Love the A,AA,AAA thing. Maybe even rookie leagues too. Never did an auction league before, might be fun.

[–]KTrout17[S] 3 points4 points ago*

I've never heard of anybody doing an auction league and then deciding they prefer a snake draft instead.

[–]vinceredd 1 point2 points ago

I'm a creature of habit and I've just been doing random Yahoo standard leagues for awhile now. I liked snake drafts because they're pretty easy and predictable, but now that's become the problem. How do auction drafts work if people don't show up to the draft?

[–]ViolentEastCoastCity 1 point2 points ago

I prefer snaking drafts, actually. I find auction to be difficult.

[–]KTrout17[S] 2 points3 points ago

Dammit now I can't say that anymore can I?

[–]josefjohann 2 points3 points ago

Reddit has a huge contrarian impulse so that kind of comment is inevitable. But I bet your experience is true in the vast majority of cases. I used to love drafting, but I tried just one auction league a few years ago and I've never looked back.

It was my go to argument to throw out there when someone want sure they wanted to go keeper, now it's just a lie....

[–]DocEllis 0 points1 point ago

I would be down. About 6 years of fantasy baseball exp.

[–]HeroicGomez 1 point2 points ago

Count me in.

[–]pastaburrito 0 points1 point ago

[–]Guslikessoda 1 point2 points ago

I was in last year, and this new idea seems awesome!

[–]GeauxPhillies26 0 points1 point ago

I'll join.

[–]iltat_work 0 points1 point ago

I love the idea. I'm in.

[–]SeniorLongDong 0 points1 point ago

I'll see if I can help out!

[–]KTrout17[S] 0 points1 point ago

Maybe just some thoughts on the logistics of the whole thing to start out. Three 12-14 team leagues...

[–]johnnygoette 0 points1 point ago

Totally down. I was in one of the reddit FFB leagues and I greatly enjoyed it.

[–]beverlyfreaks 0 points1 point ago

This sounds awesome! I would be interested.

[–]TromboneDude 0 points1 point ago

[–]railroadrum 0 points1 point ago

I'm in. I like the concept.

[–]mrnothere 0 points1 point ago

Sounds fun. I'd like to play.

[–]MonkeyInATopHat 1 point2 points ago

I am in and I would gladly help with organizing/LMing a league (if we do it the same way r/ffb did. Also lemme know if u want any info on how they did it)

[–]KTrout17[S] 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking three 12 team leagues, top four teams in A and AA move up a division, bottom four teams in AAA and AA get sent down. Obviously couldn't be a keeper league. We could mix up the settings so AAA is more in depth than A maybe... but yeah if you want to lay out how FFB did out and any problems they've run into by all means...

[–]corn_starch_party 1 point2 points ago

It's a shame you couldn't do keepers but it would be very difficult to find a way to do it easily and fairly. You would have to establish who gets the first shot at a player if two teams have the same player at the same league level. It could get very messy and unjust quickly.

[–]KTrout17[S] 1 point2 points ago

Maybe AAA could be a keeper/auction, AA could be non-keeper/auction, and A could just be a snake draft?

[–]ViolentEastCoastCity 1 point2 points ago

So, like EPL rules almost?

[–]SylvesterCologne 1 point2 points ago

I'd like to join too. Love the idea.

[–]nerfking 0 points1 point ago

[–]dogsontreadmills 0 points1 point ago

Love the hierarchy idea. I'm game!

[–]corn_starch_party 0 points1 point ago

I don't know how many spots are filled, but i'd like to be in here too. I wasn't in last year so I understand I would probably have to start in A or AA...unless someone in AAA were to suddenly become...incapacitated...

[–]KTrout17[S] 0 points1 point ago

Looking at last years standings it's pretty likely that already happened...

[–]elksfww3 0 points1 point ago

I would be down.

[–]AJEDrew7 0 points1 point ago*

[–]outofharmsway 0 points1 point ago

i'm in, let me know where to sign up

[–]mkultra3 1 point2 points ago

Sign me up! How about something like the /r/narffl? ie. many different leagues, and then the winner of each league goes to some sort of playoff challenge for the #1 champion?

[–]zatch17 0 points1 point ago

I'm in. I vote for the snake draft though. Auction would be okay too.

[–]troj4nk1ng 0 points1 point ago

Count me in

[–]SecretCheese 0 points1 point ago

If there's still space, I'll join in.

[–]odon13 0 points1 point ago

[–]n0toriousgt 0 points1 point ago

I'm In.

[–]Vitalstatistix 0 points1 point ago

I'm in for sure!

[–]fatkid60 0 points1 point ago

If this happens, I'd like to join. I always enjoy an auction league.

[–]saxaddict14 0 points1 point ago

I'm in as well!

[–]linkkjm 0 points1 point ago

I'm in. Where do I join?

[–]btmalon 0 points1 point ago

Interested, if I'm not too late to the game.

[–]iggyfenton 0 points1 point ago

Please send me an invite as well.

[–]KTrout17[S] 0 points1 point ago

I don't have any invites yet, I'm really not looking to necessarily run this, or at least not on my own. I'm really just looking for people to get together and organize this out with me.

[–]tallowspammo 0 points1 point ago

I just found this, and am now giddy with excitement. I'm gonna read through the thread and learn about all the information, but I want to help!!!!

Edit: I'm in!

[–]greihing 1 point2 points ago

I'd very much like to join. very active too.

[–]owned_at_worms 0 points1 point ago

I'll play in a league if there is a spot available.
