[U]Scoring Type[/U]
Head to head total points, weekly matchups. Here is a link to [URL="https://support.espn.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058038711-H2H-Points-Playoff-seedings-How-Regular-Season-Standings-Tiebreakers-Work-"]ESPN's playoff seeding tiebreaker rules[/URL]

[U]Games started (pitchers) limit per matchup[/U]
Maximum limit: 13
[I]ESPN allows the limit to be exceeded as long as you start the final day of your matchup with less than the max starts. So if on Saturday I have used 12 starts and Sunday I have 4 pitchers starting, it will count all 4 of my starts even though that means I will end with 16 starts. I will not police this myself, but if you see that someone has gone over the max starts and let me know before the matchup is over, I will correct it by subtracting the points earned from the extra starts, starting with whichever game started last and moving backwards until it's back under the limit. If you see someone go over the max starts and want me to fix it, let me know. Otherwise, it will be allowed to happen.[/I]

[U]Matchup acquisition Limit[/U]
Maximum weekly limit: 3
Free agent adds will be turned off for the offseason at the conclusion of the [U]MLB[/U] regular season (not the end of the fantasy season). FA additions will become available again one week before the first matchups begin for the next season.

[U]Waivers/Trades[/U]
Waiver period: 1 day
No limit on trades
Trade deadline: [B]August 12 (2016)[/B]
Trade review period: 1 day
Draft picks may be traded in the offseason

[U]Keeper Limit[/U]
Maximum limit: 25
Deadline: The deadline to submit keepers will be announced each season. Typically this will be in late February with the draft beginning shortly after.

[U]Minor League Rosters[/U]
10 slots.

[U]Minor League Roster Eligibility[/U]
[B]Players are only eligible to be on your minor league roster if they have less than 65 at-bats or 25 innings pitched in the MLB.[/B] After they reach that mark, they must either be transferred to your major league roster, or dropped. This will be policed by a community effort by members of the league. I will not be checking minor league rosters daily to see if all players are eligible or not. Be diligent with your own team, let everyone know if it looks like someone ineligible is on roster, and we should be fine. If you see an ineligible player on roster, please post in this thread and we will get the issue fixed.

In the event of a prospect exceeding eligibility limits on prospect rosters, the team owner will have 1 week (starting from BOTH a PM and a post in either thread, which can be done by anyone) to decide if they are going to add the prospect to their ESPN roster. If this 1 week window passes without a decision being made from the team owner, that prospect will be placed on ineligible status and may not be added by any team, majors nor minors rosters, until the next offseason draft.

[U]Keeping track of who has who (minor league rosters)[/U]
I will keep an updated list of all minor league teams in the minor league thread ([url]http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/fantasy-baseball/961716-official-blowout-redrafters-dynasty-league-minors-thread.html[/url]). ESPN doesn't support prospect rosters easily, so we will have to do this outside of the league. This means that prospects will show up as free agents in the ESPN league, even if someone has claimed them to be on their team. [B]Thus, be sure to check the OP or the league home page before adding someone to make sure they truly are available.[/B] I don't want to have to revert a bunch of adds/drops because someone added a player that wasn't available, so please check before you add. If everyone takes care of themselves and checks before adding a player, we should be fine. If something accidentally happens, let us know and we will take care of it.

[U]Minor League Roster Transactions[/U]
[B]Dropping a player-[/B] Simply post in the minor league thread that you would like to drop "Player A" from your minor league roster, and I will update the OP accordingly
[B]Adding a player-[/B] If you have an open roster slot, you may add a player to your minor league team. Your new player must meet minor league eligibility (see requirements above), and they must be in the ESPN player pool. The minor league draft is the only time where players not in the player pool may be added to your minor league roster. If a player was added to the ESPN player pool midseason, they ARE eligible to be added (once again, provided they meet minor league eligibility). The one exception to this is for players being called up to make their MLB debut. After news breaks of this by a verified source (official team account, national or local reporter, etc), the player may only be added in ESPN, not by minor league claim. They can still be demoted to prospect rosters after, but must be added through ESPN.
[B]Promoting a player-[/B] If you would like to move a player from your minor league roster to your major league roster, simply post in the minor league thread that you would like to promote "Player B", and then add that player from the ESPN player pool to your roster thru ESPN (you must have space on your major league roster in order to do this). I will update the OP in our minor league thread accordingly to reflect changes. Promoting a prospect does count towards your weekly acquisition limit in ESPN
[B]Demoting a player-[/B] If you would like to move a player from your major league roster to your minor league roster, simply post in the minor league thread that you would like to demote "Player C" to your minor league roster, and then drop that player from your team on ESPN. I will update the rosters in our minor league thread accordingly. Please note that a demoted player must be eligible for minor league status in order to be demoted. It may be helpful to note when you demote a player in both threads, in case of teams wanting to claim a demoted player off waivers- It will appear in our league on ESPN that this is ok, but a demoted player is still on roster and is not eligible to be claimed on waivers by another team. It will just look odd since we can't keep track of a minor league roster on ESPN

