Results For Mixed Auction Leagues

[Greg Ambrosius]

Several people have called or e-mailed to ask for Mixed Auction League results from last year. Unfortunately, we didn't have any mixed auction leagues in 2004. In fact, I'm not sure of another event that runs mixed auction leagues.



I believe Ron Shandler's Xperts Fantasy League, which is now in its third year and held each October at his Arizona Fall Symposium, is the only industry mixed auction league in existence. We started it in 2002 and held our third auction in October. It was a 12-team keeper league and we expanded to 15 teams this year with three expansion franchises. The dollar values from that league aren't precisely what you can expect on Draft Day in the NFBC, but it's a good guide nonetheless. Here's the link to that league:

Remember, it's a keeper league, but at least you'll see what some of the top stars go for on Draft Day. Mixed Auction Leagues are very different from AL-only and NL-only auction leagues because there are so many good $1 players left at the end. As a result, superstars go for much more in Mixed Auction leagues.



If you have any questions, post them here. I'm not an expert here, but I want more people to enjoy this Mixed Auction League offering and I think the XFL's results can help.
