How are Rotiessie Leagues scored?

Question

My league is confused on how to get points.

Answer 1

if youre in a 12 man league and you, for instance, have the most homeruns, you would get 12 points in the HR categorie , the second most hr's would get 11 points, and so on, and the person with the least hr's would have one point. same goes for every category that pertains to youre league. if there were only 5 teams, you'd have 5 pts and it would go down from there. say there is a tie in a category, say between first and second. in a 12 man league it would be 12+11 divided by 2 which would give each 11.5 pts. a three way tie would be 12+11+10 divided by 3 which would give 11 pts and so on. hope that helps!

Answer 2

Roto leagues are the ones that started all this fantasy sport craziness in the first place. They run season long - instead of being reset each week.

Okay - so we have cumulative stats from the start of the season.

Then, for each stat (ie, HRs, RBIs, Wins, Saves...) the teams in the league are sorted by how they did in that stat. Then they are given points based on that order.

Say you have 10 teams. The team with the most HRs gets 10 points. The team with the least, gets 1 point. Then the team with the most RBIs (might be a different team than the team with the most HRs) gets 10 points and the team with the least gets 1 point.

Do that for all the stats in the league. And then sum up the points for each stat, and that is your roto score.

So, some days, you could knock in 10 HRs but your score won't change (if it doesn't give you more cumulative HRs than the team ahead of you) or you could knock in 2 and pass 3 teams ahead of you and score big points in the Roto style scoring.

It is all based on relative performance, across the league. So you kind of need to pay more attention to every team, instead of the one team you're playing against that week (which is the case in Head to Head leagues).