[U]Draft[/U]
The draft will take place in late February or early March each year. We will discuss specific dates and start times each year. Draft will be held redraft-style here in the thread, and then I will manually import everyone's teams into the league. Your list of keepers (up to 25 from your major league roster, up to all 5 from your minor league roster) are due around 1 week before the draft each year. Again, we will discuss specific due dates each year. The major league draft will be held first each year, followed immediately by the minor league draft. If you don't use all 25 of your keeper slots, you will gain an extra pick at the end of the draft, following snake order determined by final standings from the previous season until everyone has filled all of their roster slots. You MAY have more than 5 draft picks in the draft after acquiring additional picks via trade. However, you must have space on your roster for each additional pick. For example, if someone ends up with 7 picks in the draft after trades, they will only be able to use a maximum of 23 keeper slots. If you don't have space on your roster for additional draft picks, you will forfeit draft picks (starting from your latest picks in the draft and moving towards your first picks) until you have space on your roster for all of your picks

Following the major league draft, we will have the minor league draft. The order of both drafts will be set by reverse final standings from the previous season including playoffs, following snake format

[U]Draft eligibility[/U]
[B]Major league draft-[/B] Only players in ESPN's player pool will be eligible to be drafted in the major league draft
[B]Minor league draft-[/B] Any player is eligible to be taken in the minor league draft, no matter if they are in the player pool or not (unless they are already on another team's roster), given that they meet minor league eligibility (<65 ABs or <25 IP)

[U]Changing rules/settings[/U]
All of the above have given us a pretty solid league, but there will always be times where we come across things that should maybe be added, removed, or changed. As a disclaimer, no settings will be changed in the middle of the season. Any changes will be implemented as early in the offseason as possible so we don't mess with any of the regular season and we give teams as much time as possible to adjust their teams for the next season. In the event of a possible change, an addition, removal, or modification of a rule or setting will be proposed to the league, we'll discuss it for a bit, and then we will vote on it. Majority rules on this vote, so whatever the majority decides is what we will do.

There will always be a team that benefits more than others from a change, and there will always be a team that is hurt or doesn't benefit as much as another. Know that no rules or changes will be made to specifically help or hurt a team's ability to be successful. All changes are made for the overall benefit of the league as a whole. The above process is put in place so the whole league has the opportunity to provide their input before we make a change to our system, nothing will come out of the blue without the chance for someone to argue against the change. As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or feedback towards any rules or this process in general, bring it up to me via PM, post in this thread, or post in the league on ESPN

Homerun 02-14-2015 02:06 PM

Sounds great to me. Let's get a mod to random the list of members interested and we can get this draft going.

EDIT: I think each person should send the winner a $10 card at the end of each season. It's not a huge deal, but I think the winner should receive some sort of prize.

Hollywood42 02-14-2015 02:13 PM

We actually don't need to worry about randoming the draft order, as ESPN will automatically do it for us an hour before the draft starts. But, if we want to be able to trade draft picks (discussion please), then we would have to get a mod to random us after everyone that wants to join has done so

Highroller 02-14-2015 02:27 PM

My suggestion would be to expand the rosters since this is a dynasty and there will be a lot of prospects drafted to give flexibility.

I'm in favor of having the draft order done early so we can trade picks, not a big deal though.

What Highroller said. You can take someone that is still 3 years away and just keep him on your bench until he's ready for the big leagues

Homerun 02-14-2015 07:41 PM

Can we start drafting now? Depending on how many members join, and how many rounds there are, this could take a pretty long time. I'm not sure it's a good idea to have the draft running still when the season starts. Just my opinion.

Well no I haven't lol. I assumed this was going to be like the redraft where it takes a long time. :o How does the ESPN one work?

Hollywood42 02-14-2015 10:21 PM

Yeah, draft will take 2-3 hours tops. Everyone logs in and joins a draft lobby (link will show up in the league home page like an hour before the draft). Then each person will have about a minute to a minute and a half to make their pick each time they're up. If they aren't in the draft lobby, it'll autopick somebody for them which takes about a second

SaveMeTheGum 02-14-2015 11:33 PM

I'm in fella's. I agree -- for Dynasty, we need to have a few extra spots to hold prospects. Not too many -- but maybe 5 more would be good. 10 seems like A LOT. There should be some accountability for holding prospects -- with 10, you don't even have to try, just hoard guys and a few would likely be good.

My only other issue is that the point systems seems WAY skewed towards pitching. A guy that hits 4 HR's in a game would likely have about 25 points, where as a pitcher who throws 6 shutout innings in a no decision with 7 strikeouts would also have 25 points. I'd either bump up the offensive points, or slightly lower the pitching points.

Hollywood42 02-15-2015 12:09 AM

I'm open for whatever. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I just signed on to league and looked over player rankings. I guess it's not as badly skewed towards pitchers as I thought. Point system looks good IMO after review.

Hollywood42 02-15-2015 12:20 PM

Edited the member list in the OP to see who has joined, who I have sent invites for, and who we are waiting on.

I've decided that to show decisions/announcements, I will do the following to catch everyone's eye. Side note, here is our first rule changes:

[B][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="7"]Announcement![/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]
Bench slots have been increased from 5 to 10 to allow for more prospects to be held

As always, if there is wide disagreement with rule changes, I can change them again. If I don't hear anything said about it, I'll assume everyone is ok with it and I'll keep the changes.



