I'll take the season long grind of roto, and the accurate results that you end up with every day of the week."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Originally posted by willthethrill View PostOur 21-year old league is debating this as well-Always played roto, but we may switch to h2h this year. I agree-the proliferation of fantasy football has spurred us to go this direction, playing the h2h format in football. In our football league this year, many of whom are in the baseball league, we had the 8 seed beat the 6 seed for the championship, and people really liked that.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

I got talked into switching to H2H 6 or 7 years ago. After 3 years I'd had enough and convinced the league to return to Roto, and everyone is happy we switched back. Baseball is not a weekly game so it makes no sense to play weekly matchup, especially with the unequal number of starts in most matchups.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

This thread is pretty much a complete reading of mind mind on the topic from both points of view.
I definitely prefer Roto, but living where I live and wanting to locally compete I'm needing to adjust.
Strategy wise I could right a book on Roto, but I feel like a newbie in Head 2 Head.
Also I am married with 2 kids, and extremely active in my church so my time management is a serious issue.Comparing a Fantasy Baseball Draft to an Auction is like comparing Checkers to Chess!!!
