League Rules:

1)(this will change with the size of the league)it's going to be $25 per person
2)there will be payouts to the top 5 players of the league 1st - 100, 2nd - 50, 3rd, 4th and 5th- 25

just so you know how i came up with those numbers:
14 x 25 = 350
league   -125
payouts  -225(100+50+25+25+25)

3)Draft this year: yahoo is going to choose the random order, and we're going to do a typical serpintine draft consisting of 26 rounds.  The positions are: 2c, 1 1b, 1 2b, 1 ss, 1 3b, 1 MI, 1 CI, 5 OF, 1 Util, 7 P, 5 Bench, the inning pitched limit is 1350.

4)Scoring is going to be 5x5 standard roto (r, hr, rbi,sb, ba, w, sv, k, whip, era)

5)draft next year:

5a)keepers:everyone will be able to keep up to 5 players on this years team next year, for every person you keep, you lose a draft pick at the begining of the draft, below is a quick list, the 1st column is how many keepers you decide on, the 2nd column is the round that you begin the draft in.

keepers - 1st pick round
   0            1
   1            2
   2            3
   3            4
   4            5
   5            6

5b)draft order:to keep people out of contention interested the draft order will be decided by who finishes the best out of the payouts, i stole the system from espn's keeper leagues and i think it works well, below is a quick list of draft spot for next year followed by where you finish in the rankings this year.  ie 5th place gets the 1st pick in 2006

pick - place
  1  -  6
  2  -  7
  3  -  8
  4  -  9
  5  - 10
  6  - 11
  7  - 12
  8  - 13
  9  - 14
  10 -  5
  11 -  4
  12 -  3
  13 -  2
  14 -  1

6)trades:trades will be voted on by the league 4 no votes and the trade gets veto'd.  Also, your team is your team even in the off season, you can make trades up to 1 week before the draft, in the off season it will be done by email.

I think that just about covers everything.  any questions, concerns or comments just reply to this message
