Official BCB Fantasy Baseball Sign-up/Primer

I'll make this preliminary post short and sweet.

JOINING THE LEAGUE

Anyone and everyone is welcome to join the Official BCB Fantasy Association. To enter, please send an email to me at ncjarosh@gmail.com. If you wanted to put something like BCB Fantasy Baseball in the subject line, that would be lovely. I also want three paragraphs stating your interest and why you think you would be a good fit to join BCB fantasy baseball. Or whatever you want to say in however many words you want. Even if that amount of words is 0. I don't care. Just send me an email. ncjarosh@gmail.com. I'll then reply to confirm I got it. Cool? Cool.

Oh, and INCLUDE YOUR SBNATION USER NAME in the email.

LEAGUE RULES

Ok, here's what I'm thinking this year. I feel like standard 5x5 roto is boring and ends up losing people over the course of the year. I like H2H better. In particular, I like H2H Each Category. I did a league like that last year, and it definitely held my interest a lot better. So I think that's a good choice to go with. Standard 5x5 categories. I'm willing to add another category(s) to both pitching and hitting if there are good choices.

Positions will be fairly standard. C-1B-2B-3B-SS-CI-MI-OF-OF-OF-UTIL-UTIL-BENCH-BENCH-BENCH-BENCH-BENCH, 4x SP, 3x RP, 2x P.

Relegation League Thing

We'll sort that out when we know who is participating. I need to know who is returning, etc. To decide who moves up and down between the leagues, whether we need a rookie league, etc.
