ABA AOK Lenny Wilkens Keeper League

$20 / 16 Teams / Auction Keeper

No in-season stuff, but after the initial auction, you allocate a limited number of years to players and then keep them for those time periods (4 yr max). Next year (and all following), anyone coming off a contract is put back in the offseason auction, but they are basically a restricted free agent since you'll have the right to match whatever the highest bid is in the auction.  We will also have a rookie draft each year based off the previous season results.

ABA World Draft Only Triple Region Rally

24 Teams / H2H / 9 Cat / 14 Roster Spots

$15 buy in

Draft 14 players and let it ride. One wrinkle is the draft order, once I have 8 Americans (North or South), 8 Europeans, and 8 Oceania (Aussie, Korea, Phillipines, etc...) We will do a randomizer to see which group will pick 1-8, 9-16, or 17-24. Once those are set, then I'll do another randomizer to set the order within those groups. That should make the draft go nice and smooth as the guys next to you in the draft will be all close to the same time zone. There are three different drafts, one with each region starting first.

Prizes:

• 1st Place in any of the drafts = $40
• 2nd Place in any of the drafts = $20
• 3rd Place in any of the drafts = $10
• 4th Place in any of the drafts = $5
• Best overall average wins for an individual = $50
• 2nd Best overall average for wins for an individual = $25
• Best average wins for the entire region = 8 x $7.50 for each member of the region. (sorry my math was wrong about $15 per region member)

Cannibalism Auction Leagues

$10 / 16 Teams / Auction
Every 3 weeks we drop the bottom two teams, those team's players are all placed into the waiver wire to be cannibalized by the remaining teams. There are no in-season transactions except for these special cannibalism weeks. The league will start with an auction with a $300 budget, that amount will have to satisfy you not only in the original auction, but also throughout the 4 cannibalism sessions since any left over becomes your claim budget for the waiver sessions, where you might just be bidding on guys like Wemby, Shai, and more. Once we get to 8 teams, the cannibalism is over, but we will drop 1 team a week from that point on until we are down to the final team.

8 Teams / H2H / 9 Cat / Snake Draft 3rd Round Reversal

$20 buy in

$60/$20 for 1st/2nd place, $80 will go to the Dugout Demons Fundraiser

This particular one is just a fundraiser for my son's baseball team I coach. If it fills great, if not no worries. Basically it's a 50/50 split of the prize money with half going to prizes and half as a kind donation to our team.  If this does happen to fill, fantastic, if not no worries.  I do want to REPEAT, I will always have a minimum of 2 standard $5 draft only leagues going up until tip off of the upcoming season.

You can check out our GoFundMe page to see how the money is spent on the team (I tracked our spring season in a spreadsheet after many generous donations helped us win the league championship!
