Interesting rules - you have any

#1 Post by viper »

Many league have odd rules or weird categories. I'm curious about yours.

My most interesting is in a NL only league. The league has no bench so the only way you can "hold" a player is if they are officially on the DL. That isn't my odd rule. Moves can be daily and the process is that the lowest team in the standings get any and all of their requests first. If Storen, Strasburg and Possy all come up the same day, the last place team can get all three. Needless to say, the league leader pretty much never gets a top-level call-up. This is actually pretty much how the real baseball waiver wire works but it is not how fantasy teams typically handle things. There is no FAAB in this league.
