Looks good to me beerdog...you didn't leave yourself any pizza for trades, but you might be able to trade a player for some slices if you need to, specially if one of your lower-priced guys has a good week and someone wants to pick him up.

On Sunday I'll be posting another thread for players to list their active rosters for the upcoming week.

hmm ya, I think I am missing something, I guess I will lurk a bit and figure this out.

The only thing missing is that you don't have to spend all your slices at once. Nothing wrong with it, you just won't have as much to trade with if you choose to.

I think the trading bit is hard to understand until I see it.

Not sure how it will work when we have the same player already on multiple teams.

There will be 5 people wanting to sell if someone like Peavy or Bite pull out for some reason.

Yeah...I picture trading as just a deal worked out between two people and posted in a thread so it can be approved. I'd like to do it better, but don't have the tools. I don't know how big a factor trading will really be in a month long contest, but I'd like to try it out in preparation for longer contests...if we go to a more traditional format (exclusive players, coaches choosing a roster and going heads up versus another coach, trading could be a much bigger deal. Otherwise, trading is only relevant when a coach thinks a player's performance will be better in the future and another coach disagrees...the lack of complexity of the information available on players might prevent this scenario.

[Auto Donk]

Team Donk:

KidCudi -- 9.87
Mr. KLC -- 13.59
JakePeavy -- 22.14
mpaschal34 -- 16.98
jedimindpicks -- 18.35
Sinmeidio -- 18.65

total 99.58

Acquisitions: Owners can buy any player during the down time at the listed price. Player prices will be updated between the end of the week's dailies and the beginning of the downtime at 10 AM Saturday, after which the player can be acquired by any owner who has the required slices of pizza.

So for example, Sinmiedo goes on vacation & decides not to play. I assume I can drop Sin from my roster & add anyone within my available pizza range. Please confirm or deny.

You can trade with other coaches for players and/or slices, but you can't pick up another player unless you buy them at the listed price. You don't get any credit or refund for sin though, you can only use the slices you haven't spent. If that's what you meant, then yes.

That's a ridiculous rule. If Sinmiedo gets hit by a bus God forbid, I should be able to drop him & use his slices for another player. Who in their right mind would trade for a player who isn't even playing? You could even charge a pts fee for pickups & drops to bolster pot, but it should obviously be allowed. If one of my players goes on the 30 day disabled list, I don't have enough slices for a 5th player.

The trading process is still a work in process, hard to copy an existing system without the tools they have and without exclusive players. In a traditional league with exclusive players, a free agency works fine to replace an "injured" player (carpal tunnel or relapse of life most likely injuries). Without exclusive players, it's a bit tougher....I'm not opposed to it though, so let's try this:

During the "off-season" on weekends between the dailies, players can be released for 75% of their purchase price in slices by posting in that week's trading thread. No confirmation is necessary, and all player releases are final.

75% refund better than nothing I guess. But there should be an option for a full slice refund if you pay a pre determined pts fee for all transactions: pickups, drops, & trades.

For the prices, not going to be much difference between a fixed fee and a percentage...fixed fee isn't a bad idea though, will consider that for the next contest.

Never heard of middle place. There's 17 teams, apparently you're rewarding 9th place instead of 3rd place?

I like 1st/2nd/last, but last is too easy to go for if after week 2 someone is too far out of 1st/2nd. Just something to keep people playing if they're out of contention early on.

So 3rd place gets screwed basically, just to reward a mediocre team? I'm sure you like your prize structure, but you're not participating unfortunately. Actual team owners should be able to vote on the prize structure.

Fortunately, every participant gets a chance to vote...by reading the rules before joining, and not joining if they have an issue they consider serious enough. Apparently you're just now reading the rules...might want to do that a little earlier next time

5% isn't even the entry fee back, and not much of a consolation prize....but it might give a reason to keep playing and go for average. This isn't SBR poker where the top 50% get prizes and can cash by just showing up. If you have a better idea to give people a reason to play after they're out of contention for top 3, let's hear it

[bobbywaves]

For those out of contention, perhaps they should have drafted a better team or a 2nd team.

So that's a "no" then...thanks. If anyone else has any thoughts, let me know
