Who came up with the reverse order for fantasy leagues?

Wrong!  It's not 1st and then 10th if there's ten teams....  It goes, from 1st pick to 9th pick, then the 9th team gets first pick in the second round and the 1st team gets the last pick in that round.  So, the 9th team would get the 10th pick and the 1st team would get the 18th.  \n\nIt's done that way so it's fair.  Think about it - if you were the last team to pick, would it be fair if you had to pick last EVERY time, and the 1st team got to pick FIRST?  So no, it switches every round.

It sounds a little shady to me.  My Commish always has a witness around when the draft order is selected (we do it old school and draw names out of a hat).  He had the 8th pick this year so I think it's safe to say that my commish is not cheating!! I would discuss this with other members and discuss how to approach your manager on this issue.

A keeper fantasy league can be football, baseball, basketball or anything other league where you hold a live draft.  You "keep" a number of players from your current team( that # could be from 1 to however many players your league or commish see's fit, usually around 3-7 though) and when you draft your team next year you will start with those players you have "kept".  So if your league keeps 4 players your draft next year will actually start at round #5. Hope this helps.

why wouldnt it be? so long as you dont change the existing rules that you play by why not? if there are reservations about whether it would be ok or not, put it to a league vote and majority rules! i personally am not an advocate of a commish being a team owner, as this leaves open the possibility of playing favorites, or gives the impression of playing favorites possibly to the other owners which is almost as bad as playing favorites! good luck!

You would probably have to create a new Yahoo ID for the second league. I don't think you can have different pick sets for the same login.

It is a list of players that cannot be just cut from your team.  They must be traded or left on your roster.  The list is determined by Yahoo! "experts" and a player will only be removed when they deem it necessary.  This tool was developed to keep fantasy owners, whose teams were not doing well, from dumping their entire rosters and putting all their players up for grabs on the waiver lists.

I've played yahoo fantasy football for a few years now and they usually open it up middle July at the earliest to the beginning of August. The drafts can be held up to the first regular game is played usually, there can be some exception to that though. Don't worry about missing it, they post it on their home page as soon as it opens. And the NFL training camps are not open yet, hell the draft picks haven't even begun signing yet. All they are having now is mini camps and they can only have a couple of them before the actually training camps open later in the summer.

if it's a public league you can write yahoo fantasy sports under unsportsmanlike play and have that team froze for the remainder of the season, but if it's a private league there is nothing you can do about it. I've tried to have unfair commionsers removed or disciplined and they wont dont anything about it because they say they are not allowed to interfere in private leagues,  Unfortunately thats the hang ups about playing in someone else's league, they have all power and control over everything. I'm sorry this happening to you.\n\nThe only thing i can honestly say to you is write fantasy sports about have your league id, your team name, the commissioners name and the dates and questionable moves he or she has made as evidence and hope for the best.\n&#92;\nEven though fantasy games are meant to be a competitive experience for all involved, it is important to us that our users not lose sight of the rules of fair play and good sportsmanship.\n\n\n1.

I would just do the draft in person or in an online chat room if you can get everyone in your league together.  All of the free leagues are far too rigid to be any good.  Plus this way is flexible for last moment trades invovling draft picks.

Roto leagues are the ones that started this all. They run season long - instead of being reset each week.\n\nOkay - so we have cumulative stats from the start of the season.\n\nThen, for each stat (ie, HRs, RBIs, Wins, Saves...) the teams in the league are sorted by how they did in that stat. Then they are given points based on that order.\n\nSay you have 10 teams. The team with the most HRs gets 10 points. The team with the least, gets 1 point. Then the team with the most RBIs (might be a different team than the team with the most HRs) gets 10 points and the team with the least gets 1 point.\n\nDo that for all the stats in the league. And then sum up the points for each stat, and that is your roto score.\n\nSo, some days, you could knock in 10 HRs but your score won't change (if it doesn't give you more cumulative HRs than the team ahead of you) or you could knock in 2 and pass  3 teams ahead of you and score big points.\n\nIt is all based on relative performance, across the league. So you kind of need to pay more attention to every team, instead of the one team you're playing against that week. \n\nIt is a unique experience - maybe try a mid-season leagu to get your feet we.
