[FF]: Crazy Concept: IRI FF Auction Draft

[Koko Ed]

So crazy it could work? Thoughts?

[Basel A]

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.

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.

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

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.

I didn't like it.. lol.. It was my first time, and I screwed up..

[Chris is me]

We did it in 2009, it worked great. I picked 1625 :3

I'm in. Last time we used AIM and did it live.

I'd be up for it, I think it will add more thinking to the draft than "who's the best team left?"

[bduddy]

I don't normally participate in FF, so forgive me if I'm missing something, but the system where each person has 3 "slots" doesn't really seem to make sense in an auction system, considering anyone can end up with any team... maybe it's just me, though. I also think that in something like FIRST where there are no positions (unlike most sports), it could be interesting if people could bid for as many or as few teams as they wanted to.

[Koko Ed]

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.
