Dusty Diamond League will use a Live Auction Draft for our 1st Year Draft and in future drafts.
Live Auction Draft - Managers take turns nominating a player and all managers can bid for that player using a budget. Top bid wins the player.
Pretty simple definition so it should be clear what we are doing, any questions please ask.
There is a random nomination order, so you might be the first team to nominate a player, but that doesn't mean you automatically get them, you have to have the highest bid to win the player. As you acquire players at the bid prices your budget will reduce so have a strategy and spend wisely. You have an "In Draft Budget of $300" to draft 30 players, you must draft 30 players on the day of the draft. If you are unavailable or need to leave the live draft at any point you can have preset dollar values for players and leave your team on auto pick. If you don't put the preset values it will go by Yahoo's Default so you risk missing out on the player. Realistically the best thing is the be there, because you never know how a draft will go, but I have seen some great teams fielded via preset values and auto pick.
In future years we will have the same draft system, but you will have up to 15 Keepers from the previous year so your starting budget will be adjusted accordingly. Hence you will have less money to spend, but also less players to draft.
