are higher and more people will pay attention and remain enthusiastic. Also, for leaguesafe, the setting will be changed to Commissioner distribution. This year it is set to unanimous vote which isn't recommended by leaguesafe for obvious reasons. If one disgruntled person decides the payouts aren't to their liking, they can stall (not prevent---just stall) the payouts. I do not want anyone's payout delayed and I think we have proven this league is legit already. Most other leagues have Commissioners in control of payouts, and this league will follow suit. If we all knew each other personally, unanimous voting would probably be more appropriate. Since such is not the case, changes have been implemented accordingly.
A league constitution has been drafted and the input of all those who actually contributed throughout the season was taken into account. For those who did not, you have the choice of returning or declining.
League Dues:
$75.00
Payouts:
1st place: 400
2nd place: 200
3rd place: 100
Division Leaders (2 Divisions): 75 each
League Trophy with Team Name Engraved plus Shipping: 50 dollars
Categories:
Wins
Losses
Saves
K
ERA
WHIP
QS
Hits
Runs
AVG
HR
RBI
SB
OBP
Losses have been added to offset the QS and prevent managers from overloading on spot starters (which some of us are guilty of). Hits have been added to balance the categories out at 7 and 7.
Inflation: 3 dollars per player per season
Add/Drops: 3 Maximum (5 encourages the spot starts--next season you will have to win on your starting staff's merits---yikes for me, dmb and a few others lol....)
DL Spots: 4
Waiver Days: 2 days (instead of 3)
*Play will be limited to your division opponents for the most part; Interleague play will include playing another manager from the opposing division 1x at random. The season will be shortened by 1 week because I noticed a ton of MLB teams shutting down their players or not hastening to start them from the DL even though they were ready due to their position in their respective divisions and whether or not a playoff run was imminent. Shortening regular season play by a week gives everyone's players a chance to play before the teams start protecting their young stars for the following season.
This is the basis for next year's Auction League. Any input is welcome, but unless there is a 75 percent league vote in opposition to any of the above, all changes will remain the same. I look forward to a much better, active and lucrative league next season. Email: phenom212@gmail.com to confirm your re-entry next year or post on the message boards.
(*Now let's hear all those who did not participate ALL year shake the cobwebs and complain about how these changes are unfair...LOL) -
For NEXT Season's League:
Cash Considerations (*See Message Board Below)
Keepers: 5 -
Keepers set at 5.
Thanks to the few people who actually voted.
If you're not OK with 5 keepers and you didn't vote, sucks to be you. -
While I understand this is "The Walking Dead" League...you're not all Dead. Communicate.....respond to your trade offers and if you don't like them, counter or open dialogue with the Other Owner.
I don't expect you to be on here every day. You have lives, work, etc. But at the very least respond to the polls and your trade offers.
And FYI, if zombies come to get us, I'm pushing each and every one of you to the floor and booking it! (Thank you Otis) -
PAYOUT STRUCTURE
1st 235 (55%)
2nd 100 (25%)
3rd 50 (12%)
Best record 35 (8%) -
All Teams have Been Claimed.
Take Refuge in the CDC or the Farm.
Pray For Daylight.... -
All Paid Teams have been Claimed. Waiting on Ken's colleague from another league to take over the Killer Zombies Team and we are all set.
-
Found another manager to take over the worst team for free (I'll absorb the cost). ONE more team left and it's a pretty decent one---then we're all SET.
Please VOTE on the league payouts.
Any questions or suggestions, email me. phenom212@gmail.com -
UPDATE:
I just got one manager replaced for the team HANKYPANKY28.
This leaves 2 teams remaining for replacement. Crackers suggested we re-draft with 10, though I will leave this up to the league. In the meantime, I will continue to search for 2 more replacement managers. These are the teams remaining:
