you match up againt another team and you play against them for i think a week, it keeps track of your player hits,era,batting ave,fielding pct,and stolen bases,after the week is up who ever had a better week wins

Lmao...there isn't one , I have been looking for a week. Although I did a trade somehow and now I don't remember what I did.  I had to resort to calling my ex hubby to ask him, because he plays it all the time... It consists of reading the sports EVERYDAY and working on it everyday. So I have decided to just sit back and let the guys beg for players .   >:D  And when a good offer comes up I will trade  >:D

Hey Bobby, run that trade by me one more time. After I turned you down I noticed I have two players with the same last name, lol. Which one did you want??

Actually the league we are in is a 'Rotisserie' league not a head-to-head league.

The way it works is...

Your "team" of players continuously gathers stats in the categories listed.  Avg., H, K, HR, ERA, etc., etc.

Then your cumulative stats are compared to the cumulative stats of the other teams in the league, and then ranked for points. 

For example:  11 teams in our league, let's say Foxx's Foxes leads in homeruns, Bobby is second, and I am third.  Foxx would get 11 points, Bobby 10, and me 9.  Every category is like that.  Then it adds up your 'points' from all categories to determine the overall leader.  That's why it changes every day. 

So if you led the league in most statistical categoies you would most likely be the overall league leader as well. 

Make any sense at all?  Sorry if that didn't help.

Yes, that makes sense but then one day I lost 27.5 points. How did I lose them if I already had them?? No fair, lol.

[Ethan_Hawley]

Because it is continually changing.  There are only a set amount of points possible.  11 points per category is the maximum and that would be if you led every statistical category. 

So let's say, for example, that one of your pitchers has a horrible game and gives up 10 runs.  His ERA is going to go up your overall ERA (from all your team's pitchers) will go up as well.  Most likely some other team (bobby, dj_si, hades, whoever) will then have a better ERA than you.  If you were first in that category (11 points) you probably just dropped a few spots (8 points, let's say).  That's how you can lose points.

These leagues really aren't my favorite, I prefer head-to-head.  But they are fun and challenging because you really have to keep an eye on who has a hot bat, gets lots of stolen bases, stuff like that.  Have to watch it every day.
