IAMS Fantasy Baseball Tip Sheet

You don’t need to watch baseball to do well in this game. It is about math and statistics. Knowing popular baseball players does help - work as a team to maximize your results.

Your team will have 17 players randomly assigned to your fantasy team. Each team will have approximately the same talent, so it is up to you to manage your team. You must choose 11 out of the 17 players to be on your active roster. You must have both batters and pitchers.

Every day your team will score points based on how well the real players do in their games. You can follow your team’s scores here:

There are 10 categories that you can score points. They are listed below.

Batting: Batting Average (BA), Home Runs (HR), Runs (R), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB);

Pitching: Strikeouts (SO), Wins (W), Saves (SV), Earned Run Average (ERA), Walks Plus Hits Per Inning Pitched (WHIP)

Each week, you can improve your team by changing your roster. You can do this by either adding new players (free agents), or trading with another team.

Tips:

Choose a team with players who will do well in many categories.

It is difficult to have a team do well in all categories - you must plan to improve in areas your team is weak.

Keep an eye on the news if one of your key players is injured. Too many injured players means your team will not do well over the season.

You can only make 7 changes each week to your team.

MOST OF ALL HAVE FUN - WE WILL HAVE SOME WEEKLY CHALLENGES SO ALL TEAMS CAN PARTICIPATE - THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO UNDERSTAND THE MATH BEHIND EACH CATEGORY
