    Greetings...decided to build combine two of my favorite things...beer and fantasy sports and create my own fantasy baseball league. I am looking for up to 12 teams to play in a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball League. The league will be a head2head league w/ two divisions of up to 6 teams. The winners of each division will receive the top two playoff seeds (and first round bye). The playoffs will be rounded out by the next top 4 teams...for a total of 6 playoff participants.

    Scoring:

    Batters Stat Categories: Runs (R), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Total Bases (TB), Batting Average (AVG)
    Pitchers Stat Categories: Wins (W), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Holds (HLD), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)

    Roster: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL

    All other settings will be per standard yahoo.

    Buy In: Minimum of 154 oz. of at least 90 rating beer on BA OR a want of the recipient if the rating is below 90) (The league winner will not send a box).

    Payout: Winner: 6 boxes received
    2nd place: 3 boxes received
    3rd place: 2 boxes received


    Sacko: the team that finishes in last place shall be responsible for an additional 66 oz. box of at least 90 rating beer on BA OR a want of the recipient if the rating is below 90 that shall be sent to the team with the best regular season record.

    BA/Managers: The league is open to anyone w/ a minimum of 3 completed trades...either the old system (I will check references) or under the new system.

    Draft: Standard draft that is currently scheduled for Sunday, March 23 @ 6:45 p.m. EST.

    If you would like to join, send me a BM.

    Any questions? Please ask...cheers and lets play ball!

    Chris

    What league would that be? I sent the OP a message about his league and it looks like we are the only two so far.

    had a couple of people contact me and say they were interested but wanted a lower buyin...my usual theory on fantasy sports is go big but in this case...the initial buy in will be lowered to 88oz (4 bombers) down from 154 oz (7 bombers)

    i'd be interested. But more interested in the idea of quality vs. quantity. Plus some way of ensuring there are no welchers.

    well, as far as welchers...that is why the 3 trade min and/or checking of references...but, as you know...anyone can screw us...and for quality...that is why I put on the 90 point min (unless it is a want)....if you'd like in...let me know!

    It'd be nice to get some west coast interest. Do they not like baseball?

    Interested here on the West Coast - just wish it were roto instead of H2H. Are you set on the H2H format? Personally, I don't think it's really as conducive to baseball as it is to sports like football or basketball, where your players are more or less going to put up their "per game" averages day in and day out. With baseball, you could have your top pick go 0 for the month of May and still put up all-star numbers, but you would have lost 4 weeks worth of matchups along the way as a result.

    I think BA may just be saturated w/ FA BB right now...we still got a lot of time til our draft though.
