Where this is a higher entry-fee league, and looks to be a perennial cash cow (returning players etc.) I would think the payout, at least for anything like an Internet draft would be higher than 80%, more in line with the Ultimate Leagues.



Set up and admin costs should be roughly the same for all leagues.



I can't think that the $100 leagues are much better than break even, or even loss leaders, but once you get up to $500/$1000 leagues the entry fees have multiplied by 5 or 10 but the fixed costs are, well, um, er, fixed.



Anyway, let's get these bad boys on the road.

KEEPER LEAGUE RULES



1. ROSTERS

a) A team's active roster consists of the following 23 players: 5 outfielders, 2 catchers, 1 second baseman, 1 shortstop, 1 middle infielder, 1 first baseman, 1 third baseman, 1 corner infielder, 1 utility hitter, and 9 pitchers.



b) Teams will also have a 7-man reserve roster, which will be acquired after the primary draft or auction through a serpentine draft.



c) In addition to the 7-man reserve roster, each team will have an additional 3-man minor league reserve roster, which will be acquired through a serpentine draft. Any player with minor league eligibility that was not previously taken can be drafted.



d) Activating a minor league player to a team’s active roster would require a corresponding player drop to comply with that team’s 30-player major league roster. A team can choose not to activate a minor leaguer, even if he is called up to the majors, thus preserving his minor league status for the following year. However, if placed on an active roster for one scoring period, he loses his minor league status. Once activated, a player acquired in the minor league draft will carry a $5 keeper value in an auction league, or a 15th round draft value in a draft league. Minor league keepers may be kept indefinitely until activated by their owner. The first year in which they are activated becomes year-1 of their 3-year major league keeper eligibility.



2. KEEPERS

a) Each team may retain up to 8 keepers per season. Any individual player may be kept for as many as 3 seasons, after which he would return to the league’s player pool.



b) Each team may also retain up to three minor leaguers (in addition to their 8 keepers). However, any minor league keepers will reduce that team’s number of minor league draft choices by an equal number (at the back end of their draft choices) such that no team can have more than 3 players with a minor league contract at any time. Only minor-leaguers that: (1) were taken in the minor league draft, and (2) have not been activated by their team’s owner, will be eligible as minor league keepers.



c) For draft leagues, any keeper that was drafted will take the place of that team's draft pick for the same round in which he was drafted. Any keeper that was a free agent pickup will take the place of that team's 11th round draft pick, or highest available pick after the 11th round. (Example: If a team kept his 11th and 13th round picks and two free agents, the free agents would take the place of his 12th and 14th round picks. The players' contracts, however, would not change to the lower round, even if they were kept for a lower round pick).



d) For auction leagues, any keeper that was purchased in the auction will retain his auction value. Any keeper that was taken in the reserve round will replace that same pick in the current reserve round. Any keeper that was a free agent pickup will have a $10 value.



e) Roster deadlines for declaring keepers each season will be:

(1) Four weeks prior to the draft or auction date each season, rosters must be reduced from 30 players to a list of up to 12 potential keepers.

(2) One week prior to the auction or draft date each season, rosters must be reduced to no more than 8 keepers (and up to 3 minor league keepers). From this deadline forward until the draft begins, any player(s) may be dropped (but not replaced).



f) A reserve round keeper in an auction league cannot fill one of the required positions on the 23-man active roster during the auction unless the owner at his option assigns that player a $1 salary, in which case he would take an active roster spot for the auction. Such a request must be submitted along with final roster cut, and is irreversible for future years (player will retain $1 salary).



3. AUCTIONS & DRAFTS

a) An auction or serpentine draft (depending on league type) will be conducted to acquire major league players. Draft order for each league will be determined by an auction for draft slots using each team’s $1,000 annual free-agent acquisition budget (FAAB) prior to draft day (date TBD). Any FAAB dollars used for draft priority will reduce that team’s available dollars by a like amount for the remainder of the season. After the first season, the league money winners will not participate in slot bidding. Rather, after other slots are acquired, these teams will have their choice of remaining slots within each league in reverse order of their league’s respective standings the previous year, AND they will have the average number of FAAB dollars from all bidding teams within the respective leagues deducted from their FAAB budget.



b) The draft league order will be serpentine for all 30 rounds. The auction league order will apply to the nomination order (1-15 for all 23 auction rounds, not serpentine) and the 7-man serpentine reserve draft. The 3-player minor league draft will be serpentine in opposite order of the major league order for draft leagues, but in the same order as the major league order for auction leagues.



c) The pool of players that may be bid upon for the major league drafts includes members of every MLB team who are on a 40-man roster. Unsigned free agents are not draft eligible. A major lge draft eligible list will be distributed prior to the draft. Players eligible for the minor league reserve draft will be those players currently on a minor league roster AND meeting the following major league service time requirement for rookie honors: pitchers with less than 45 major lge IP, hitters with less than 130 major lge ABs.



d) For auction leagues, each team must acquire 23 players less the number of non-reserve-round major league keepers, at a total cost not to exceed 260 dollars less the cost of major league keepers. Teams will nominate players for bidding in a pre-determined order. The owner will announce the roster position that the player will fill, although he may move that player during the draft to another eligible position to accommodate other players selected. No owner may bid for a player who qualifies only at positions that are no longer available to him.



e) For draft leagues, each team must acquire 30 players less the number of major league keepers. Any keepers will replace that team’s draft selection for the round in which they were initially acquired, or as set forth above if multiple keepers have the same round designation.



4. PLAYER DROPS

a) Any player that is dropped from a roster prior to August 1 becomes part of the free agent pool for the next transaction period.



b) Players dropped on or after August 1, which were drafted in the 15th round or earlier in draft leagues, or were acquired for $5 or greater during auction for the auction leagues, are out of the player pool for the rest of the year.



5. TRADES & COLLUSION

To prevent collusion, trading is not allowed. No collusion of any kind will be tolerated, and no one may have ownership or any beneficial interest of any kind in more than one team within the same league.



6. SEASON-FORWARD DEPOSIT .

To help with continuity and owner replacement when necessary, team owners will be charged a $250 deposit on August 1 of each season for the following season. This deposit will be applied toward next season's entry fee. If an owner does not return, their deposit will go towards the replacement owner's entry fee for the following season. If an owner chooses not to post a deposit, he will forfeit his team on August 1, allowing a new owner to be recruited and manage the team for the remainder of the season upon posting the $250 team deposit.

--- or ---

A $100 surcharge (non-refundable) for a new owner's first year in the league only will be charged.

Can you take me off the list? I'd love to enter the league but I'll be drafting in NY. I'm not a big fan of the phone for an auction. Thanks

i guess the only thing i need clarified is the minor league player called up has a 15th rd draft value, that "value" is pertaining to should he get dropped from a team he would be ineligible to be picked up for the remaining of the season as a FA?

He could be picked up, but then would have FA value (11th rd).
