[FF]: Taking Fantasy FIRST To the Next Level

[Alex Cormier]

One thing i would highly reccomend is a lock system for regionals. The league can only start at a certian date, so we don't have ot deal with what happneeded this year. a huge explosion of FF leagues and a lot of people joining. then the draft comes along and most forget what league thier in and the draft times are very close to each other and such. so i say, if possible have a system where you can't do a FF for like a last week regional before ship date.

I figured I couldn't make judgment on this until I participated/ran a league. Now that I'm doing both, I think its safe to say the system as it stands is BROKEN!

We NEED these improvements!

Here is another "edge" I just thought of for later in the life of Fantasy FIRST. Silent/open auction drafting. I'm not sure if anyone else has ever seen this in other "fantasy" games, but pretty much here is how it works:

Each player is alloted a certain amount of money/coins/whatever (100 for example). Then drafting goes on for 1 week (or another set time.) then, people place bids on teams they want on their team. The only different in a silent auction draft from an open auction draft is that in the silent you do not see what others are biding, so you must decide how much a certain team is worth to you. Each player can have up to 4 teams with a minimum of 1. And if at the end of the auction you end up with no teams because you did not win any of the "auctions" then you can pick a team(s) from the open pool (the left-overs) for free.

What about just simply approaching Yahoo and see if they can design a Fantasy FIRST app to their Fantasy Sports pages.
The worst thing they can say is no.
