    After the overwhelming success that was the 2007 version :rolleyes: I'd like to have another pop at setting up a boards league on Yahoo. I won't do so until I get 12 solid names on here. We have a few more posters than this time last year, so maybe we can get a full complement of interested people.
    Post here if you want to play!

    If we could trust one member get them to set up a PayPal account and deposit the money there?

    Head To Head: You would have 12 in league. Every week there are 6 matches, i.e you would play one of the other teams. Then you would get 1 victory if you win over the course of a week on the various stat categories. You could also play points head to head where say if there was 10 scoring categories and you win 7 against the team you are playing you get 7 points. oh so on playing a new team every week.

    Rotisserie: All 12 play against each other. Say there are 10 scoring stats, you have a ranking scale in each stat. For example, if you take RBI as the stat, the person whose team has most rbi's would have 12 points and right down to 1 point for the team with least. The 10 scoring categories that we use as example means that the most points one could have is 120 (10 cat x 12 points for top position)

    Points: Basically each stat is attached to a point. Say 1 point for a hit etc.. Your players score based on this.

    Hope that helps.. If not google fantasy baseball systems or something, that might help

    No, that's clear enough, cheers.

    I guess I would prefer rotisserie or points. But we could also have a cup competition at stage in the season using head-to-head (playoffs maybe?)

    Anyone want to post a draft guide? I've never played before.

    Its a live draft so on that date sign in before the draft and follow instructions. Draft order will be pre-determined. 12 players so round 1 consists of 12 picks.. Each person will draft one player per round, in reverse order. i.e if you are pick 1 then you will be pick 12 in round 2, pick 1 in round 3, pick 12 in round 4 etc..

    If you cant be there for live draft, go to your pre-draft rankings and rank your players (at the moment they are ranked according to yahoo) and your picks will be automatically selected for you.

    Hope that helps

    I'm useless with time difference. What time is the draft Irish time? I then have to convert it to Perth time.....

    Edit: Ok I think there's 16 hours time difference once the summer daylight savings comes in for the US on March 9, with us being ahead, so that should make draft time 5am on the 20th my time.....ugh. Can anyone correct/confirm this?

    Its 8 pm Irish time on the 19th, so that would be 7am depending if the 16 hours ahead is eastern time i think. This post is 1.22 irish time if that helps!! Confusing alright..
