Avatar League (24-Team Limited Live Draft) Chat Thread

[RiggoDrill]

[quote:b8169f7bcd="The Turtle"]I filled out my draft card and have come to the realization that an 80m league is more than possible with a 24-team setup. Maybe I will start one later with a draft on diamond dope, a bit later.[/quote:b8169f7bcd]
I will join an 80 mil league in a nanosecond, and for 80 mil, believe me, I will definitely make my picks! 8-)

Sounds like we won't be loading tonight. I'll get me team in over the weekend.

i'd do an 80 mil 24 team league as well.

Glad to see RiggoDrill checked in so he knows we should be getting ready to submit teams.

Something to think about if you try a 24-team $80 million league:

If you take the 336 (24 X 15) highest paid hitters and 264 (24 X 11) highest paid pitchers and divide their salaries up by 24, you come up with $75.923 million per team. So you probably should get teams to commit to keeping their salaries capped at $76 million. Otherwise you'll likely have some teams ending up near $80 million, while others are down aroung $72 million.

This doesn't include the "fluke" cards SOM decided to include as an option now. They would probably allow you to boost up the salary cap, but I haven't downloaded the spreadsheet with those cards included yet, so I am not sure how much they would bring the equitable salary level up.

By the way, we are NOT using the fluke cards in this league.

Still waiting for Mark (kramed) and MerkelBlunder to make their stadium picks. MerkelBlunder, you can go ahead and make your pick; Mark missed his time last night.
