RockyRaccoon Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Here's how head to head works: Each week one person's team will go against another person's team. We will have certain stats that we will be counting. As the week progresses, your players will accumulate stats. At the end of the week, you will be given a certain number of wins for each statistical category your team did better than your opponent's in, and a loss for each statistical category your team did worse than your opponent's in. For example: My team is playing against Kevin's team. Let's say for example the only stats we're counting are ERA, Home Runs, Hits and Strikeouts. Now let's say at the end of the week, my team has more total HRs, hits and Strikeouts than Kevin's team. However Kevin's team has a better ERA. Therefore, my record for that week would be 3-1 (three wins, one loss) and Kevin's would be 1-3 (one win, three losses). We'll be counting more than four stats, but that's just an example. I don't know if I did the best job explaining it, but I hope you understand it. It's really easy to catch on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 The league is up! It's time to begin SongFacts Fantasy Baseball 2011! Go to sports.yahoo.com and join the league. League ID is 150427 and the password is 12345. You may notice that things seem a bit different compared to the way we did fantasy last year. As in, each person has a bit larger teams and we're counting different stats. It's not phenomenally different, but it's the way I run my other league and I think it works out pretty well. Take a look around and if anyone doesn't like something, just let me know and we'll see if maybe we can work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yay! But we need to scrounge up another player don't we? Or could we do a dummy team, and rotate the manager duties each week? Is that possible? It seems to me we did it one year that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Theoretically yes, I believe so. Worse comes to worse, I have no problem creating and managing another team if it means someone else who wants to play can play. Who wants to start recruiting?

Kevin1429030929 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm holding off signing up till all the players who showed interest in their posts before I did sign up. I'll sign up if and when there's an open spot after that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin1429030929 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Is there going to be a points league as well ? Any number,odd or even can join those . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I was only going to do a head to head league because I've only ever done head to head. Like I said, if it comes down to it near the draft I have no problem managing another team so you can join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Would you be going to restrict yourself from trading between your two teams? (and dropping players and picking them back up with the other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yes, I wouldn't trade with myself. I find that slightly unethical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin1429030929 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have one question about the stats categories you've chosen : Blown saves . My understanding of head to head would be that the player with the most in many categories would win that particular one -except for era , for ex. I'm guessing that you would want the player with fewer blown saves to win the category , but are you certain that Yahoo! will count it that way ? If not , it could become an odd game in that we'd be trying to get crappy closers in order to have the most blown saves . There were a few other categories like that which I avoided choosing in the past in case it made for a game that rewarded poor play rather than success, like strikeouts ; I couldn't find any info to confirm whether the player with the most or the least would win that category , so I omitted having it .

RockyRaccoon Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 No, I did it last year. Yahoo gives the category to the person with the least blown saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 So, have we got an eighth team yet? Are we just doing head to head this year, or are we going to do a points league too? HMM, perhaps this question has already been answered. Is the draft still going ahead this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I would play a points league if we decided to do it. Just fyi. Kevy, where are you? You could do a points league for us. I wouldn't have a clue myself. Rocky can we narrow down the draft date a bit? Weekend as in Friday, or weekend as in Sunday? Saturday? I'm looking forward to trying out the positions you've set. This will be different for me. Oh scratch that, I just remembered that you really can't. Can you let us know when you've set it as ready? Whatever it's called.

RockyRaccoon Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I don't believe we have an eighth yet. If we don't by the time of the draft, I'll just create one and manage it. I will notify everyone here once I set the setting to ready. That should give everyone at least a day's notice. I will be doing that sometime Saturday evening. SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS: Some of the positions you may not be familiar with: CI= Corner Infielder. This is anyone who plays 1B or 3B MI= Middle Infielder. This is anyone who plays 2B or SS If anyone has any other questions about the positions or stats or anything, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
