Draft and Hold 2022

[Laika]

Hey friends,

 

I made a best ball draft and hold league drafting tomorrow. Draft is 1:30 ET on Fantrax.

 

There are 6 people signed up right now and we need at least 4 more to make it worthwhile. But we can accommodate up to 14 more.

 

How it works:

 

- All you have to do is draft. There are no trades, and no add/drops. No year long commitment!

- You draft a 40 man roster. The pick clocks are 30 or 45 seconds so the draft will go fast.

- Each week the league automatically uses your optimal players. That's what best ball means. So if you have Kirk and Jansen and Kirk has more points, he is used as your C that week.

- The points system is crudely based on the value of real world stuff. Very crudely. Like, I took Fantrax's default best ball points system and just added categories for other events. But all you really need to do is draft good hitters and good pitchers and you will do well - it should NOT require hardcore thinking.

 

The cool thing about a best ball with 40 man rosters is you get to try to make a 40 man roster that will survive the season and thrive.

I'm in for a draft and hold...

We are at 10 so the draft is a go.

 

I'm open to any tweaks you guys think make sense. Look at the stat points and player values from last year, let me know if anything should be rebalanced.

 

Also, I think we might do DAILY auto lineups instead of WEEKLY. The default just had weekly but that's a bit articifial.

bump, could fit in a few more for tomorrow

Last call!

 

We have 11 but have room for a few more. I'll cap the league around noon hour ET.
