Not much of an advantage for shit teams in keepers when snake drafting. Id rather pick 12th and get two of the top 13, than 1st and get two of the top 24.

But then you get 3 of the top 25. Still rather have the 12 spot.

Also, in keeper leagues, guys that keep less than te max should pick BEFORE not after everyone is done. Seems more likely to aid in competitive balance. (Not tallinbough this league with that comment though.)

I vote non snake.

I don't care either way. But, if I had to choose I'd say non snake. Since this is such a deep keeper, most teams have good blocks to build upon. So it would be ok to have a draft like the real NFL.

As for teams that don't keep the max, I disagree with smitty. The key is to build a constant winner. It isn't mine or anyone else's fault that other teams don't pick up players that do well. I don't care about a competitive balance. If your team sucks, I'm taking advantage. If it's good, I'm doing my damnedest to compete. Obviously last year was a learning curve for me. ;) Hell, after the draft there were still players I wanted that were available so I grabbed em off the WW. There's more than enough talent at the end to keep teams that don't keep the max competitive. Jmo though. I'm cool with whatever.

Can not agree to that Smitty. I could actually win it all and drop 10 players and pick first because I dropped more. You want to pick earlier, then trade for it.

Since I was born in the year of the snake, I want a snake draft.

That's why people quit keeper leagues though dudes. Constantly having four teams in a league that have no chance before the season even starts isn't really ideal. Hell, it's not even a step down from ideal, whatever that term is.

Also, waivers shouldn't be open immediately following any draft. I mean, it's cool if shittyass teams that come in last pick up guys in order to get somewhere close to competitive,(somewhere close, as relatively close is most likely unattainable.) but not teams that are already good.

My vote remains non snake. As Id like sucky teams to have a chance to not be sucky in perpetuity. The commentary was strictly to voice my displeasure with the ins and outs in several of the 38 leagues Im in.

38? I'm fucking impressed. I did 2 last year, and both suffered because of it. Back down to 1.

Hyperbole fellas. Hyperbole.

More in favor than ever of non snake. Emphatically non-snake. Steadfast even, maybe.

I agree with the WW over FA for non drafted players. That does not need a vote IMO. Does give the Micros of the world a shot afterall.

I already changed those for next year.

How do you feel about changing trade veto timeframe from 3 days 2 or 1?

With everyone being from here we know there will be no funny bidness going on.

I feel bad when guys stuck in the cellar, of the basement, of the crawl space, like Micro's team, aren't given some sort of opportunity to scratch and crawl their way back out of the hole, you know?

I think 1 day is fair. Funny Bidness shouldn't be an issue.
