Rules/Points Values

Just a reminder: many points values have changed since last year.

THE SCORING

It works like this: you pick two teams, two position players, and two pitchers. You get points based on the performances of those teams and those players.

Team points come from wins:

each game won = 3 pts.

games won by blow-out (5 runs or more) = 2 pt.

games won in extra innings = 2 pt.

division series = 6 pts.

championship series = 10 pts.

World Series = 15 pts.

sweep/division = 2 pts.

sweep/championship = 5 pts.

sweep/World Series = 8 pts.

Player points come from RBI:

each RBI = 1 pt.

each home run = 1 pt.

walkoff hit = 3 pts.

(Just to clarify: 1) for a solo home run, that's one point for the ribbie, one for the homer; 2) a walk/HBP/"non-hit event" can count as a walkoff.)

Pitcher points come from strikeouts and/or other extraordinary performance:

each K = 1 pt.

throws a complete game = 3 pts.

throws a no-no/perfect game = 10 pts.
