Right now across the world fantasy sports, where you typically "buy" a group of players for your team from some sort of budget, are incredibly popular. There are obviously sites like this already active on the web, but I was proposing something a little different.
So, your team is composed of six players:
Captain: The highest-ranked player on your team. Points for the Captain are divided by 7.
Veteran: A player aged 30 or over. Points for a Veteran are divided by 1.5.
Young Gun: A player aged 22 or under.
Rising Star: A player ranked outside of the Top 100. Rising Star's points are multiplied by 2.5.
Doubles Team: A pair of Doubles Players who have teamed up at least three times in the last year. Each player's individual points will be divided by 12..
(N.B. Players would be prioritised in the order I have listed the classes above, i.e. Roger Federer, although over 30, would be classed as a Captain for most players, and Kyle Edmund, although outside the Top 100, would count as a Young Gun).
The ranking system is relatively simple, you add up the points on your team at the end of the week (with the above handicaps/multipliers) and this is added to your budget. Whoever earns the most points by the end of the season wins.
Now arises the question, how do you buy players?
During the week, if you wish to buy a player, you would simply post a bid. How it would proceed from here would be as follows:
If the player is unclaimed, you can simply buy him outright from the Player Pool for his current ranking points (The same multipliers apply for the points earned as the prices of the players)
If the player is unclaimed but two players want to buy him in the same week, an open auction would be held for the player.
If the player is already on the team of another member, you could either make an enquiry to buy him from that player, or carry out a hostile takeover of sorts, and buy the player without negotiation for double his price.
Any questions below please ask, and if you'd be interested in this idea it'd be great to hear some feedback.
