Welcome to the Auto League

Auto Leagues are seasons that last about two months (baseball) or one month (basketball & football). Baseball and Baksetball sim about 2-3 games per day, while Football sims one game per day. Since this league is run with essentially no commissioner, there is a trade limit. Please be reasonable with your transactions, and report any bad owners using the feedback form.

League Status:
Season underway. Next sim around 10/14/2024 10:49 PM PT.

Draft Type:
Daily Draft

Owners Joined:
11 of 12
You can start ranking players for the draft as soon as you sign up! (The Draft link appears on the league homepage and your team page when you are signed in.)

Once the league fills, a draft round will run once every eight hours until all teams have 23 players. Once the draft is complete games will begin! Free agency opens after the first games. Please be sure to read the League Rules for further details!
This is NOT a keeper league, so once your team's season is over, you can stay in this league and re-draft next season, or quit and join a new Auto League.
When do games start?
After all teams have an owner and have drafted, the games will begin. You will get an email after the first game notifying you that the league has started.

What time are games played?
Barring any issues with the servers, games are auto-simmed 2 or 3 times a day, starting as early as 1:00am and ending as late as 11:00pm Pacific Time. Users can sim games from the My League List page every eight hours. This allows the league to keep moving if the server has issues or the participants in the league want to move the season along slightly faster than the auto sims allow. There will always be at least eight hours between games so managers can react if desired.

Can I customize my team?
Yes! You can change your team name, logo, and more via the "Owner Console" on your "My Team" page before the season begins and up until the 5th game of the season.

World Series and post-season
Division winners and three wild card reach the post-season. Owners can leave the league once their team is elimnated, or wait until the playoffs are over and re-draft the next season.

I'm always eager to here what you enjoy or think can be improved with the site, so stay in touch via the feedback form and follow site updates on the news & notes page.

10/14/2024 WAR Budget Adviseragingsol
The strategy you describe is a great way to build a team in any league.

Having recently jumped in to Franchise Leagues because of the fantastic and fair Budget War draft, it seems to me that the real formula to win is: Get very good at using Baseball Reference, master the various Budget War draft tools in PC, play a lot of leagues, try to make your teams incrementally stronger the next season (if possible), make it to the playoffs as often as possible, and have your team get hot in the playoffs. There can be only one, but there always will be one.

Not sure who the best at Franchise Leagues is, but looking at win totals of several very active Franchise GMs, it doesn't seem like anyone has figured out how to win with most of the Franchises.
