Welcome to our first year drafting as a keeper league! Lots of details will be shared here over the next two weeks. I'm convening a commissioner meeting this Sunday to discuss and determine how we want our league to run and set the rules for this season. After this meeting, one of us will share the information so you guys know how the league will work.
My co-commissioners this season will be 820 (Bill), Odell Keeps Having Fun (Brendan) and 46&2 (Sean)
I set up and sent out invitations to LeagueSafe this afternoon. You should all have received invitations to set up an account where you can pay your buy-in. This service (been around over a decade) will manage everything for us including collecting payments and payouts at the end of the season. For those of you in both leagues, this will make it very easy as we are using LeagueSafe for both. You will only need one account but will see both leagues in that account.
The first regular season game is on Sep 7th (Thurs). I would like to set our draft for Friday Sept 1, Saturday Sept 2 or Sunday Sept 3rd. Please let me know your thoughts about what day works best. Payments MUST be in PRIOR to draft day...NO exceptions.

5 teams have already paid into LeagueSafe! Thank you for taking care of this so fast!
Payment deadline is August 25th.
Commissioner meeting is this Sunday at 5pmEST. All the rules will be shared after that call.

OK, it's time to select a day and time for our draft. For those of you in both leagues, I just set Sunday 3rd Sept at 5pmEST for the other (non keeper) league. When do you guys want to do this draft?
We could do the same day (Sunday Sept 3rd) at 8pmEST if that works for everyone?

I can do that 9/3 Sunday at 8pm since the draft in the other league on here is earlier in the day.

Hi all, a quick message from your commissioners (myself, Penn State and Gmen0820). You will see that the league has been finalized and we have set the Keeper Rules. Basically there are three things to know.
Firstly based on the result of the poll you are allowed to keep up to 2 players from your prior team. Please note that the app will not prevent you from keeping more than two, so please do not choose more. You are welcome to keep 1 or 0.
Secondly you will lose the draft position in the round where your player was selected last year. For example if you decide to keep a player who was selected in the 2nd round you will no longer have a pick in that round. If your player was not drafted then you lose the last pick of the draft.
Thirdly you must have your keepers in by the end of day August 25. Otherwise you won’t be able to have any keepers.
In addition to the above we increased the amount of playoff teams to 6 (from 4).
Please let us know if you have any questions.
PS there are still a few payments missing

Now that we have all of the keeper rules in place and the keeper selection deadline is Aug 25th, I'm moving the payment deadline up a few days to August 21st.
This will allow us to set the draft order on the 22nd and share it with you prior to the keeper deadline. You will want to know your draft position PRIOR to making your keeper selections. As an example, you might not want to keep a player you drafted 12th in the 1st round last year if you have the first pick in this year's draft.
Again, payment deadline is now August 21st...NO EXCEPTIONS!
I seriously don't expect this to be a problem, given the great group we have here. Having said that, I'm not chasing anyone and we can't hold up the league. Therefore, If you don't pay by the deadline, I will replace you on the 22nd. I have a few guys on the MB who really want to be in this league and are willing to pay same day.
We only have 3 unpaid owners as of today, so a big "thank you" to all of you who paid early!
Scott, Sean and Bill

What's the buy in officially? I will take care of mine via PayPal or whatever we are using before I leave town this weekend.

I had fun last season hopefully I draft good this year. Question: Can we trade in the offseason? Can we trade for keeper? Can we trade draft picks for keepers if a team has keepers another team wants? |

Can we trade draft picks for keepers if a team has keepers another team wants? Ill discuss with our 2 co-commissioners later tonight. My gut says not this season because it’s our first keeper season, YAHOO IS VERY limited in its support for keeper leagues so all of these things would have to be tracked manually. Even the keeper selection process is a manual job for commissioners. If we want to trick up the rules (I’m excited to do so as league goes forward) we will have to switch to another format like sleeper. |

I don't want to make the league complex that is not fun playing. Just seeing the options to build a better team. I would love to flip a keeper or two for some mid round picks. |

I don't want to make the league complex that is not fun playing. Just seeing the options to build a better team. I would love to flip a keeper or two for some mid round picks. Hey Blue, we discussed this a little bit tonight. I think these types of moves would mostly be rendered moot with only two keepers, and very challenging to support manually on Yahoo’s platform. But I think that if we all have a good experience again this year, and people have the bandwidth for an extra league, perhaps a GMB dynasty league can be explored for next season for those interested in more of that “GM experience,” so to speak. A dynasty league is where that multi-year management can be maximized the most. There are also a lot more resources for people to make informed management decisions, and platforms specially equipped to handle these types of leagues. For what it’s worth, I personally don’t think I’d be interested in a dynasty league. I’ve played in one and it’s a very different experience. I think the way we’ve set up this keeper league, with 2 players kept, is a very nice balance of rewarding shrewd (read: mostly lucky, lol) who get good values in the draft, while also keeping everyone in win-now mode. Just my $.02  Anyway, here’s the draft order everyone - best of luck to everyone! 1 Tucker 2 0820 3 Mr. Fantasy 4 Rico Suave 5 46&2 6 Home for he Golladays 7 BronxBomberblue 8 Buddah Squad 9 Odell keeps having fun 10 Blazers 11 Reach for the Kyler 12 Team Top Shotta |
