Now, our keeper league. I have sent invites directly from Yahoo! to everyone that participated last year. I will probably send some pm's or something as well. For anyone that did not participate in the keeper league last year, please let me know if you are interested! If space frees up then I will let anyone interested in joining know.
Last year we agreed (I think) on a new set of more complex rules regarding keepers. Here are the rules:
- Up to three players can be kept
- Keeping a player means giving up a draft round equal to the round the players was drafted last year (in our league) + 1.
Example: John Wall was drafted 6th last year. Team X can keep him by giving up the 5th round pick this year.
- If keeping two or more players and they make it so that the same draft round is forfeited, then the additional player can be kept by giving up an additional higher round (so +2 for two, +3 for three...)
Example: John Wall and Kyle Lowry were drafted in round 6 last year. Team X owns them both. They can be both kept by giving up the 5th round pick and 4th round pick this year.
- However, if two or more players make it so that the first round is forfeited, only one of them can be kept.
Example: Team X has both Lebron James and Kevin Durant, which were drafted in the first round last year. Only one of them can be kept this year.
- A player can be kept by the same team for up to 2 years. If the players was a first round pick the year before, that player can only be kept 1 year (giving up the first round pick for the year being kept).
Example: Team X drafted Lebron James last year in the 1st round. He can be kept again by giving up the first round pick, but cannot be kept next year by Team X.
Note: Last year's draft can be found
here.
Let me know if I missed something, or if anyone think any changes should be made.
For returning teams: You can choose your keepers from the "Choose Keepers" section under "My Team". The deadline to choose keepers manually is
Friday, October 18 Wednesday, October 23. This is to allow me time to approve keepers, make changes and give us flexibility on draft time.
Draft time is tentatively set for
Saturday, October 26 8pm EDT. Please let me know
as soon as possible if this does not work for you, so we can find the most appropriate time where most of cause can attend (note that the Yahoo apps allow for mobile drafting if it comes to that).
