quitting league after draft, Help plz

[radarluv1]

if a guy wants to leave after the draft, how can it be done fairly? there already was an odd # of teams, so he's bowing out to make head to head scheduling easier. my concern is the players on that team. the league wants to make them available in reverse order of draft, to me this is not fair. someone would be getting another first or second round talent while others get 9 or 10th round talent. anything wrong with my concern here? is there a better way to handle this? any help is appreciated

Not really any good way to handle this.

 

How about the players are allowed to be picked up after week 2 of the season with the worst team going first etc.

 

Doing it after week 1 may encourage some teams to tank that week on puropose.

theres an idea. they were going to allow draft in reverse order of original draft, before the first game. how would burying the deadbeats players hurt the league?

How was there an odd number of teams to start with? I thought there had to be an even number of teams in head-to-head leagues for there to be a draft in the first place.

Re-drafting everything not a possibility?

no, its not. we were uneven bcuz our managr is an idiot. we had bye weeks, but not the same # of them. sounds like we'll just remove the players from the league for good.

It must not be a Yahoo league, because Yahoo doesn't allow an uneven number of teams in head-to-head leagues.

Is there a way to freeze the players on that team? make them unavailable to everyone?

 

The only other fair alternative I can see is finding someone to take over his team.

yeah, we were able to take the players off the board. the quitter was trying to help the league by leaving. it took some explaining for them to understand that releasing the players to the other guys in the league could never be fair.
