Hi everyone, I'm looking to start a keep 5 h2h (daily) league.
I have run a dynasty h2h pool for 12 years but feel that a limited keep 5 is the way to go for a truly competitive league year after year.
By using limited keepers, it forces a gm to have a good draft to succeed. This also helps eliminate teams from being driven into the ground or face lengthy rebuilds.
Also to help prevent tanking and keep teams that are out of the playoffs involved, the next years draft order would be determined by the consolation results
Basic Information
- 14 teams
- keep 5
- 2 Divisions
- redraft each year (which includes the non keepers and entry draft players)
- Goals, Assists, Points, Face Off %, Power play Points, SOG, Blocked Shots, Hits*
- Categories will be weighed (eg, if blocks and hits are 1 point, goals and assists will be 2-3)
Statistical Categories (Goalies)
- Wins, Goals against Average, Save Percentage, Saves*
- same as above in regards to being weighed
*I was hoping for a 2/3 split of the categories minimum.
Playoff General Info
- Division winners get 1st round bye
- Consolation bracket results determine the top picks in the draft (eg, winner picks 1st, runner up picks 2nd etc)*
* using the consolation bracket results in this fashion keeps GM's interested right to the end of season. It also deters them trading away their non keepers for little return.
Had a few guys pm me about yahoo being a possibility since their other leagues are there.
At this point I think Yahoo is totally an option. After looking on fantrax a little more, it looks like we wouldnt be using their premium features anyway.
