You get pretty stiff after a few glasses of wine.

[/b][/quote]LOL I'm so confused with this point system and picking that I will mess alot of stuff up. I'm not used to having unlimited trades and stuff like that. Can I ask a stupid question if everyone doesn't mind. I see that a walk counts as 1 and total bases count as 1, does that mean if they are walked they get 2 points 1 for the walk and 1 for first base or is that combined into 1 point? Same thing with stolen bases...thank you

One point for a walk or a single.
Two points for a double, etc.
Each stolen base is an additional point.

A 24 hour party? "Other stuff" ? I'm afraid you don't have what it takes to be a serious fantasy player. That was a compliment, BTW.

Right, HBP doesn't count, probably cuz the batter didn't "earn" it. But if he scores a run, that will count. The pitcher should be penalized for hit batters, but they're not in this game. As for intentional BB's, it can be argued that the batter often "earns" it because he's a good hitter and the pitcher wants to take a pass -- but at the same time, batters are often intentionally walked to set up a double-play. I don't think the batter necessarily "earns" that, but, he gets the point for the BB. Whatever the scoring rules, we all live by them equally. So, it really doesn't matter... I think they just needed to simplify it for the game. If it was MY game, I'd have tons of more scoring opportunities -- and more opportunities for players to LOSE points. GIDP? -2! Cause an error? -2 for each unearned run allowed! But, Plaw will bring up his treatise on how the offensive points and defensive points should equal out. Fine. But player values sure wouldn't go up so high if they were penalized more often for dumb shit they do  The general scoring is explained on the How To Play page...

Hope you prove to be a competitive player, as DB and I both feel that the competition around here is pretty weak. You're off to a bad start though, missing a doubleheader on your first day. :rolleyes: Good luck, have fun, post any questions, and start getting ready for basketball. -------------------- 14 days to go. [/b] Thanks Plaw, I won't be competitive probably til the last week of the season. I'm not used to having unlimited trades (I'm used to picking who will be best over a stretch of time rather than just that next game so it will take me a few days to get used to) Basketball is more of my sport though so I will definitly be competitive for that one all season.

[/b][/quote]I only asked the questions because I started so late I wanted to cut down the learning curve as much as possible. It's good to have competition though, most of the leagues I'm in the people play for like the first 2 weeks and then they stop.

DMC - I welcome the competition (even tho I got "chicks" nipping at my heels and always end up in 3rd place). Perhaps you can add some life into the #1 Plaw, #2 DB, #3 JG routine. So, welcome! And don't mind busting-of-balls...
