Rotohog Fantasy Baseball: A
new twist on fantasy baseball By:
Michael Larson
There is a
new game in town this baseball season and I for one will not only be playing,
but invite all of you to join our league for the chance to win $100,000.00 and
best of all it is completely free to enter, and a lot of fun, totally unlike
anything you have seen before.
RotoHog allows managers to compete with their groups of friends (in our case
we will have a league called SportzNutz so when you sign up, be sure to
join our league.) while simultaneously competing with the entire
world for huge cash prizes.
The SportzNutz league is going to carry top 10 prizes that will all win
t-shirts, and lots of other goodies like limited sports cards etc for the
winners. So be sure and join our league as well to be eligible for the
additional prizes.
Even better than that, You can join many
leagues but you only have to manage
one team across all leagues! So you can have groups of friends join into smaller
leagues and have mini competitions amongst yourselves as well as competing in
the big RotoHog league as well as leagues like ours with other prizes as well.
----Story Continues Below----
Weekly prizes may also be awarded for
the best in your city, your campus, and
even your zip code. Unlike traditional
fantasy sports, performance can be
accurately compared across millions of
managers to determine the best
in the world or even the
best of
your 50 friends or
best of
your 1000 coworkers.
RotoHog uses an exciting Trading Floor (like a stock market)
to objectively value athletes based on supply and demand. Athlete
prices are updated every 10 seconds!
Want to recruit Albert Pujols during the season? No longer must you beg another
person in your private league for a trade who happened to originally get Pujols
by luck of the original draft order. Instead, you can buy Pujols on the open
market. Sure, he'll be expensive and so you must consider your budget. But
Rotohog puts you in control. It's more fun than traditional fantasy sports and
fairer.
The object is to accumulate the most Fantasy Points possible
by having athletes on your team perform well statistically. Unlike traditional
"salary cap" games, however, RotoHog maintains the fun of traditional fantasy
sports by restricting the supply of athletes: for each 12 managers, there is one
athlete. As a result, the price of each athlete is based on objective forces of
supply and demand rather than being guesses made by the website operator.
This is going to be a lot of fun and I invite you to join us and be sure to
join the SportzNutz league.
The RotoHog Draft is revolutionary and fast. Unlike
traditional fantasy, there is no random draft order where luck largely
determines the success of each manager. Instead, each round is an open-market
free-for-all where all managers in the
draft select at the same time. Use our Preranking tool before the draft to help
you plan ahead. After the Draft, you will be given 25 additional RotoHog dollars
to purchase athletes on the Trading Floor.
