so ok
teams are set, but since i have never played this before, give me some knowledge.
so there's a limit on games each position can use? so if i play a catch every day, sooner or later, i'll use up all his spots? or is that each player can only play 162 games (which would be the max anyway)
and i dont really understand rotisserie or head to head or whatever. are we playing against another team each week? or what?
help me out so i dont just get my ass kicked too bad (though, unless the red sox and tigers have monster seasons, i will anyway!)
for the game limit, consider this. . .it's a 162 game season, but there are more than 162 days in the season. it's a matter of parsing out your starters. unless you have 3 catchers, that is one position that you are not likely to have problems with. frankly, don't really worry about game limit for the first few months of the season, just focus on starting your best players and making sure they are playing that day- many times have i rued the fact that i put someone in the starting line-up, only to find out they didn't start, and got 0 points out of the position for that day.
as for structure- everyday you make your line-up, and your standing is based on the stats put up by those players you started on that day. based on those numbers, you are ranked against the other teams stat-by-stat; so, since there are 9 teams in this league, if you are leading the league in runs, you'll get 9 points, but if you are last in runs, you'll get 1 point, and so forth for each stat category. person with most points at the end of the season wins.
hope that helps.
