It does matter at the end for six rounds.

Most auction leagues in the country do reserve rounds for their benches.

I know GG, here's a new proposal you can pitch: FAAB for the six reserve picks. Or better yet, live auction for the six reserves using your $1,000 FAAB at the event!!! They weren't good enough to go for more than $1 at the end of the auction, but could they go for $30 of FAAB in the reserve auction? Could be interesting.

I doubt most veteran auction guys would switch from the normal auction and reserve draft, but I'm willing if the masses want it.

GG don't get your panties in a bunch over such a small thing.

IF Greg wants to change this I agree that the reserves could be bid on out of the FAAB budget. The only other alternative to drafting them would be a separate budget for the reserves.

OTOH, you could change the draft order - my AL keeper league bases the draft order for the reserves on the order in which the franchises complete their 23 man roster (helps speed things up a little and randomizes it again). Of course Greg's accountants would say award it by when they pay their league fees.........

the only reason is because it may take forever to do more auctions at the end, but I am all for it....wether FAAB or 10$ extra - what exactly is wrong with $10 extra BTW???