TEAM 1
Russell Martin
Joey Votto
Neil Walker
Ryan Zimmerman
Troy Tulowitzki
Justin Upton
Peter Bourjos
Dexter Fowler
Ian Desmond
Jason Kubel
Vladimir Guerrero
Jason Bay
Carlos Pena
Jose Altuve
Tim Lincecum
CC Sabathia
Drew Storen
Chris Sale
Brandon Beachy
Shaun Marcum
Jhoylys Chacin
Bud Norris
John Danks
TEAM 2
Yadier Molina
Ryan Howard
Ben Zobrist
Evan Longoria
Derek Jeter
BJ Upton
Martin Prado
Coco Crisp
Aramis Ramirez
Adam Lind
Jose Tabata
Carlos Lee
Chris Heisey
Cole Hamels
Jered Weaver
John Axford
Frank Francisco
Zack Greinke
David Price
Yovani Gallardo
Tommy Hanson
Wandy Rodriguez
Trevor Cahill
Obviously team 2 is going to be difficult to get someone to pick up---but if I'm offering to pay their entrance fee, hopefully they bite and re-draft a better team next season.
*Please VOTE on the payout structure so I can finalize it as well. -
UPDATE ON FINAL PAYMENTS AND TEAMS:
The following have contacted me:
Henry- stated he is 16 and did not know it was a "pay league" (lame)
Julio- PAID
Seth- No Contact
Lake- No Contact
At this point I am locking Seth, Lake and Henry's teams and searching for replacement managers. If anyone knows someone who is interested, please let me know ASAP. One of the three teams is terrible and for that team only I am willing to pay the entrance fee for this year alone so someone can pick them up.
That leaves 9 active and 3 duds. 2 out of the 3 teams that are missing have pretty good players on them, so it shouldn't be a problem picking up a manager.
Any thoughts? -
MISSING PAYMENTS: FINAL WARNING
Henry henraydood8@yahoo.com $35.00 $0.00 $0.00 $35.00 Not Paid
Julio juliorod243@yahoo.com $35.00 $0.00 $0.00 $35.00 Not Paid
Seth sethkanirie@gmail.com $35.00 $0.00 $0.00 $35.00 Not Paid
Lake lake.mecham@yahoo.com $35.00 $0.00 $0.00 $35.00 Not Paid
The owner of AllNightLong has discussed payment with me and will be making it shortly
If payments aren't made or at least discussed with me (the league deserves at least an email to let us know if you are staying or not), then I will be locking your teams and looking for replacement managers immediately. You knew the draft time when you signed up. Let's be fair and pay like everyone else. The only one I have discussed payment with is AllNightLong and I know him personally, so he is 100 Percent in. We are missing 4 players at this point. Not a good turnout....
You have 2 days to at least get back to me and the League to explain when you will be able to make payment. If you're having trouble, email me and let me know. We can work something out. If you're just unhappy with your team because you missed the draft, sounds personal. See below:

LEAGUE SAFE managers have been updated with the entire league. Everyone can see if they have paid or not and emails have been sent out. Please respond accordingly.

LEAGUE SAFE invites have been sent. If you have not received one, please let me know ASAP. 35.00 due ASAP.

DRAFT TIME:
The time has been changed God knows how many times due to people joining, dropping, etc. We had a late entry, and then a drop, and Yahoo blocked the 130PM Auction draft due to being too close to the 1/2 hour time slot. Most people work at 4PM so it would not have given them enough time to draft comfortably before work.
We are now at full capacity, so hopefully everyone stays for this time slot. If not, I certainly understand. Initially we wanted 12 in this league, but due to low turnout I put it down to 10. Since we have a few hours to 11:45pm, I'll be open to adding 2 more to make 12, otherwise we can stay at 10 and the draft will take place at 11:45pm............barring a zombie apocalypse. (In which case we should all be thoroughly prepared for a battle to the death.)
Most people have emailed me and stated the later the better and 11:45pm US Eastern Time has been set as the draft time. I know most of these individuals personally and they will be available for this draft time. Any questions, concerns or just bitching, please direct it to my email: Phenom212 @ gmail.com -
