[FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

So crazy it could work? Thoughts?

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

I don't think it would work for any event other than IRI. Almost anywhere else, teams would bid all their "money" on the top few teams. IRI is deep enough that teams would have a reason to grab from the middle tier instead of just the top. I'd definitely be up for it.

No way I'm doing this for any other event. The way I have it set up the draft woul,d take 6 hours. I'm not interested in doing six hour drafts every night in November and December.

I like it

Do it!

Do it! :D

There was no doubt I was doing it. I just wanted to know what you guys think and if you have any good ideas to steal.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

So the basic premise would be every player gets $100 credit to pick three teams. Max bid allowed is $98 (you have to have at least $1 to submit a bid). When your turn is up you submit the team you want and the opening bid (from $1 to $98). For the next five minutes other members can apply bids for that team. If One member puts up $98 they win the bid (but they will only have $2 to play with for the rest of the draft). When the five minutes are up the highest bid wins the team. Real simple.

To make the draft exciting, the auction order doesn't have to be disclosed at all.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

hah?

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Now that I think about it, it was kind of irrelevant, sorry.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Yeah. I don't think hiding who is picking really matters. Now who gets to pick first or last doesn't matter! The Randomizer is dead! All Hail the Randomizer!

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

If there were 72 teams @ IRI again this is what the draft would look like:

1..........12pm..........3:55..........4pm
2..........12:05.........3:50..........4:05
3..........12:10.........3:45..........4:10
4..........12:15.........3:40..........4:15
5..........12:20.........3:35..........4:20
6..........12:25.........3:30..........4:25
7..........12:30.........3:25..........4:30
8..........12:35.........3:20..........4:35
9..........12:40.........3:15..........4:40
10.........12:45.........3:10..........4:45
11.........12:50.........3:05..........4:50
12.........12:55..........3pm..........4:55
13.........1pm...........2:55..........5pm
14.........1:05..........2:50..........5:05
15.........1:10..........2:45..........5:10
16.........1:15..........2:40..........5:15
17.........1:20..........2:35..........5:20
18.........1:25..........2:30..........5:25
19.........1:30..........2:25..........5:30
20.........1:35..........2:20..........5:35
21.........1:40..........2:15..........5:40
22.........1:45..........2:10..........5:45
23.........1:50..........2:05..........5:50

That draft would be fun.

Re: [FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft
 

Doing a couple of Fantasy Football Auction drafts were so much fun I wanted to try it with an off season draft. Six hour draft time is going to keep me from doing that for the regular season. I'll further develope the rules for it.
