Dynasty League Football Forum

A Buddy and I were thinking about a league where the rookie draft would be an auction style. How much money would you give the teams based on $1,000? It has to scale for the bad teams to have more money but how much? Any thoughts are appreciated!

#1 being worst team and #12 being league champion:
1: $1000

Anyone run a league like this ?

So I've been part of a long running auction league. The league is NOT salary cap. Winning a player at auction means the same as selecting him in a draft, he is yours until you trade or drop him.

This league has been around for 15 years. It has had its share of good and bad teams rising and declining.

We give the league champion 50% of the money that the last place team gets.

Cool idea.

One thought I had is look at various trade calculators, input 1.01, 2.01, 3.01, tally up the points. Give the last place team that many dollars. 1.12, 2.12, 3.12 total to champ

Edit: by dlfs tool, giving last place 1k, champ gets 414. I think that could work, and we have a poster with something real close too.

I think you’d have to make rookie auction dollars tradable in this format?

Joined new 14-team league last season that's all auction and just wrapped our 1st rookie draft a couple weeks back. Our works like this:

• Auction dollars are tied to picks

• Lottery element for top picks

• Bonus 1.15 for Toilet Bowl winner (~ mid 2nd)

• Trade picks throughout season

• Once draft order locks, move to trading dollars

Money breakdown looks like the below:

^^ It looks like your league's dollar values are coming down fast after the 2nd or 3rd pick. Based on the last 10 years of our rookie auction, that may imply you can get a lot of value by trading back! Below is the average money spent for the top 20 rookies each year in the league I've been referencing:

(Cost of the 1.01 has been normalized to $100)
Pick Cost
1____$100
2____$76.6
3____$68.2
4____$64.9
5____$61.1
6____$54.1
7____$47.0
8____$43.5
9____$41.3
10___$37.6
11___$35.0
12___$33.9
13___$31.7
14___$30.2
15___$28.3
16___$27.6
17___$25.6
18___$23.7
19___$22.0
20___$20.8

So the #20 rookie sells for (on average) 1/5th of the top overall player.

make sure you do 3-4 rounds of picks, all with different values. If you only do 12 lump dollar amounts you can't really trade picks in season

Hey guys,

What site do you host this rookie auction draft on, where you can do custom values? Struggling to find a site!

Thanks

anyone with experience in these, how often is the player won more expensive than his slot $$ amount? i.e. highest bid player vs slot amount for the 1.01. I have only 1 rookie auction of experience and the players were over slot until about 11/12 range and then were under slot with another big drop around 24/25th drafted player. I'm curious if this is similar to other leagues or if owners get weighted to the slot amount.
