Dobber Tiered Invitational League [2024-25]

[Invictus]

Welcome to the 2024-25 DobberHockey Tiered Invitational League!

I will be your Commissioner this year, as you compete against your fellow DobberHockey readers to become the ultimate champion!

What it's all about:
This is a tiered competition consisting of annual one-year rotisserie leagues, which are held on Yahoo, and run and participated by members of DobberHockey. Previously managed by Dobber himself, this competition began in 2007 so this season will be the 18th year running. There are three tiers, which comprise of the Entry, Pro and Expert divisions.


Rules and Set-up:
These are 12 team roto leagues, although the number of teams may vary slightly depending upon enrollment or other factors. Skater categories include goals, assists, +/-, PPP, shots and hits. Goalie categories are wins, GAA and saves. 4C, 4LW, 4RW 6D, 2G, 5 bench and 3 IR/IR+slots. Waivers are weekly and line-ups are daily. FAAB is used.

A promotion/relegation system is used. Top two teams in the lower league move up while the bottom four in the higher league move down. Again, numbers and circumstances may affect these numbers.

Getting an earlier start to this (I think).

Entry League draft date/time will be decided on maybe at some point today (Friday), but will likely be after the weekend.

If you are not returning and set to be in Expert or Pro League please let me know. Thanks.

Happy to get back in on a Pro League. Last year was rough! Hopeful to do better this time around!

[Invictus]

Ya last year didn't go well for me.
Setup a great draft time in Expert league for everyone and then my Hydro company was like we are shutting you power down for a few hours to do maintenance on a Sunday (at draft time!).

Can't autodraft in Expert league and survive. So looking to bounce back in Pro this year.
So trying to sneak some research in as we do this Mock Draft because I slacked off last year

Can't autodraft in Expert league and survive. So

Hey there! I will join either Smythe or Adams if possible. Evening drafts work much better for me
