Call out: Fantasy league participants

Someone alerted me that there’s a Saber kind of league.  Interested people should email: jacobtulloch~gmail~com

I’m not involved in this at all.

Here’s a snippet of rules:

"Saber WAR” League Rules

*1. Scoring, Roster Size & Gameplay*

*A. *For our inaugural year (*2011*) with our present group, our league and roster sizes and scoring format will be as follows:

- 20 Teams Max

- Roster comprised of 26 MLB starting players (C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, IF, LF, CF, RF, OF, Util., Util., 6x SP, 8x RP), 4 MLB bench players, 3 MLB D.L. spots that will be tracked on the league message board, and 8 (during most of the calendar year more will be allowed for a time, until the MiLB keeper deadline on Feb. 1st preceding each new season) MiLB players that will also be tracked on the league message board.

- Full season cumulative points; “roto” but with fantasy points instead of categories

*B.* Our scoring will be as follows:
[Editor’s note: I chopped it down, but it’s Linear-Weights-like]

*C.* There will be a seasonal limit of 162 games played per offensive position, and a total limit of 1800 innings pitched for your entire pitching staff.

*D. *We will have the ability to set our lineups daily, with a staggered submission deadline. This means that you can swap any player in or out as long as their game for that day has not begun yet.
