Draft Sunday April 1, 2012 730pm

Draft/Rosters/Points

We will draft online via a combination web interface/ free teleconference, which I find really helps make things go smoother. Draft is about 2.5 hours and is 730pm Sunday April 1 so please save the appointment.
All our owners are busy and everyone needs to attend the draft to make this league work. For some this is the only league we play and we want/need it to be good based on mutual respect of time.
I will make draft materieals, tools, cheat sheets available for anyone who needs them to help in this tremendous crap shoot/talent grab that is a fantasy draft. Draft is not an auction and order is randomly determined reveresed every round..

Roster sizes are 26 players and you start 11 hitters and any combination of 8 starting or relief pitchers each series.

Hitters include: C 1B 2B SS 3B 4OFS also one additional middle infielder and one additional corner inf.

Batting Points: 1b-2, 2b-3, 3b-5, HR-6, RBI-1, BB-1, R-1, SB-2, also subtract -.5 for each AB, -1 for strikeout.

Pitching Points: W-10, SV-10, QS-10, IP-1, K-1, HOLD-4, also,subtract: L-5, BS-5, ER-1,

135- Game Regular Season, 2 matchups per week (each best of three)

The key element of this custom game is that it is head-head and point based with two head-head matchups each week.

We play a head-head 3-game series running Mon thru Thurs.

Then your franchise squares off against a different opponent Fri-Sun, just like in the majors.

What separates this league from all others is how we mirror the regular season schedule/format/rhythym and also that every single nite of the season your team will be battling for a game in the standings.

No major commericial site has been able to reproduce this riveting adrenalin pumping format.

In each 3-game series:

*Most/Least combined batting points is worth one Win/lLoss in the standings,

*Most/Least pitching points is worth one Win/Loss in the standings,

*Most/Least combined Total pitch/bat points is worth one Win/Loss in the standings.

Standings are updated the morning after each series is over, so that is Mon and Fri morning you will either sweep/get swept/ or split 2-1 or 1-2 your 3-game series.

Our regular season is 45 head-head series or 135 games and ends 3 weeks prior to MLB regular season so we have quality playoffs.
