LP3 Blather

Rules and Settings

We've never played for $$$, just for pride and the MIGHTY LP3 trophy. I like that, and it's worked out great.

We've used these Yahoo league settings for years:

  • Flexible — Sometimes we're head-to-head. Sometimes roto. LP3 is flexible as a gymnast.
  • Straight draft — We do a straight draft like the pros, no snaking. The very idea of a snake draft is silly.
  • Roster — The roster for each team has 20 players. So, do the math, our draft is 20 rounds.
  • Lineup — Each team’s daily lineup has 15 players: 9 boppers (C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, DH) and 6 pitchers (SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P).
  • Categories — We use 10 cats for scoring: 5 bopping (run, homer, rbi, obp, net sb) and 5 pitching (k, era, whip, qs, net save+hold)

As for the rest, we follow the Yahoo rules pretty much... except for a few weebles. It's mostly nitpick-y stuff related to trades and the playoffs and such. Here are the official (guffaw) aux rules for the league.
