If you’ve ever wanted to manage your own baseball team or coach your own football team then fantasy sports are a perfect fit for you!
How to manage a Fantasy Sports team
Fantasy sports are like managing the All-Star team for any given sport every day of the season. There’s no other place that you could have a Triple Crown winner, a Gold Glove Award winner and a Cy Young pitcher all on the same team! If you think managing a sports team filled with All-Stars will be easy, think again. Fantasy sports take time and strategy to figure out whom to draft, whom to start and possible trades that could be beneficial to both teams.

Fantasy Sports Scoring
When it comes to scoring your fantasy sports team against an opponent there are a couple of different ways your league can decide to compete. ESPN gives a great overview of Head-to-Head leagues vs. Rotisserie leagues in an article titled Fantasy World: The Debate Begins. In a head-to-head league you are playing against another team for a specified time period, which is usually one week long. During the week your team will gather statistics determined by the league manager at the beginning of the season. If your team leads in a given category at the end of your matchup week, your team receives a point for that category. At the end of the matchup week the points are totaled for the head-to-head matchup and your wins and losses are tracked in the overall league standings.

Rotisserie leagues are sometimes referred to as Roto leagues. In a Roto league your team gathers statistics for categories that are decided by the league manager at the beginning of the season. However, instead of competing against one other team in the league your statistics are compared to every team in the league. The scoring is different because your team receives points based on how it ranks against other teams in the league throughout the entire season. For example, if your team were leading a league with ten teams in it for RBI’s, then you would receive 10 points towards your team score for leading that category. If your team were second in stolen bases, you would receive 9 points and so on.
