works for me. How do we get our money to you? Also can we hammer out some details tomorrow? I saw head to head but are we doing points scoring or categories? I'd vote total points
Draft is tentatively scheduled for 8:30 CDT on Wednesday the 27th.
Is everybody comfortable at $20? Planning on having the buy-in and winnings handled by LeagueSafe.
Regarding scoring, I posted a poll to the league's homepage. Right now it's set up as Head-to-Head Most Categories, but that can be changed. For those that need a refresher on the options:
Wednesday draft sounds good to me. I'm fine with any scoring system but probably prefer H2H points if I had to pick one.
Just read through this thread quickly, looks like you have 10 right now. If one more person was interested, I would join to get it to 12 if that is something you guys are looking for.
Edit: Looks like you are drafting tonight, so maybe it isn't possible. However, I'm still interested if you guys want a larger league!

I agree. 12 would be fine, if we can find you a partner! I will keep an eye on the thread today so I can move quickly if we find another.
I will also change the format to Head-to-Head Points, as that seems to be the preference from those who have one.
See y'all tonight at the draft table!
Also are we doing SP’s and RP’s or just all pitchers?
TakeCover, not at all trying to be pushy but just a rules suggestion I did in a league last year, we made pitching wins and losses 3 points instead of 5 and then also gave 3 points for a quality start. Since wins and losses are 50% dependent on the offensive production we devalued them a little and valued a quality start just as much. If you don’t like it no problem

Okay, everything should be finalized. Moved the roster structure back to essentially default settings: 1 each around the diamond, as well as 1 "corner" infielder, 1 "middle" infielder, and 5 outfielders, plus one UTIL guy.
9 active pitchers, with 2 of them needing to be relievers. Since there are 12 of us, I added 0.5 points for holds, so closers are still more valuable but high-end relievers that don't close will have some value that way too.
I also followed the suggestion above and dropped Wins and Losses to 3/-3 points, and awarded 2 points to a Quality Start.
Sorry for all the tinkering. I haven't played in a points league before.

Hoping everybody is comfortable at $20. I will be sending out both an email and posting the link to the LeagueSafe.com page that will hold the cash for the season, so the responsibility isn't fully on the commish's shoulders.
Does anyone else feel that the new interface on ESPN has horrible functionality? Woof.
Sure looks nice though!

Yeah, it's taking a lot of getting used to. I have noticed a few things that either don't work correctly or are completely removed compared to years past. We'll power through! Good luck to all!
