    The one on ESPN seems very similar. The league stays set up from year to year and you pick your keepers by a set date before the draft and then everyone else is thrown in the player pool. I ran the other league over there for a few years and it worked out well and is easy. I just like Yahoo because that is where my other leagues are.

    The auction draft is fun but it takes forever and it is already hard enough to get everyone available for the 1-2 hour window it takes to get a snake draft done. They are fun to do though.

    Vote:

    1. Should we set up 2 divisions of 6 teams each or just have one 12 team league?

    a.) Divisions
    b.) no divisions

    2. Teams that make the playoffs

    a.) 6
    b.) 4

    3. Include 2b/SS and 1b/3b as positions or get rid of them.

    a.) include
    b.) get rid

    These are the only things that are popping into my mind at the moment but if you have other concerns please let me know.

    Divisions if you can adjust the schedule so it's like baseball pre-1994. Play the 5 teams in your division 6 times and no inter-divisional play until the final.

    2. Teams that make the playoffs
    All of them like the ACC tourney.......j/k either 4 or 6 is fine(top 2 with 2 weeks of playoffs(1-1 or 1-2) or top 3 with a 1-1-2 or 1-1-1 playoff)

    3. Include 2b/SS and 1b/3b as positions or get rid of them.

    Get rid of them, it's already a bitch to just find a back-up that even starts.

    I'm probably not going to have internet access until Sunday so please keep answering the poll questions/draft times and by early next week hopefully we can figure out a time.
