I have an auction format league which has been around for about 10 years, solid keeper system, and we are evaluating moving towards a dynasty format. We have instituted things like a luxury tax. Any thoughts? Do you have any rules for a Basketball version of Dynasty?

We are using the +2 format (if player is drafted in 3rd round and you keep him you give up your 1st round pick, etc). For players picked up off the waiver wire and kept we are saying they are 13th round picks (15th round is our last round +2). I have a moral dilemma: What do you guys think about "stashing" or "hoarding" IR players to be kept for next season? People have dropped Bowe because of his suspension and Ronnie Brown because he's on IR. At what point should I say that they can't be picked up and kept for next year? Or should I say all's fair in love and fantasy football if the person that picks them up has the room to stash them on their bench? Please reply here or to christopher.franzen@gmail.com THANKS!

They ended up 3rd and 5th in a twelve team league. I would say that's pretty fair.

This is with a 26 man roster. Looking at it you would want to adjust how many players you can protect to your league size. This is with a 26 man roster.

One team made it to the playoffs and one ended up at the bottom so it's possible...I'm thinking that the basics could be used for a Keeper as well, just adjust it to your keeper league. Possibly have the expansion draft before Keepers need to be declared so they have a chance to keep someone...don't worry, you get a chance to protect your studs and you can tweek it to fit what you want to do. http://footballjabber.com/2008/03/14/expanding-your-fantasy-football-dynasty-league/ Hope you don't mind if I drop the link here Matt Feel free to delete if you wish). It's not as "Geeky" and lengthy as the Dynasty League stuff...lol. Jason we did this with a Dynasty League last year.

I'd probably just have them draft normally, without trying to do anything fancy with the keepers. They'll be at a disadvantage, obviously, but only for one season, and since you just do two keepers, it's not like they won't have a shot. If you feel like it's still too unbalanced because of situations like yours (getting to take Addai in the 5th round this season is friggin stellar), maybe you can say that they can keep 3 or 4 players in 2009. Jason,

We have a pretty successful one going on (10 teams) and have a bunch of guys who want to join. We're thinking of expanding the league to 12 teams but aren't sure how to do the draft. Some background if it helps: As it stands, teams are allowed to keep two players, and they must forfeit the pick that the player was originally drafted. Each successive year you keep him, the cpmpensation moves up one round (so I drafted Joe Addai in the 7th round his rookie year, the first time I kept him, it cost me a 7th pick, keep him again and it costs a 6th). Also, we have the draft order ste up so that the teams that missed the playoffs go into a lottery for the top pick and then the rest of the order is filled out by W-L record. Any thought on how to add two teams and give them quality players without screwing over the current owners? Anyone have any suiggestions on expanding your keeper league.
