Standings based on total picked correct, not percentage.
Keepers
Each returning team may keep 1 player form each position, from their 2021 roster for 2022.
Prior rosters and keeper values are distributed to the league in Mid-August each year.
Keepers for 2022 must be posted on the league message board by 9 pm MT, on Sunday, September 3rd.
A player may only be on a roster for 3 years, before being entered back into the auction.
The keeper cost of any kept payers will be deducted from the $220 auction money, reducing the money left to spend during the rest of the auction. Also, each player kept will take up one of the 23 auction slots for each team.
New teams to the league will be able to assume the roster of a departing team if one is available. The keeper rules and limits would apply to any new teams and the rosters they are taking over. If we have multiple openings, the first new team would get the roster from the departing team of their choice. New teams will still be placed in the Fly Weight division even if they are taking over a roster from a team that would have been in a higher division. If there is not a roster to take over for a new team they will start fresh.
If a player is picked in the auction, he carries that keeper value to the next season even if he is dropped and then picked up later in the season. (It also counts as 1 year of the 3 max).
