Fantasy Hockey

[godsshoeshine]

In our Rotisserie scoring system, each team will be ranked against the other 11 teams in 10 different categories. The team with the highest rank in a category will receive 12 points (based on the number of teams) for that category, the second best 11, and so on. The team with the lowest rank in a category will receive 1 point for that category. The sum of the points for each category will determine a team's score.

i don't know, i kind of like the way the points are broken down in fantasy baseball.

i prefer points or head to head, but rotisserie would be fine, if everyone prefers that.

I'll go along with the majority (which seems to be points).
 
 More importantly - where are we watching the games on opening night? There are so many games worth seeing! I was thinking of trekking out to Bugsys in Alexandria. It's about the only hockey bar I can think of.

ok people. the draft is Monday at 6:30pm EST
 
 
 we have only 6 teams, so get the hell on it.
 
 its going to be a points league, hopefully that is ok.
 
 and heres how they break down (any big problems with these points, LMK, i can change em if we need to, you can also view these at league home.)
 
 G (10)
 A (5)
 +/- (2.5)
 PIM (2)
 PPP (2.5)
 SHP (7.5)
 W (10)
 L (-10)
 SHO (50)

i dont know what you mean by this...

those goalie points are totally fucked up. losing a 1-0 game kills you, while winning a 6-5 game helps you. there should be some middle ground.

i assume he's referring to a "rotisserie" system, where people are ranked in the categories and (in a 10 team league) get 10 points for having the most goals and 1 point for having the least goals, same for all the stat cat's
 
 IMHO, the pure points system is better because you can assign different point values for different stat categories ... in rotisserie, every stat category is equally valuable
 
 but i'm not playing in this league, so feel free to ignore me

and it also basically places all the points on whether the team wins or loses ... so unless you have negative points for goals allowed and positive points for saves, you're basically just drafting teams when it comes to goalies ... it's like only counting Ws and Ls in baseball and not including a pitcher's ERA or WHIP

what the hell, i'll play, but i'll have to autodraft

lemme check, but in a points league, you cannot assign points for a save percentage or goal allowed average.  
 
  what suggestions can we make for the goalie stats?  
 
 other than wins, losses and shutouts, the only other categories are:
 
 games started: which is just lame
 
 goals against: which could work
 
 shots against: this isnt really reflective of the goalie at all is it??
 
 saves:  this COULD work but then really you're goalie just needs to play. i had this as a category a couple years back and it put too much emphasis on the goalie. other players didnt even seem to matter much.
 
   suggestions?

I'd leave the goalie stats the way they are, like you said, tweaking a few of those will make the goalies the entire thing. I'd rather the goalies be undervalued ([wins-losses]*10) then the alternative.
