Yes, much more fun to have:

Steal 2nd base = sqrt(2)
Steal 3rd base = 4*sqrt(3)

Oh, the joys of points leagues!!! :P

And just like that, the Red Velvet turns to Pound.

The joys of Roto: do some research,
Draft,
For the rest of the year, have no interaction whatsoever with your league until you need to make a move.

And...good for you; you have correctly picked who the highest scorers will be in each category, and you have reduced league interaction to an absolute minimum.

Spock would be proud. Fun has been reduced to an equation.

:D I'm fine with H2H categories too (In fact I may change my vote to that) because I do know with roto it's hard to keep struggling team owners interested in the league. With H2H if you make some changes and turn your dumpster fire into a decent team, you just have to finish in a playoff spot to make a run at a title. With H2H, the best team doesn't always win, but that's the way it is with real sports too. You have to have a good team and be hot during the playoffs.

I just normally don't worry about having to turn a dumpster fire into a contender though since I've never had to do such a thing.... ;)

Lol, it's all good, bro.

Changed my vote to categories.

I am nothing if not a team player.

There are 2 people yet to vote... @TKOSpikes (who has stated he HATES H2H categories) and @obxyankeefan .

but it seems like H2H categories has already won... We will let this sit until tomorrow at 10:00 AM eastern... Plenty of time for people to change their votes if they so want...

I will note this: If for some odd reason, someone jumps in here late and we have an odd number of teams, my vote will go to ROTO.

I voted... not that it matters.

Categories here we come. Hate may have been a strong word... and a default categories league, I assume will not look like a milk cat league.

Well, that is the next step... we got to discuss the potential categories... and whether it should be 5X5 or WHATEVER...

I changed it back to points; if you do as well, we may have a chance. Honestly, I cut my teeth in categories, but I prefer points.

Anything but Roto. Not interested.

It's tax time for him, so he's busy. However, let's Turbo Tax him!

Oh, @Yellow Fuzzies !!! :pound::pound::pound:
The turbo Tax did it. Just home and made some dinner. What is going on here with this Empire league?
I am in a weakened state. Good time to take advantage of me on the trade front.:nono:
