League Idea: Team Auction
So here's the idea:
24 coaches. 24 races.
A coach nominates a team, and bids on it (minimum bid of zero). All coaches may bid on the selected team, and this bid is how many Assistant Coaches or Cheerleaders he must buy at team creation, and keep on his roster at all times.
Each coach would have an opportunity to nominate a team, and bid on all teams he'd like to play. The auction would be moderated by the commissioner and take place in real time, on IRC.
(Name that tune reference deleted.)
Thoughts?

I like the idea. 24 coaches in a new league is a lot, though. Especially if you get some folks signing up thinking they'll be the highest bidder for a certain race and then get shafted. Keeping the interest of the folks in the bottom pool is harder than keeping the folks that do most of the winning.

i like the idea immensely in theory.

I guess there is a possibly huge problem with drop-out coaches though.

Just lower the teams available then. I'd be interested in seeing this work, but I think problems would present themselves.

Love the idea, especially with all 24 teams. :O
Obviously when signing up you should accept that you are not completely certain on what you get, just like the hugely popular HUBBA and 3 Dice Block leagues.

I'm a little drunk, but I didn't understand that at all.
Name that tune as in 'I name the race in one letter'?
N
So it's nurgle or norse..........ok I bid such and such?

I think the 'name that tune' reference is probably misleading. Especially as you bid downwards to name the tune. I doubt that the idea of this auction is that you start by saying I'll play the Nurgle (or whichever) team with 4 AC/CLs, next person bids 3, and the person who gets the team is the one who bids 0 AC/CLs. That just wouldn't work; everyone would open at 0.

What you could do is do a normal team draft and award points at the end of the season based on you draft position. For 1 pt for 8th 8 pts for first then a multiplier based on draft position. X1 for 1-4, x6 for 21-24 and then redraft each season.

I'm gonna put this idea on a shelf until after the World Championship (league tournament). Then maybe I'll see what kind of interest there is.

I love the idea, but I agree that you would need a very committed group of coaches.
