In a Fantasy Point League (available only to Custom Leagues), points are awarded based on how well your players perform in each of several statistical categories. All real-life statistics have associated point values, and each player's points are summed to produce your daily total. \nSo, if in your league, a home run is worth four points, a stolen base two and a RBI one, a player with two homers, three steals and 10 RBI would score 24 fantasy points [(2 HR * 4 points) + (3 SB * 2 points) + (10 RBI * 1 point) = 24]. \n\nFantasy points, which are only awarded to starting (active) players on your team, are tallied throughout the season. Each team with the highest total at the end of the year wins its league championship. \n\nFantasy point scoring is only available in Custom Leagues, and the commissioner must specify both the categories used and the point modifier values. If the commissioner does not specify a point modifier for a given category, no fantasy points will accrue in that category.\n\n\nIn a league using Rotisserie scoring, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Each fantasy team receives points in each category based on how they rank in the league. Each team's category points are totaled to determined their overall rotisserie score. \nThe maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category. \n\nIf you are in a 12-team league, the team with the most home runs will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in homers, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5]. \n\nSo, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144].

It is an interactive sports game that can involve up to 12 players. Before the beginning of the season, you either have a live draft or an automatic draft to pick your teams. Each real live MLB player can only be taken by one Fantasy "Manager". You score points by the achievements of the real MLB players that are on your FANTASY team. You have the ability to trade and sign free agents. There are many different types of Fantasy Baseball. The most popular is the Head to Head type. That is where you play against one other "manager" in your league for an entire week. Getting points based on the stats that are selected for your league ( Hits, Runs, HR, ect ) If you want to learn more, please click on this link to read all the Yahoo Fantasy rules....\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/baseball/brules/index.html

In a Rotisserie League, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Points are then awarded according to the order of finish in each category, and are totalled to determine an overall score and place. \nSo, if you are in a 12-team league, the team with the most home runs will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in homers, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5]. \n\nTherefore, the maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category. \n\nSo, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144]. \n\nRankings within the individual scoring categories (HR, RBI, etc.) are based on the cumulative stats earned by all active players during the season and not on any individual day or game. \n\nTherefore, the overall ranking of your team will rise and fall depending on how it performs relative to the performance of other league members. So, the phenomenon of "losing points" can be explained as your rank falling in one or more of the statistical categories used in your league.

ESPN.com MLB section has information on every player, past and present.  But as far as their personal websites you'd probably have to look them up individually.  I've found some that were inaccurate that way too.

http://www.baseball-almanac.com/scoring2.shtml\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/scoring3.shtml\n\nthis is the best site to learn from, as i did\n\nThe Scorecard \nThe form appears complex but once examined makes perfect sense.\n\nInnings run across the top. Spaces for the player name along the side. There are extra spaces for pinch hitters and extra spaces for an extra inning game. Each grid, where the inning and player name meet, has a small diamond that represents the actual playing field. Spaces on the right side of the sheet are used for tracking the players final statistics at the end of the game.\n\nYou begin by filling in the players name using the team line-up. Use a second page to place the visiting team's line-up on a card. When each player comes to bat in an inning you fill in the small diamond with the appropriate code and actions taken.\n \n\n\nKnowing The Player Numbers \nThere may be many different methods of scoring and many different types of scorecards but there is only one player numbering system. You have probably heard the play-by-play announcer on television or radio call a play "6 to 4 to 3" then mention what a great infield and double play combination your favorite team has. He is using the following chart to describe the play and you should memorize this chart and be able to recall it as easy as you can recall your favorite players vitals.\n\n\n \n\n\nBasic Abbreviations \nAbbreviation  Definitions \n1B Single \n2B Double \n3B Triple \nBB Base on Balls \nBK Balk \nCS  Caught Stealing \nDP Double Play \nDH Designated Hitter \nE Error \nFC  Fielder's Choice \nFO Force-Out \nHBP Hit By Pitch \nHR Home Run \nI  Interference \nIW Intentional Walk \nK Strikeout \nPB Passed Ball \nSB Stolen Base \nSF Sacrifice Fly \nSH Sacrifice Hit \nWP Wild Pitch

Only the starters.  Depending on league and where you play your fantasy determines what counts for points.  Yahoo, for example, doesn't count yards on defenses.

I'm having the exact same problem. I click on the Stat Tracker logo, the window opens, but it shows all the players who should be playing as on the bench for the whole game.  I've tried multiple browsers, I've made sure Java was updated, nothing works. It's not your system, it's Yahoo's fault, but their customer service is worthless, there's nothing we can do. For anyone who hasn't bought it yet, please don't buy it.

Roto leagues are the ones that started this all. They run season long - instead of being reset each week.\n\nOkay - so we have cumulative stats from the start of the season.\n\nThen, for each stat (ie, HRs, RBIs, Wins, Saves...) the teams in the league are sorted by how they did in that stat. Then they are given points based on that order.\n\nSay you have 10 teams. The team with the most HRs gets 10 points. The team with the least, gets 1 point. Then the team with the most RBIs (might be a different team than the team with the most HRs) gets 10 points and the team with the least gets 1 point.\n\nDo that for all the stats in the league. And then sum up the points for each stat, and that is your roto score.\n\nSo, some days, you could knock in 10 HRs but your score won't change (if it doesn't give you more cumulative HRs than the team ahead of you) or you could knock in 2 and pass  3 teams ahead of you and score big points.\n\nIt is all based on relative performance, across the league. So you kind of need to pay more attention to every team, instead of the one team you're playing against that week. \n\nIt is a unique experience - maybe try a mid-season leagu to get your feet we.
