Bigwave, I love the sound of your league - if you ever get an opening and are willing to take paypal for the money side of it, please let me know, I would love to get in on it.
I understand that if folks aren't able to make the draft that there are some concerns about getting the best player available, but the same thing happens in autopicking. Reviewing autopick history of leagues I've been in, there are always players that I see that sailed on by my team because of computer designations; it drives me nuts to see a guy get passed by my team that I'd have taken if I were able to draft. I do agree though that it can level a playing field, though it does it at the expense of the more informed players. I also agree that negative points can level things out for weaker teams, but I also recognize that it's important to keep players coming back and not feel that they had no chance to win. I know I've had to learn the hard way about managing a fantasy football team and even now I'd say I'm pedestrian at best; had I not played leagues early on where I felt I had a legitimate chance to win, I very well may have passed over playing it for more than a season or two.
