A dynasty league is...
The first year of the league is normal. The catch is though, at the end of the season, you get to keep all of your players. Once you draft players in the first draft, they're yours forever unless you cut them, trade them, or they retire.
Every draft after the first one is a rookie only draft, so basically this is almost like how the NFL runs (accept we keep contracts of this one).
The champion of the league gets $150 plus there's 4 prizes that are handed out at the end of the year. The team with the least amount of points in a season gets a custom "loser's trophy". The team that scores the most points during the scoring period Thanksgiving falls on gets a custom "Thanksgiving football trophy". The team that scores the most points in a season gets a custom trophy. And the team that wins the league gets a custom trophy.
And the league entry fee is only $30 (CBS sports charges $40 for a gold team and you only get a $150 prize, so you get more value joining my league).
