Fantasy Baseball Auction League
FANTASY BASEBALL INTRODUCTION: If this is your first 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.
ROTISSERIE LEAGUE AUCTION DRAFT: Beginning in 2008, FSRU.com will be offering Auction Drafts. Each team will begin with $270 to fill their complete 27 player rosters. Bids will be taken in $1 increments.
You can keep as many as 10 players on your roster in the following years- at an annual salary increase of $3.
Free agents picked up during the season, issued last team in standings to first team weekly, will receive a starting salary of $7. 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 CBSsportsline.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.
Previous years standings will dictate draft order in redraft years. Previous 5 years league champions will receive priority positioning from oldest to youngest. Remaining positions will be issued last team to first team as of 5th years final standings. An example draft order in a 2008 Redraft would be:
1. 2003 Champion
2. 2004 Champion
3. 2005 Champion
4. 2006 Champion
5. 2007 Champion
6. 14th Team in 2007
7. 13th Team in 2007, Etc.
If you are considering purchasing a Team for Sale, 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.
FANTASY BASEBALL TEAMS: Mixed (AL/NL) leagues will have 12 or 14 teams. AL or NL only leagues have 10 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).
HOW TO WIN at 5x5 ROTISSERIE BASEBALL:
There are five hitting and five pitching categories in 5x5 Roto Leagues.
The five hitting categories are:
Batting Average (BA)
Home Runs (HR)
Runs Batted In (RBI)
Stolen Bases (SB)
Runs Scored (R)
The five pitching categories are:
Wins (W)
Saves (S)
Earned Run Average (ERA)
Ratio (Walks + Hits / Innings Pitched)
Strikeouts (S)
Pitchers will not accumulate hitting statistics. Points are awarded in each of the 10 categories based on your standings compared to the other league teams, for example, from 1 to 14 in a mixed league. Your total points then rank you in comparison to the other teams.
FANTASY BASEBALL POSITION QUALIFICATION: A player must play at a position 10x the previous year or 5x the current year to qualify at a position. TQstats issues new MLB players position based on their minor league career.
FANTASY BASEBALL TRADES: Trades must be done utilizing on site trade software. Commissioner notification of a trade must occur no later than 10pm EST each Friday or your transaction will be pushed to the following week (when possible commissioner will input trades after Thursday at 10pm EST). Trades will not be made retroactive.
FANTASY BASEBALL FREE AGENTS: The weekly order of free agent pickups will be last place team to 1st place team. Free agent will be issued each Friday. 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.
FANTASY BASEBALL ROSTERS: Each week you will be able to activate players from your reserve squad and reserve players that are active. Reserving an injured player or activating a new free agent you just picked up could make a big difference on your team.
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.
FANTASY BASEBALL WEBSITE and STATISTICS: Simply put, this site has everything you could possibly want in a Fantasy Baseball Website. Your league standings are updated daily along with injury reports, what free agents are available in your league, updated rosters and transactions, and a trade evaluation software link; to see if you want to pull the trigger on that blockbuster. It provides the statistics year-to-date; or what the player has done while active for your team. This site even has Live Feed so you can see how your team, or any other team, players are doing right in the middle of the game.
