I like your enthusiasm, rjb.

I think this should be a fairly competitive league. There are a bunch of good teams.

Well, a quick look at my roster should cause everyone else to quiver in fear. Although I would prefer to have more Hispanic names (does "Teixeira" qualify?), my Japanese rookie catcher ought to help out -- if he can learn enough English to get by.

In any case, the Ticomaniacs are going to be tough to beat!

Who's my first victim?

Does he gives the signs in Japanese and have a translator that passes them along to the pitcher?

We are actually doing a rotisserie league... would you guys prefer to go head-to-head? I can change it anytime up to our first game.

I'm up for either. And now, since I know RJB is going to wonder, "What's a rotisserie league," I post the following for his edification. <cough>

From the Yahoo site:

Quote:

Rotisserie Leagues
In a Rotisserie League, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Points are then awarded according to the order of finish in each category and are totaled to determine an overall score and place.

So, if you are in a 12-team league, the team with the most assists will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in assists, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5].

Therefore, the maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category.

So, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144].

Rankings within the individual scoring categories (PTS, REB, etc.) are based on the cumulative stats earned by all active players during the season and not on any individual day or game.

Therefore, the overall ranking of your team will rise and fall depending on how it performs relative to the performance of other league members. So, the phenomenon of "losing points" can be explained as your rank falling in one or more of the statistical categories used in your league.

All non head-to-head Public Leagues use rotisserie scoring and the same default configuration. Custom Leagues can use rotisserie, head-to-head or fantasy point scoring, and all are totally customizable.

Head to head uses the same categories but instead of ranking your team against all of the other teams, you go head to head against one team (usualy for a week in length). At the end of the week you either win or lose that round and move on to another opponent for the next week.

Your team would then be ranked on your win/lose record as opposed to how you did in each statistical category compared to the rest of the league.

Does that make sense?

Now that I think about it, head-to-head might be easier to keep track of and offer a great ability to talk trash against a single opponent. Anybody else have a say in the matter?

Doesn't matter to me either way.

"Head to head" sounds like more fun. Especially if the website does all the "heavy lifting."

I certainly have no preference, since I have no idea what is going on, anyway. The head-to-head sounds amusing. By my calculation, each of us would face each of the other seven players three times during the course of the season from April through September or so if the typical round lasted a week (or perhaps two during all-star week).
I reckon my only concern is this. Some of us work for a living and travel. Would this be a burden on them?

Yes and no.

You will find that quite often you start the same players everyday anyway. So, if you are gone and not able to set your roster, you probably won't miss out on much but you will miss out on some.

or

You can set your rosters in advance for each day. This would require a little bit of time depending on how many days in the future you go, but would allow you to set your roster how you want it for each day.

and don't worry about not knowing what is going on, rjb.

i think once you are able to see how to set your rosters and how the scoring works, it will all make sense. But by all means keep asking questions if you have them.

0 Replies

Well, my vote is for head-to-head, but I'm certainly okay with either one.

0 Replies

I think head to head would be fun too... I'm off to change it right now.

In your dreams. I guess I can rest my good pitchers during this first game.

Hey! I pre-drafted on the supposition it was rotisserie. Honestly.

Well, up to make some changes and destroy them Rappin' Rednecks!

I was curious about something I saw on Yahoo. Something about Waiver. Ranked from one to eight. I was eight. Is that bad?

Yes, it is. That is the pre-season rankings following the draft. Sorry.
