Draft Date

Aug 15, 2018

Draft date is set for Monday, 3rd of September at 6:00pm (MST)

I hope to have Rankings posted within the week. Once the rankings are posted, if the player gets injured, this list WILL NOT reset. So if a player you choose to keep gets injured before season starts, his cap number will not change. I will be reaching out to everyone over next week to select draft pick order and then shortly after that, the keeper players each team plans on keeping. So try to reply back as soon as possible.

Reminder:

• Clarification on keeping players for three years in a row... This applies if you kept a player. If you didn't keep them, but drafted them, then basically the 3 year resets from that year of draft. There are multiple teams that will not be able to keep certain players this year. Be sure and review.

Keeper League Rules:

1. Fifth Season of Keeper League (5 Years). Everyone has already agreed to commit for 5 years. We will talk about on draft day if we want to continue.
2. All teams can protect a max of (5) players; but no player can be kept more than (3) years in a row.
3. Can't keep any TEAM DEFENSE or Kickers, all other players are open to keep.
4. Drafting future years; kept players will be ranked using Yahoo's Ranking for the new year. This leaves it generic and out of one person's hands.
5. CAP Room for Keeper Players will be 299pts.
   • Top 150 Players (excluding DEF/Kickers) - Point rankings will be ranked as follows: 1st - 150pts, 2nd - 149pts, 3rd- 148pts, ... ... 148th - 3pts, 149th - 2pts, 150th - 1pt.
   • If you want player that isn't ranked in the top 150, his value is worth 1 pt.
   • Again, max players you can keep is (5).
6. Draft order for future years; Reverse order you finished in; you pick the draft number you want that is available. (i.e. Finished 10th; you can choose any of the 10 spots; 9th place, picks from remaining 9 spots; etc.)
7. Every year, early to mid August, I will grab the rankings and post values on the website. These values WILL NOT change up to our draft day.
8. At least one week before draft, you will decide what players you are going to keep so I can prepare the drafting software, and others can prepare their draft according to players that won't be drafted and players that will come off the 3 year terms.
9. Trophies for 1st place.

Yahoo League Setting Changes - ZERO Changes to scoring for 2018!

1. Injured Reserve (IR). Reason if you lose a keeper player for the year, you can still maintain him without losing him. Lose two or more, you must choose to either keep on your bench, or drop them. By adding this, you basically can hold on to one more player if injury occurs, doesn't have to be your keeper to use it.

Costs / Fees

1. $80.00 per team. ($75.00 for Winner Payouts / $5.00 to pay for trophies and shipping)
2. All player movements cost $0.25 and that money goes to toilet bowl winner. (Avg 25 movements) - winning go to Toilet bowl.

Pay Outs

1. 1st - $275.00
2. 2nd - $200.00
3. 3rd - $150.00
4. 4th - $125.00
5. Toilet Bowl - Money from waiver/trades

Reminders:

1. Life happens, and sometimes plans can change. If someone absolutely can't continue to play, let me know, and we will find a solution.
2. If someone drops out and they have to be replaced, I have a few people that really want in the league; best case scenario that person coming in would take the person's spot.
3. How do we prevent someone from dumping players and losing on purpose to get the 1st pick the next year? The Commish's call. If I see it, you will be kicked out of the league. We have all been playing together enough years, we know how each person plays. We are committed to a keeper league for the improvement of the league. No need to sabotage it. So I'm keeping it simple... If you want to keep playing and maintain the friendships, then don't do it!
4. Mass hording players to prevent another person from picking up is not a strategy, it's playing with the bad attitude, and will be stopped.
