I am proposing a 10 owner auction style draft with each member having 7 teams. Scoring will be based on draft position, elimination finish and qualifying record (If available). Each owner will have 100 points to use to buy teams in an auction style. The draft will take place on a day and time agreed upon by the owners after the team list has been formalized for IRI. It will also take place via AOL Instant Messenger in a chat room.

Love fantasy auction leagues…
My first pick is team 46. 
I just won.
I will offer 100 points for Team 46! Who could let such legends get into your hands!
On a serious note this would make more sense being done in IRC, but AIM works too.
The league is closed
this sounds like a cool twist to FF. let me know how it pans out, I’m disappointed I’ve been too busy to be on CD lately
Sounds like there is an opening afterall. If so, I’m in.
I would like to make a suggestion, I know we are planning on doing live bidding, but i’m wondering if there is a way to do bidding through posts, and set a final call date.
Example. I bid the following amount of points, for the following teams listed in order by lowest number team.
67--------Barry Bonzack—15
68--------Barry Bonzack—14
71--------Barry Bonzack—14
111-------Barry Bonzack—14
217-------Barry Bonzack—15
1114------Barry Bonzack—14
1625------Barry Bonzack—14
If someone wants them more than I do, they replace their name with mine and the new high bid, and add any other bids in numeric order.
Rules:
You can not bid for more than 7 teams at one time.
You can not bid for more than 100 points at one time.
No decimal points - bid in whole numbers only
This is not kicking off this bidding system, I just wanted to discuss the option. If the point of this league was to involve real-time bidding in a chat room format, then this system will not work. If the goal of the league is to innovate a new way to select teams for FF, then its worth discussion.
Just to let the league know, my CD username has been changed to Ericgehrken.
Will we still be drafting tommorrow even though the final team list hasn’t been posted?
I would prefer we wait until we get the final team list. I think if the draft is before, the results may be determined by who has insider information or who is faster to snatch up the new team, instead of actually knowing the teams.
I agree, I would like to postpone the draft until next tuesday (if the list is posted soon). I apologize for the inconveniences this may cause. Either PM me or respond here if that is ok.
@Barry I would like this to be a live draft, to have a more social aspect to this league.
