AUCTION LEAGUE INTRODUCTION:  If this is your first Auction League Live Fantasy Baseball Draft get ready for something you will never forget. An opportunity to meet many new friends and do something you will enjoy year after year. 

AUCTION DRAFT: In our auction leagues, each team will begin with $270 to fill their complete 27 player rosters. Bids will be taken in $1 increments.

In the following years, you can keep as many as you wish on your roster at an annual player salary increase of $3.

Free agents picked up during the season will be issued last team in standings to first team weekly. Free agent pickups will receive a starting salary of $4. An auction of all non-keepers will be done yearly to fill out team rosters and new salaries assigned to the players acquired.

These drafts are done utilizing CBSsports.com top of the industry auction software. It is the closest thing to an in-person auction draft. Your gonna love it!!!

KEEPER LEAGUE REDRAFT: In auction leagues, every 5th year a keeper league will completely redraft. There will be no keepers in a redraft year as all players are available. Each established leagues redraft year is available on the League Winners page. We believe drafting a team from scratch is an integral part of the fantasy baseball experience.

KEEPER LEAGUE OFFSEASON: Once the Major League Baseball season ends, if your team is paid for the following season, you can trade with other teams paid for the next season throughout the off-season. So our team owners can trade all year long.

AUCTION LEAGUE TEAMS: Mixed (AL/NL) leagues will have 10, 12 or 14 teams. Each team will each have 27 players (22 active per week): 1-Catcher; 1-First Basemen; 1-Corner Infield (1B or 3B); 1- Third Basemen; 1-Second Basemen; 1-Middle Infield (2B or SS); 1-Short Stop; 5-Outfielders; 1-Utility (Any Offensive Player); 9-Pitchers; 5-Reserve (Offense or Pitching).

Whichever team gets the most points in a week gets a Win in the standings, while the other team takes a loss.  Teams play a 23 game regular season schedule followed by 3 weeks of playoffs. Pitchers will not accumulate hitting statistics.

Note: Regular season tiebreaker is most points scored by reserve players.

The FSRU regular season ends three weeks before the MLB regular season. 
The top 8 Teams make the playoffs in best of seven series.

You should have players chosen by midnight the night prior to issuance.

Each team will be given unlimited free agent pickups per week. Note that you must choose multiple players to drop if you wish multiple players issued.

Note: Each team is obligated to play their best lineup and the "strategy" of playing for a lower draft position in keeper leagues is considered an illegal lineup.
