3) Your score for that event is XX (agreed upon number or percentage) below the lowest scoring picking player.
Those would probably just be starting points. Loopholes would have to be closed for this.

Basically, I want zero, repeat zero, teams in that particular draft. So the first two points are fine. But, I would rather be "with the pack"--that is, I don't want to lose position because I don't participate in a draft. (You'll have to trust me when I say that I have a really, really good reason not to play in that particular draft.) That puts the third point as unacceptable--I have seen players that are within 20 points of each other in final pre-champs score, no joke.
What about some score determined by
unpicked teams? Naturally, FF players will pick the top teams wherever possible, but there's the offchance for a fluke. Average the unpicked teams, multiply by X (where 2<X<=3)?
