I tell you what if it is ok with WVgambler I will pay your 100 points for you. But you have got to ask him, it's his league.

**ttwarrior1** · 03-30-11, 03:53 PM

You should sign up for espn anyway, its quick and they have a free salary cap contest also so you can check all your teams at once.

Alright the warrior is in.....DoubleJ is an absolute saint......I need TT's and Hot Streak's email address and that will make 10.

I would gladly allow SOX to play if we could find one more person.

The league invites are sent....check it out and review the scoring system before we draft at 9pm.

ESPN will randomly select a draft order an hour before draft time, so if we are going to get to 12 guys we need to hurrry. Check your email guys

**HotStreak** · 03-30-11, 04:03 PM

**ttwarrior1** · 03-30-11, 04:06 PM

soxfan would be a good add, he did well in the contest from last year i believe

**donkdown** · 03-30-11, 04:08 PM

k thnks wv

**WvGambler** · 03-30-11, 04:08 PM

I'll call Paco and see if he wants to make a 12th

**stealthyburrito** · 03-30-11, 04:13 PM

so this will be an auction?

oh boy, never done one like that before, should be interesting.

i may have to do a few mock ones first.

**ttwarrior1** · 03-30-11, 04:14 PM

do we have enough rp spots, i see 5 sp and 2 rp. Settings are a little confusing for me. I dont see batting average, or whip, homeruns or rbi.

espn default is 5 outfield with ci and mi.

**WvGambler** · 03-30-11, 04:15 PM

No not an auction....just free agency will be auctioned

**WvGambler** · 03-30-11, 04:16 PM

Its a head to head league....play one guy heads up for a week, like fantasy football. You get points for statistical categories

**stealthyburrito** · 03-30-11, 04:17 PM

ahh, my B. thats better for me

these are good suggestions, get the classic h2h categories in there.

i also like 3 RPs and 4 SPs instead of 2 and 5, but if everyones ok with the current format then thats cool too.

**WvGambler** · 03-30-11, 04:19 PM

The auction part is for free agents......if there is a FA you want, you put a bid in on him

I changed that up to just do a player per position, instead of mi and ci. I am open for suggestions.....I just figured if you were foced to play actual positions instead of middle/corner, than certain guys wouldnt lose their value as much

**WvGambler** · 03-30-11, 04:21 PM

Get all the suggestions and ideas in ASAP, so I can tweak what needs tweakin'

**WvGambler** · 03-30-11, 04:26 PM

Batting averages, whip.....those are rottiserie settings....not H2H. Home runs and rbis are in there

**ttwarrior1** · 03-30-11, 04:26 PM

4 sp, 2 rp, 2 any p

if you don't want ci or mi, add one more outfielder and or utility spot.
take out total bases. Add ops or on base percentage instead of walks and strikeouts.

Take out innings pitched, earned runs, walks, hit allowed and just have it as era and whip.
Basic 5 x 5 settings. If you add a stat, add ops or obp

My league on yahoo on head to head has era, whip and batting average

**HotStreak** · 03-30-11, 04:27 PM

TT your looking at the scoring system wrong. It'a a points league not a category league. There is no batting average/hr/whip etc. you score a point total based on

Total Bases (TB)1
Walks (BB)1Runs Scored (R)1
Runs Batted In (RBI)1Stolen Bases (SB)2
Strikeouts (K)-1Caught Stealing (CS)-2

PitchingInnings Pitched (IP)3
Earned Runs (ER)-2Wins (W)10
Losses (L)-5Saves (SV)5
Blown Saves (BS)-3Strikeouts (K)1
Hits Allowed (H)-1Walks Issued (BB)-1
Hit Batsmen (HB)-1Complete Games (CG)3

**WvGambler** · 03-30-11, 04:27 PM

I see where the HR confusion was....it was set on total bases, which comes out to the same thing, but I switched it

**HotStreak** · 03-30-11, 04:29 PM

For example a HR will get you 4 total bases+ RBI + Run a grand slam being worth 9 points

Here is what I will do.........make 4 sp, and add 2 any p.......add an extra Utility spot and OF spot. I will leave scoring along because this is a H2H league and not 5x5 or rotisserie
