The first three players you keep are due a $3 raise from the previous year's price. The fourth player you keep is due a $4 raise. The fifth player you keep is due a $5 raise. And so on...
Note: By definition, your "first keeper" is your highest priced keeper. Your "second keeper" is your second highest priced keeper. And so on...
Example: You've narrowed down your potential keepers to 6 players. Their prices from last year were $35, $20, $16, $8, $4, and $2. If you choose to keep all six players, you will have to pay them as follows:
Keeper 1) $38 ($35+3)
Keeper 2) $23 ($20+3)
Keeper 3) $19 ($16+3)
Keeper 4) $12 ($8+$4)
Keeper 5) $9 ($4+$5)
Keeper 6) $8 ($2+$6)
These six players that cost you $85 last year will cost you $109 this year. If you can make that fit your budget, congratulations.
Free Agents: All players who were drafted will retain their auction price, even if they are dropped. Undrafted players who are picked up during the season will be given a $5 price tag.
Waivers: In this keeper system, players claimed on waivers might end up becoming keepers. Therefore, we needed a better waiver system that allows everyone a shot at players who are dropped (or players who are added to Yahoo's database mid-season). Each team will be have a Free Agency Acquisition Budget (FAAB) of $100 that he can use to make waiver requests. For more information on how this works, you can see Yahoo's help page or ask me.
Disclaimer: While a lot of thought has already gone into these proposed rules, please feel free to make any suggestions that you feel would be an improvement to this system. All feedback will be taken into consideration. Once we have our draft, the rules we have in place will be locked in as the rules that we'll use to determine keepers for the following year.
