Start your own baseball fantasy league
Over the last ten years there has been an incredible increase in
people participating in baseball fantasy leagues, and fantasy
sports in general. There is really only one rule for those
involved, and that is they must have a real and ongoing interest
and appreciation of the game of baseball. Starting your own
fantasy league is easy follow the simple steps below and you
will quickly have a league you can enjoy throughout the season.
Fantasy League Step #1 Get your teams together The first step to
creating a baseball fantasy league is getting your teams
together. You need to find between 8 and 12 friends to
participate and create their own team. Why 8-12 teams? This is
the range of numbers that will give you a competitive league,
which you will need for it to be as enjoyable as possible.
Fantasy League Step #2 ‘The Commish' Just like Major
League Baseball, someone needs to be in charge. Elect a
responsible and committed Commissioner to manage the statistics
weekly, and is someone who has the opportunity and resources to
distribute them to every player in the fantasy league.
Fantasy League Step #3 One League or Two? One of the oldest
questions in baseball do we need both the American and National
Leagues? Your group will need to decide whether to play with
the
traditional favourites, or establish a single league.
Fantasy League Step #4 Player draft or auction Teams need
players, and the group will need to decide the best way to
individually acquire players. Both draft and auction methods
work, but whichever method you choose, stay with it throughout
the season.
Fantasy League Step #5 Rules You can't escape rules, even in a
fantasy league. Accumulation of points and recording statistics
need to be done consistently and to a standard. Agree the rules,
and ensure all teams are aware of the compliance requirements,
and what happens when they don't follow them!
Fantasy League #6 Enjoy yourself Americans in their millions
play fantasy league baseball to win money, trophies or simply
for the sake of it. No matter what your reason, make sure the
final prize is agreed by all as this gives you every player the
best chance of enjoying themselves.
