Hello everyone,
For our newer manager, here is how our Keeper and live draft process works:
The 13 original teams have the opportunity to keep up to four of their best players from last year's roster. This gives them the opportunity to retain a couple of great players but doesn't allow them to hoard players that the new teams need to have a competitive chance this season.
The one new team (this is awesome that you are joining us and I hope you have fun!) don't have the keeper option yet since they did not have rosters from last season (pretty obvious). Next year, all teams will be able to keep up to four players.
To keep the league competitive every year, we use a linear draft order that is based on how teams placed last season. i.e. the last team would draft first each round and the first-place team would draft last each round. The new teams will be placed at the front of this draft list based on the order they joined the league. i.e. you should see new person #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, original team 12th place, original team 11th place, etc...
Once I have approved of the keepers, I then manually set the draft order using the method described above. You can view this order by clicking on the following buttons = Draft = Draft Results = then you can see them by the Round or Team buttons on the Draft Results page.
Please feel free to email me at heathmaccoy@yahoo.com if I can help clarify this for you as I want everyone to be competitive and have fun winning!
Good hunting, my monkeys!

You can now see your place in the draft and the keepers everyone selected by clicking on Draft then Draft Results - then Round or Team.
Remember, the live draft is the following Sunday night (3/17) at 7:00pm.
Good hunting, my monkey minions!

Just a last-minute reminder.... This Friday midnight is our keeper deadline. You can keep up to 4 players. For the two new teams, you will pick at the top of the draft order...

last minute consideration.... would you prefer On Base Percentage or On Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage as the last hitting category?
Thanks,

We just need two more managers, kids. You all have the ability to send out invitations to people you know who will have fun, be ridiculous, and play competitively in this nonsense! (you can always forward their emails to me).
If I don't hear back or see new team pop up in the next two weeks, I will open our league to the public Yahoo board.
Thanks,
Heath
