  • I like it. Agree with WTK that I like matchups better. I will say how one of the things I liked best about points leagues in other platforms is that there are broader aspects of the game that you can allow scoring for that roto and category leagues don’t allow (points for complete games, grand slams, negative points for errors, etc) which make it kinda fun, but those aren’t allowable in Ottoneu anyway so I’d probably lean more toward H2H categories again next year.

  • Word - would love to keep this convo going. Realistically it wouldn't be to tough to change the scoring system if people don't like it. I may have to start a new league in the offseason and import the rosters but yeah. I'm curious to hear a variety of input from everyone. I wonder if 4 of the members who stoppped playing entirely got discouraged by the points system as well.

  • Points are harder to conceptualize how you're doing, for sure. But there's stuff if you take a step back that shows the opportunity to be more competitve than you think. For example, me and Seiya are the only two teams above 10K, but we've also in the top of innings pitched and games played per position, so we've just taken more opportunities to get points. Eventually, those will run out unless we start pacing ourselves; either way, those with more innings and games left have time to catch up

  • I really like this league but yeah, not a fan of the point system. It’s deflating to have -14 when a pitcher gives up a home run.

    Like, one situation I had that I thought was weird was I had 2 guys throw 7 innings 1 run, one guy got 13ks and the other had 6ks. But the guy with 13ks gave up a HR so the guy with 6ks ended up with more points.

    I also miss RBIs and Runs. Call me old fashioned, and maybe it’s because I’m a DFS player, but weird to not have those be a facto

  • Overall I really like it. One thing about just total points and no head-to-head is it feels like I got locked in about 8th place pretty early on and I almost certainly won't catch those ahead of me and won't be caught by those behind me...in some ways it's most fair bc you just get rewarded for your overall points situation, but having a weekly matchup or something certainly adds excitement and can help keep someone in it, or provide the possibility of moving around the standings a bit more.

  • I'm just genuinely curious how people are enjoying this league? Do people like points? I find it slightly confusing, honestly. I've also noticed a number of teams that quit a while ago. Just curious if people actually wanna do this?

    Super Seiya Means #1 Go on July 12, 2022 1:18 PM

  • It’s all system automated. If you cut a player for 20 bucks you get 10 bucks back and 10 in pentalty. let’s say and he clears waivers and is re-auction for his min salary for 10 dollars. When another team when’s him they now pay his 10 and your 10 cap goes away. Does that kinda make sense?

    Super Seiya Means #1 Go on June 18, 2022 8:07 PM

  • Ohh okay. I didn’t realize that! Thanks!

    Nola Tengo on June 18, 2022 8:07 PM

  • The penalty goes away if someone else picks the player up

    El Segundo Wallets on June 18, 2022 8:05 PM

  • The $9 penalty you had for Franimal went to BRZ when they won that auction. Is that it? We've had a lot of auction flips as of late.
