Yeah, but one day it may be a problem. How can we have a game without knowing what the basis for winning or breaking a tie is? If it seems like I'm breaking balls, sorry, but this is silly. I agree, 17 more RBIs is worth more than .035 in batting average. So where do you want to draw the line? Suppose the differnce is greater in average, and less in RBIs? How much greater or less swings the balance to the other player? When I ask if the season ended based on the stats I quoted and you say "no, probably not", that doesn't strke you as a problem? What you seemingly want to do is decide, subjectively once the month is over, who the winner is if nobody wins 2 out of the 3 categories. I say that just like in any other game, it needs to be spelled out exactly so there are no arguments.

Like should I go strictly for an RBI guy now, or try to increase my lead in average, or go for homers, or what?
Just to be redundant here....
You said average would be the tiebreaker.
I lead in average, and I'm tied for the lead in homers.
DJ lead in RBIs, and is tied for the lead in homers.
So, in effect, we each lead in one category and are tied for the lead in another.
So if average is the tiebreaker, how would I not be the winner, since I lead in the tiebreaker category?
If you want to say that a lead of 17 RBIs is worth more than a lead of .035 in average, fine - I agree that it is - but then you're making RBIs the tiebreaker.
Where do you want to draw the line?
How about a 10 RBI lead vs. .050 in average?
How about a 5 RBI lead vs. .035 in average?
How about a 20 RBI lead vs. .100 in average?
How about any of the thousands of different possibilities?
Give us something definite to go on so it's not simply a judgement call on your part when the month is over.

We did that two weeks ago, and you decided that average would be the tiebreaker.
Now you're wavering....

Yeah, so I see....  a) Why? He was doing OK this year, and b) ESPN has been doing a really shitty job in the sal cap game of asterisking the guys who are out this year.

As I said, I rank as Yahoo does to make it easier for me, and to avoid errors... but if *I* were to rank us, it'd be: PL 36/79 12 25 .456 1st in AVG and HR, 3rd in RBI
DJ 27/74 11 39 .365 1st in RBI, tied 2nd HR, 3rd AVG
DM 30/75 11 33 .400 2nd in everything
JG 26/96 8 15 .271

Kinda screwy if you ask me. As near as I can figure, their rankings are not based on how we're doing against each other within our group, but how we're doing against everyone else world-wide in each of the categories individually. FWIW, look at the Leader Board, though. Last time I did, they had guys who trailed other guys in all three categoties listed ahead of the guys they trailed. Go figure As long as we're sticking to our method of deciding on our winner - win at least two out of the three categories, or if three different people win one each, then the tiebeaker is Batting Average. That is how we're doing it, right?

I'm inclined to agree with you, but the problem is assigning the relative values.
How many homers is 10 RBIs worth, or 12 RBIs, or 15, or 20? How many points of batting average is 5 homers worth, or 6, or 7, or 8, etc., etc., etc., etc.....
DJ leads you by 6 RBIs. You lead him by 35 points in average.
Which is worth more?
The 35 points in average?
OK....suppose it was 34 points? How about 33? or 32?
How many RBIs is that 35 points of average worth?
Suppose he led you by 7 RBIs? Or 8? Or 9?
How many RBIs offset 35 points in average?
There's an awful lot of possibilities here - tens of thousands, realistically, I'd guess.

How about this: 1 point per one point of batting average. 10 points per RBI 25 points per HR I figured that based on about 100 ABs, 100 points in batting average was 10 more hits, so I figured 10 more RBIs should be worth about the same, so it's really sort of kind of maybe 1 point per hit when you get to the end of the month and 10 points per RBI. I figured homers were the hardest to get, so they should be worth the most. I'm not necessarily saying that this is what we should do, BTW -- just throwing some numbers out there. So based on the above, this month would be as follows: PL 12 25 .456 or 300 + 250 + 456 = 1006
DJ 11 39 .365 or 275 + 390 + 365 = 1030
DM 11 33 .400 or 275 + 330 + 400 = 1005
JG 8 15 .271 or 200 + 150 + 271 = 621

(I really hope the winner is crystal clear this month, like every month in the past few years!  ) ...tho I suppose we should consider ABs as well, come to think of it...

So if the month was over now, I'd be the winner, right? Whoever wins 2 out of 3 categories, with average as the tiebreaker, right? I agree, BTW, that margin of victory in a category should be weighted, and included. If I tie DM in homers and beat him in average by 15 points, and he beats me in RBIs by 10 or 12, or If i beat him by one homer and 10-15 points in average, and he wins RBIs by 10-12.... How about this for a scoring method that weights the categories 1 point per one point of batting average. 10 points per RBI 25 points per HR I figured that based on about 100 ABs, 100 points in batting average was 10 more hits, so I figured 10 more RBIs should be worth about the same, so it's really sort of kind of maybe 1 point per hit when you get to the end of the month and 10 points per RBI. I figured homers were the hardest to get, so they should be worth the most. Commit 100% to something though. Here we are with 6 days to go, you wavering all month, and me unsure of if I should be going for homers or average or RBIs or what.

Well, you could just go with whomever you think will do the best, but if you need to know, sure, we'll try your method this month - even tho it's never been a problem in the past...

Oy.... What do you mean "whoever I think will do best"? In which category? And no, we shouldn't try my method this month -- we've been playing the whole month under a certain set of assumptions. Now you want to change the criteria with 6 days to go? You want to try it, let's try it next month. AFAIC, this month should be what you said it was way back when: Th winner is whoever wins two out of the three categories. If no one does, the tiebreaker is Batting Average.

I don't feel the need to change it either.
But DM raised some interesting points, last month and again this month, which I agred with.
The problem is that when I first raised the subject last month because it seemed like it might be really close, and then again this month for the same reason, it seemed as though you started to equivocate and waver about exactly what the criteria for winning was.
AFAIC, the citeria for winning - which is what it always has been and which I have no real need to change (I was only suggesting alternate methods because you seemed unhappy with the method you were using, hence your equivocation, and I thought that altho the way we were doing it was OK, there might be a better way - and so did DM) - is as follows:
Win two out of three categories. If no one wins two out of three, then the tiebreaker is Batting Average.
Just tell us for sure that that's the way we're doing it, and it's the last you'll hear from me on the subject.
Look at the race between me and DM this month.
If I know for sure that batting Average is the tiebreaker, I might sit out and force him to catch me .
He's at 35-82, .427.
I'm at 40-91, .440
If I play and go a simple 0-4, and he plays and goes a simple 2-4, DM passes me in batting Average, as I drop to .421 and he goes up to .430
But if I sit out, then he needs to go 6-10 or better to pass me.
What should I do? Play or not? It looks like it will be much harder for him to catch me if I don't play, right?
That's why I have to know for sure what the scoring system is.
Surely you can't think I'm being unreasonable here, can you?

I understand what you're saying, but don't you think sitting out is a wuss move? :p
