Here is my idea. we'll have a 6 round (variable) draft. It will be 100 Mil Dh with a hard 10% cap.

1st round is for Teams and will have a random order.

2nd thru 6th round will football style in order from lowest salaried Main Team to highest. We will not recalculate for each round order is set after round 1. These round are for players on teams no selected.

The draft rounds are variable, depending on how much your main team is worth. Here are the teams:

[list:4613aab956][*:4613aab956]Team Total
[*:4613aab956]ARI 69,710,000
[*:4613aab956]ATL 77,720,000
[*:4613aab956]BAL 56,680,000
[*:4613aab956]BOS 86,180,000
[*:4613aab956]CHC 67,420,000
[*:4613aab956]CHW 52,850,000
[*:4613aab956]CIN 62,990,000
[*:4613aab956]CLE 85,000,000
[*:4613aab956]COL 85,070,000
[*:4613aab956]DET 76,150,000
[*:4613aab956]FLA 56,080,000
[*:4613aab956]HOU 50,210,000
[*:4613aab956]KC 45,480,000
[*:4613aab956]LAA 71,150,000
[*:4613aab956]LAD 65,060,000
[*:4613aab956]MIL 61,820,000
[*:4613aab956]MIN 54,020,000
[*:4613aab956]NYM 70,600,000
[*:4613aab956]NYY 72,400,000
[*:4613aab956]OAK 66,010,000
[*:4613aab956]PHI 79,090,000
[*:4613aab956]PIT 55,120,000
[*:4613aab956]SD 74,690,000
[*:4613aab956]SEA 60,650,000
[*:4613aab956]SF 55,490,000
[*:4613aab956]STL 74,360,000
[*:4613aab956]TB 59,920,000
[*:4613aab956]TEX 48,330,000
[*:4613aab956]TOR 69,990,000
[*:4613aab956]WAS 55,670,000
[/list:u:4613aab956]

So here are the brackets on how many picks you get:

40-60: 5 picks
60.01 - 67: 4 picks
67.01 - 74: 3 picks
74.01 - 80: 2 picks
80.01+: 1 pick

so yes, if you draft a cheaper team you a) get to draft higher up, EVERY round and b) get more picks. But you have less base talent to work with.

After the draft, we load with 4 highest total salary (team + picks) in the east, then on down to lowest in the west.

[color=red:4613aab956]Draft picks are not changable[/color:4613aab956]. Your base team and picks are yours and yours alone. There is no trading. You can move your players (base team + picks) in and out of your lineup as much as you wish, but there is no changing of those players with other teams or other FA's.

Well we'll see of this idea flies or not.

I'm not exactly sure I get it.. but it sounds fun anyway. Since I cant find a keeper to join.. I'll try this!

Well.. I decided to start a keeper of my own instead.. so I am out.

Thanks anyway.
