We have two waivers...
Blind Bidding (each team gets X amount each year of fake $ to spend) and we open up Blind Bidding Tuesday at 8am cst and then it closes 2-3 days later (changes for holiday and Thursday night games). Then a First Come First Served waiver system starts Friday at 8am cst and closes on Sunday at 11 am cst. Works well... we run a dynasty contract based league and it handles everything. 27 Roster spots with IDP... very easy.

I've never done the Blind Bidding - does record or waiver order come into play with it at all or is it simply X player outbid Y player? |

Our league is a dynasty league with a salary cap... so, each year every team gets a new 'fake $200' to spend on FAs every week. They can carry over any unused $ to the next season. So, during the Blind Bidding - the highest bidder wins ... if 2 teams bid the same amount, I believe it goes with the timestamp of the first bidder. It's really easy. Plus, we have 26 "active" roster spots (including IDP) - two Taxi (rookie) spots - 3 IR spots... so, in total you could have 31 players with your franchise, but only 26 are active. The IR guys are out for a minimum of 3 weeks. The Taxi Squad is where you can hide a rookie for the year, not give him a contract until the next season... but if you Taxi someone you can't play them this year. I have Mike Williams and Moeaki on my Taxi ... but that's cool because next year, my depth will rock. So, while the $200 annually can seem like a bit much, it's really a good amount.

How do you go about setting the value of players?
I'm curious because I'm going to try to set up a dynasty league for next season - looking for some idea's. EDIT: Also, is your idea of a dynasty league carrying over your entire team from year to year? |

Are you planning on making it a paid dynasty league Plow?

Well depending on the cost.....I might be interested. I've always wanted to play in a dynasty league but they're always tough to get into.

If you want the rules we use for Dynasty - pm me your addy and I'll send.
Our dynasty league is in Year 2. So, we had the big 28 round draft to cover your 26 actives and then 2 Taxi Spots. Every year we have a 4 round Rookie/FA Veteran draft - and it's a worst to first order for drafting in each round, like the NFL. You don't have to drop anyone from your roster, unless you want to draft. We have a 125 year salary cap - you can call it dollars, years - doesn't really matter. Max contract is 6 years - the trick is getting the right player at the right time. And, not loading up on too many high contract guys. You want 4-6 guys at 1 year so you can drop them for FA's during the season and not take a big penalty hit. Again, I can send you the rules or possibly just link the site. Hold please - let me do that...

Just PM'ed you the link ... decided not to post for the masses. Rules are critical in all money leagues - especially crazy keeper/dynasty leagues.

Plow - after you looked at the rules, tell me if you had the same "holy sh*t" response that the other owner had when we started. They were a bit overwhelmed at first, but - it works and you're about 98% loophole proof when you nail things down like that.
Sure, things still come up, but not many.
