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"

we do yahoo custom. Compare your teams totals to the other team, winner gets a point.
H/R/HR/RBI/SB/AVG/OPS and low K's win for hitters
W/CG/SV/K/WHIP/ERA/K/9 and low L's win for pitchers.

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.
