9 solid owners - excited to see who else we get in

So, it starts with a draft right, so the franchise we pick is just for stadium correct?

Yes

While clearing off a very dusty old desk just now, I noticed a printout of Rounds 4-25 of the original CDL draft, from November 2005. Odd, in many ways. And obviously my wife is correct when she complains that I need to clean more often.

Lol, nice!!

Plenty of room left. What are you waiting on?

I wonder if some people are holding off till after WISC?

I envisioned this idea as a league where you bid on every player, not just Free Agents. Rewarding teams that lose with the top picks doesn't have to be done if you have a bid system and ALL players, Free Agents and Rookies, are available to bid on. That is what is holding me back.

The problem with that is, if a team has a bad year, they won't be able to win any of the good players. So, they will continue to be bad.

Everyone can have the same amount of bid money or points to use for bidding. Why does a bad team continue to be bad under that system? Everyone would have a choice to make, regardless of bidding on Free Agents or Rookies. Build for the now or the future. Your choice. Attach a contract for 1 year or short term, the now, or 7 years, long term, the future. Again your choice.
If you have a bad year you are only going to stay bad if you tied up bad players long-term. Your choice.

This league rewards teams for winning during the F.A. bidding. Helps to prevent tanking for the top pick.

It's also nice that teams have an incentive to squeeze out as many wins as they can, to gain more free agent credits. It was loads of fun in the first incarnation of this league.
Epup did an amazing job handling the free agent bidding when this league was around before. People started putting in complicated contingency bids, and I don't remember him ever complaining. I don't know how he kept them straight, and kept it running in a timely fashion.

It helps I am a night owl, so I have time to go through all those bids & then re-check them all.

I would take the Milwaukee Brewers
