What scoring system does your Fantasy League use?

[StatmanCrothers]

we use ESPN custom settings

our league uses a Total Pts based system, with head-to-head matchups each week. Score more total points than this weeks opponent, you log a Win, they get a Loss. so one W or L per week.

we have 12 teams, for our regular season you play each of the other 11 teams twice.
this used to leave 4 weeks for playoffs, so everyone got in, top 4 seeds got a bye, so it went 8,8,4,2

this season ESPN combined the short all-star week so there is one less week, so we are having a 3 week playoff and the bottom 4 teams don't make the playoffs 8,4,2

our custom settings are

Batting
1 pt each for TB,R,RBI,BB,SB
-1 pt for K

Pitching
1 pt each for IP,K
-1 pt each BB,HR
4 pt each for W,QS
6 pt for Save
2 pt for Hold

our league fees are $30 per person.

we award
$5 per week for overall highest score
$10 for the highest weekly score of the season (all-star 10 day week excluded)

$90 for regular season first place
$60 for regular season 2nd place
$30 for regular season 3rd place

$60 for post-season tournament winner.

the weekly prizes and the "everyone gets in the tournament" philosophy keeps people interested even if they get off to a bad start. we used to have problem with attrition for teams that were "out of the running"

do you get just a W or L for the week? or do you sum up points for the season based on each matchup? I mean if you beat Joe Blow this week 17-1 is that better than winning 10-8?

Yes, it's a sum of the points.

so 16-0 gets 16 W's, 0 L's and 0 T's - so each category is like a 'game' in the standings. So if you're 6 games behind the person in front of you you can go say 11-4 against them and pass them by half a game.
