Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 So you know, most football leagues that use an auction system have a salary cap of $100, which must be maintained throughout the season. So you can't ditch your cheap guys for the expensive veterans someone else has without freeing up some cap room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Repost. Only because no one reads the bottom of pages in threads anymore. What are the fantasy auctioneer league login and league passwords? I signed up for the yahoo auction league, and now have an account with fantasy auctioneer, but don't have access to the auctioneer league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted July 21, 2004 ok I guess this is the "official" post YAHOO AUCTION LEAGUE - league is run through Yahoo like normal. League ID is 186645. Password is woot. - an auction means you will have X amount of dollars to bid on players, instead of drafting them - to join the auction, you'll have to register at a site called www.fantasyauctioneer.com - yes, it's free - rosters are 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D - for passing, 20 yards per point and 4 points for a TD - rushing and reciving, 10 yards per point and 6 points for a TD - Defense counts points allowed as well as sacks, turnovers, return TD's - 8 members so far ok, when I create the auction I have to give a date, so I'm not going to create it untill everybody can find a time that works for them. (because you can't make any sort of pre-rankings with this program, so you'll want to be there) I'll be sure to let everybody know when it's up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted July 21, 2004 by the way it's actually 9 players, significant in that Yahoo will wig out if we try to run a league with an odd number of teams. We need to run the auction in about a week before DA moves, does that work for everybody? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 7pm EST isn't good for me because I don't get off work until 4:30pm PST and then it takes me a good 30-45 minutes to manuever through traffic. However, I can make it to a PC to do an auction if it's at 8pm EST,5pm PST on a weekday. It's all the matter of 1 hour for me. That, or we could aim for a sunday morning/noon time?

Guest Soylent Green Is People Report post Posted July 22, 2004 For the auction, any time on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday would be easiest for me, but really i could make just about any time it's set for, i can get myself out of other things to make it if need be.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 4. If you are using a 56K modem or slower, you will be at a disadvantage when bidding against other league members with faster connections. Although 56K modems are still supported, we recommend you use a computer with DSL, cable modem, or faster when it is time for your auction. We also recommend that you test out this other computer beforehand to ensure all system requirements are met. Well darn. How many of you have connections faster than 26.4? Stupid question. And I guess Im gonna have to dig out IE since it doesn't seem to like Mozilla Firefox.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 I might not be able to make it friday..Im planning (depending on the weather which doesn't look too good for tomorrow) on going to the Delaware State Fair. Tomorrow is $1 entrance and $1 ride day from 1-5. Oh, and I got really lucky. I picked up Antowain Smith off the Waivers and yesterday he was signed by the Titans to replace Eddie George. I dont know how much he'll figure in the offense with Chris Brown but hopefully it will be enough to have him as a 3rd RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Just joined the auction league on the auction page....question? I know we're doing the auction on the auctioneer site, now how does that spill over to the yahoo league? Will we get a listing of the bid money we have left for FA's, WW, etc. or what? NOTE: Remember to check that the auction works for you people! Working for me now that I DLed that java thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted July 23, 2004 yes the two key things for the auction - only explorer or netscape - need java virtual whatever that's used for Yahoo drafts I'll have to enter all the players in myself, like when we did the offline draft for basketball. I'll keep track of extra cash too, although there's not much point in saving cash in the first place. waiver priority will be determined by your total payroll. In the case of a tie, I will consult an extremely scientific algorithim involving a coin of some sort. free agents will cost you all of $1. Which means you will never not be able to afford a pickup (but you still only get 14 players, regardless of how much they make) PS - here's a rule question for you: should guys on the IR count against the cap? I vote no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