Also, we need to figure out a draft time. Obviously, we need everyone to join the league first, but if we could figure out a draft relatively soon, that would be nice- Only 50 days until Opening Day!

Homerun 02-15-2015 02:56 PM

As of right now, we have 11 teams. Do you guys think we should have an even number of teams? Otherwise, wouldn't there be 1 team with a bye each week? I'm not sure how that would work.

And thanks for clarifying about the draft time. I apologize for being so ignorant. I'm new to fantasy sports.

Hollywood42 02-15-2015 03:35 PM

Yes, it would be ideal to have an even number of teams so everyone has a matchup every week. But only 11 people have showed interest, and I didn't want to exclude anyone, so it's 11 for now. I'm still waiting to hear back from a couple people, so there's a chance that someone will no longer want in and then we will be back to an even number. We'll see what's up when I've heard back from everyone

Homerun 02-16-2015 01:00 AM

I am not sure if I am overlooking this or not, but are homeruns currently part of the scoring system? If they are not, I think they should be added. Maybe those could be worth 10 points each? I just think that is a big part of the game that should be included.

With the current point system, a solo HR would be 6 points. 1 RBI, 1 for runs scored, and 4 total bases.

I see 11. If there was 12 then I don't think there would be bye weeks. I also see 2 bye weeks on my schedule.

We are just waiting on D2R to join, and then we have everyone in and can proceed to the next step. Does someone want to PM him and remind him to follow the instructions in the e-mail invite I sent him? I would, but I have to get to class in a few minutes

Next order of business is twofold: Finalizing our points system, and determining a draft date. I'd like to get the points system set in stone before the draft, as it can effect people's drafting strategy. With the draft, I am thinking either this weekend (quick, but it would be out of the way and we could get trading), or the weekend of the 7th/8th. These are also 2 of the only weekends that would work for me before April.

Please let me know your thoughts on both points and the draft and we will get them both figured out as soon as possible. Thanks!

enbambam6986 02-17-2015 11:30 AM

I would be down for this Thursday or Friday.

Hollywood42 02-17-2015 11:38 AM

It is like that, it's just sneaky about it. Right now, there is 1 point per total base. So, single = 1 point, double = 2 points, triple = 3 points, home run = 6 points (4 total bases, 1 run scored, 1 RBI)


Would Friday night work for everyone? Sometime around 8 or 9 (central)?

[QUOTE=enbambam6986;8774452]I would be down for this Thursday or Friday.

Could we add extra base hits as a category? Seems like a lot of points for pitchers

Thursday nights will probably work for most teams

Hollywood42 02-17-2015 08:16 PM

Drafts I have done before have generally taken 1-2 hours, but those are with less players. I wouldn't think this would take more than 3 hours, but I can't say for sure. The 27th/28th wouldn't work best for me, so I'd like to avoid that if at all possible

We should try to get 1 more team in this so that there will be an even number of teams and no bye weeks for anyone.

As for the day of the draft, it doesn't matter to me. Since Hollywood created this league, we should have the draft whenever it's convenient for him.

This is probably the best solution at this point. It's just too hard for everyone to find a set time to do the draft on ESPN.

enbambam6986 02-18-2015 06:16 PM

Can you make a poll where we can vote on multiple times? Hopefully one of the times will have 11 votes

Highroller 02-18-2015 06:20 PM

I'm good either way. I think most of us are on here a lot. Can get this done quick.

Hollywood42 02-18-2015 08:11 PM

The only way to make a poll is for me to start a new thread... I'm going to try to figure this out right now, give me about 15 min

Hollywood42 02-18-2015 08:22 PM

I just sent everyone a PM asking them to vote on a poll in our league's page ([url=http://games.espn.go.com/flb/leagueoffice?leagueId=17436]Sign In - Free Fantasy Baseball - ESPN[/url]) on how we should do this draft- redraft style where we PM a mod for a draft order and then draft in this thread like we have done in the redrafts, or as usual in an ESPN draft lobby.

I'm open to either, but I think I'm leaning towards redraft style right now. It'd take longer, and we would need everyone to be attentive and pick when they are up, but it would work easier for everyone as we wouldn't need to find a time that works for 11 different people.

Regardless, please go vote on the poll in our league and I will let you guys know what ends up happening. Thanks!

Hollywood42 02-18-2015 08:33 PM

I might as well jsut keep this updated rather than posting a bunch of times:

10 votes in, 2 to go. Current standings:

5 votes- Redraft style
2 votes- ESPN lobby
3 votes- Whatever others want more

If redraft style or "whatever" option gets 1 more vote, we will start the draft redraft style as soon as possible as it would be impossible for ESPN lobby to catch up after that

Highroller 02-18-2015 08:37 PM

Are we going to go with 11 teams?

Hollywood42 02-18-2015 08:40 PM

Unless anyone is majorly opposed to it, yeah. Would like to keep it just redrafters. I will go post in the all-time redraft and see if anyone wants to join to make it an even 12 tho
