When are we going to see other league types in baseball, basketball, and hockey? It would be nice to have head-to-head and rotisserie style scoring as well as point scoring.

Thanks.

Are we getting any closer to rotisserie?

Thanks

What is a rotisserie pts scoring system, and how would it work in football?

For baseball:

The original Rotisserie League used the following statistics:

team batting average (total hits divided by total at-bats)

total home runs

total runs batted in

total stolen bases

total wins

total saves

team earned run average (9 times total earned runs divided by total innings pitched, the lower the better)

team WHIP (total number of hits and walks allowed by pitchers divided by total innings pitched, the lower the better)

This is often called a "4x4" league (4 hitting stats and 4 pitching stats). Many leagues adopt a "5x5" format, with runs scored and strikeouts added as hitting and pitching stats, respectively. Still other leagues are "6x6", most commonly adding OPS (OBP plus SLG), and holds. Occasionally, a league will adopt a format that keeps track of more statistics (such as a '7x7"), vary the stats tracked to favor hitting or pitching, or include fielding statistics such as fielding percentage. Other modifications to the rules include a minimum number of at-bats and innings pitched for categories that are averaged; teams that do not make the minimum were awarded last place in the respective categories.

Typical set-ups for head-to-head leagues are:

Head-to-Head Rotisserie: Wins, losses and ties are based on the team's performance in individual categories.

Head-to-Head One Win: Just like H2H Rotisserie, but the winner receives just one win, rather than one win for each category the team wins.

Head-to-Head Points: Stats accumulate points for each team (a Home Run/Stolen Base/etc. is worth a certain number of points), and the team with the most points at the end of the week is awarded a win. These leagues often take advantage of several other statistical categories, from outfield assists to quality starts.

Opponents are dictated by a round-robin system. At the end of the season, the team with the best win-loss record is the victor.

Many head-to-head leagues also feature playoffs over the last 3–4 weeks of the MLB regular season. A set number of teams make the "postseason" and play a single-elimination tournament to decide a victor.
