Keeper / Dynasty

What it is

Like a draft pool, but your roster carries forward across seasons. After each year ends, every team chooses a number of players to "keep" for the next season — those players don't enter the next draft. Rosters become long-term projects.

How it works

1. 1

   Year one plays out as a normal draft pool.

2. 2

   After the season ends, each member submits a keeper list — the players they're holding for next year.

3. 3

   The next year's draft excludes all kept players. The rest of the league pool refills the available list.

4. 4

   Each new season runs as a normal draft pool, but with built-in rosters.

5. 5

   Standings reset each year, but reputations and rivalries carry across.

Best for

Tight-knit groups that want their pool to be a multi-year project. A handful of friends who love the sport and want to argue about prospects for years.
