I'm pretty certain it is within a minute or two of being live.

Does the ERA and WHIP scoring only take effect after the game is completed? For instance if my guy is through 4 innings and has an era of 0. Does that only take effect after the game is completed?

Sent you an offer Otto.

GFE, I don't know if you're looking for prospects or vets. I would love to work a deal for Castellanos if you're moving vets. 81 games a year in that home park may him very attractive. I would love a shot at Brendan McKay if you're moving prospects. He's going to be a stud. Make me an offer that helps us both out. I'm traveling today, so shoot me some demands on Slack, and I'll get back with you as soon as I can.

Let’s make a trade today Otto
-
I'd be willing to trade some of the young guys in order to win now. Trouble is, everybody gets hurt this year and depth is so valuable. Injuries are killing the trading aspect of the game so far. Our entire league has combined for a paltry 3 trades.

No problem at all! Always feel free to ask questions here or in the slack for a more immediate response :)
-
Thanks Santa Monica that does help.

just remember that there is an innings cap--because we have a playoff the cap is 1250 innings
for the entire staff
-
Even though a pitcher might blow up an ERA, he might strike out 12 batters and get the win, which help in those categories. I think it's best to start as many pitchers as you can. I had someone with a 134 ERA on day one but two 7 inning performances with a very low ERA averaged it out.
-
Rotisserie scoring ranks us all against one-another on the 5x5 scoring categories. The first place team based on each stat is given 12 points, second 11 points, etc. These are static points and will go up and down during the season based on how each team does in each statistical category. To your point about pitcher scoring...what you described is a strategy but only one that will help with ERA and WHIP and only if you get lucky with the limited number of pitchers you start. (cont...)
-
How does the ERA and Whip scoring work? It's an average of what your pitchers do that day? Does it matter if you start 1 pitcher or 4? If it doesn't matter wouldn't it be wise to start the lesser amount of pitchers to prevent more chances of ERA blowing up? Or do the innings pitch have an effect? Sorry just really confused with the scoring.

Can someone please post the Slack here? Or did we decide on a Doscord or GroupMe?
-
Pretty good so far! Already seeing some fun competition going down.
-
How’s everyone doing so far?
-
Thanks Santa Monica, this is all so different. I'll get the hang of it eventually

Yup! The league uses the rotisserie style of scoring which ranks all of us based on the 5x5 categories. More information on how the roto style works can be read here: https://www.fantraxhq.com/fantasy-101-how-to-play-rotisserie-baseball/
-
I have to say i'm quite confused on these points. Did everyone start at 65?

As always, I recommend reading the rules to make sure there are no surprises. I just learned the following about auctions: "All in-season auctions are Vickrey auctions with blind bidding". Going to keep things nice and interesting :)
-
Scoring will start TODAY, so set your lineups and good luck everyone :)
-
Good point maybe it can be reset to start clean today or tomorrow?
-
Looks like everything has been reset and we are ready to start fresh today!
-
It's cool, I agree. There are just no options for me to choose when scoring starts so I have to go through support. Hang in there...
-
i always confuse unequitable and inequitable--so i probably got that wrong :)
-
given that only a single stolen base, homerun, rbi or even a W can decide the winner of a league, I disagree and think that it does matter and starting mid-day after first pitch for some games is even more unequitable--just MHO
-
Not possible to reset via the commissioner tools but I'll email Niv.
-
Just a few points but with 110 games ahead that will all balance out. 5x5 is the way the game was originally played. It’s pretty cool ! Lots of stuff on you tube about how fantasy or rotisserie started. Great ESPN documentary called “Silly Little Game” is on Amazon to rent.
-
those will need to be reset to zero by the commish

i guess lineups were done last night after the draft finished and the system counted the results
-
Why are there already points on the standings page?
⚾Otto Six⚾ on

-
under the standings tab under the league name it will show points--every team is placed in order from best to worst with the best getting 12 points per category and the worst 1--the highest number of points is the leader
-
Ok I guess I dont understand how the points work. I've always played you go head to head against another team each week. Is that how this is?

Awesome! Also this is 5 by 5 traditional so we all going against one another. Good luck today!
-
roselle--its normal to have 5 sp (scheduled starters have a check mark) and 5 rp--its roto points and not head to head
-
Few questions fellas. For the lineup is it normal to have so many starters? 10 pitchers? Also this is head to head right, how do you see who you're going against.

Let me see if I can find a guy too
-
A discord would be cool. On another note, we lost an owner already?
-
Auction is officially over and lineups can be set! Good luck everyone :)
-
crap ok i'll try and get in there asap
-
Auction going live again in 20 minutes!!
-
Group Me is easy too
-
great idea!
-

Slack's a great idea IMO
-
There are 2 catcher spots in a non-H2H league to allow you to max out games played at each position (162 games). Maxing out games played is not a problem in this league since we are beginning in the middle of May. There's only 112 days until the playoff begins on September 6th. (See our league settings, and click on the full calendar link.)
