I set up a private league for RX'ers. Maybe we can make things a little more interesting with an entry fee, with winner take all or cash for the top 3. It's a 12 team league. If anyone is interested in joining, shoot me an email or reply in this thread. League info is listed below. Once we get 12 teams, we can get the list draft started.


League Info
League Name: The RX
Is League Public or Private? Private
Draft Type: List
Draft Time: (info)

For Auto Leagues, the draft time will be set when the league fills to 12 teams. For all other leagues, the draft time can be set by the League Commissioner at any time.

Not Set

Scoring System: 5x5
Undroppable Players: Default list


Manager List (1 teams)

5x5 Scoring Categories

Earned Run Average ERA
Walks + Hits Per Inning WHIP


Hitter/Pitcher Options
Maximum number of games allowed per fielding position: (info)

This applies per hitter spot. If the league has 2 catcher spots and the game limit is 162 games per fielding position, the managers in the league can fill a catcher into their starting lineup for a total of (162x2) = 324 games.

Once a manager maxes out the number of games at a particular position he will no longer earn points for any player he starts at that position.

A "0" means that no game maximum will be applied to hitters in this league.

0
Maximum number of innings allowed for all pitchers combined: (info)

This applies to all pitchers. If the league has 9 pitcher spots and the inning limit is 1400 innings, managers in the league will have to spread the 1400 innings across their 9 pitchers, or approximately 155 innings per pitcher.

Once a manager maxes out the number of innings his pitchers have pitched he will no longer earn points for any pitcher.

A "0" means that no inning maximum will be applied to pitchers in this league.

1400
Minimum number of innings required from all pitchers combined: (info)

This option only applies to Rotisserie Scoring Leagues - it will be ignored for Cumulative Scoring Leagues.

The innings minimum applies to all pitchers. If the league has 9 pitcher spots and the inning minimum is 900 innings, managers in the league will have to spread the 900 innings across their 9 pitchers, or approximately 100 innings per pitcher.

If a manager does not reach the minimum number of innings he will automatically move into last place in both ERA and WHIP categories.

A "0" means that no inning minimum will be applied to pitchers in this league.

500
Number of starts for fielder to be eligible at new position: (info)

After a hitter reaches this number of starts at a new position he will be made eligible to start at that position in your league. This only applies to existing hitters becoming eligible at a new position once the season starts. New hitters will be added to the game eligible at their most likely starting position.

All hitters begin the season eligible at the positions they ended the previous season eligible at.

10 Games
Number of appearances for starter to be eligible as a reliever: (info)

After a pitcher has made this number of appearances as a reliever he will be made eligible as a relief pitcher (RP) in your league. This setting will be ignored if your league doesn't use separate SP and RP positions. It also only applies to existing pitchers becoming eligible as relievers once the season starts. New pitchers will be added to the game eligible at their most likely roster position.

All pitchers begin the season eligible at the positions they ended the previous season eligible at.

5 Games
Number of appearances for reliever to be eligible as a starter: (info)

After a pitcher has starter this number of games he will be made eligible as a starting pitcher (SP) in your league. This setting will be ignored if your league doesn't use separate SP and RP positions. It also only applies to existing pitchers becoming eligible as starters after the season starts. New pitchers will be added to the game eligible at their most likely roster position.

All pitchers begin the season eligible at the positions they ended the previous season eligible at.

3 Games


Trade Options
League members can veto or allow a trade: (info)

This setting will allow managers in the league to vote on whether a trade should be allowed or vetoed. If this option is off, managers will still be able to vote on the trade but it will be for the Commish's reference only - the votes will not affect the trade's processing. If the Commish or the league does not cancel/veto the trade, it will be processed according to the "Number of days a trade is open to vote" option below.

Yes
Number of votes to veto a trade: (info)

Only valid if League members can veto or allow a trade is on. This is the number of votes required to veto the trade, not counting the two managers involved in the trade.

4
Number of votes to allow a trade: (info)

Only valid if League members can veto or allow a trade is on. This is the number of votes required to immediately process the trade, not counting the two managers involved in the trade.

4
Number of days trade is open to vote: (info)

The number of days that a pending trade will be available to vote on. If the trade is not vetoed or allowed via league voting by the end of this time, it will be processed that night.

2
Trade Deadline: (info)

This is the data after which no trades will be allowed. Any trades that are in the pending (i.e. agreed upon by both parties) state on or before this date will still be processed according your league rules. Any other (offered but not accepted) trades will be canceled, and no new trades can be offered. Commissioners typically set a trade deadline as a means to protect against collusion late in the season.

If the Commissioner has selected "No Deadline", trades can be processed for the entire season.

August 15th


Waiver Options
Number of days non-drafted players stay on waivers after draft: (info)

This applies only to any players not drafted. Any players drafted but immediately dropped will be placed on waivers according to the value of Number of days players stay on waivers below.

If the Commish has choosen No Waivers, any players not drafted will immediately be a free agent (a.k.a first-come, first-serve) after the draft.

If the Commish has choosen Indefinitely, any player not drafted will remain on waivers until the Commish processes another manager's claim for him. This is helpful for leagues that use waiver rules that our Fantasy Baseball game does not support.

1
Number of days players stay on waivers: (info)

This does not apply to the initial waiver period for any player not drafted.

If the Commish has choosen No Waivers, any players dropped from a team's roster will immediately be a free agent (a.k.a first-come, first-serve).

If the Commish has choosen Indefinitely, a player dropped from a manager's roster will remain on waivers until the Commish processes another manager's claim for him. This is helpful for leagues that use waiver rules that our Fantasy Baseball game does not support.

I'd be interested depending on time of draft. Money could be talked in the league chatroom away from here. Could allways do side action too. Posters with more posts the better.

it would be a list draft, so we'd have plenty time to rank our players, and hopefully do some wheelng and dealing outside the draft.
i wouldn't exactly be looking for a required number of posts to participate (would prefer to play with forum regulars), since the money would be collected beforehand. I would hold the money in my paypal account, if that would be agreeable with the other 11 players. If not, we'd have to agree on another way to escrow the money. It would be a modest fee, i'm not a highroller myself, just enjoy competition. Any input would be appreciated.
