LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!!!

[Dylan]

http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t538/BlueJays20131/Title_zpsecbb6372.jpg

Today’s Matchup - June 27th (7:07pm EST)

Blue Jays @ Red Sox 1 of 4

Opponent Pitcher: LHP Lester (7-4, 4.57)

How to play:

Pick a player on the Jay's starting lineup that you think will hit the first bomb during today's game. If you pick the correct player you will earn the corresponding points. Players more unlikely to hit a home run will earn you more points than those likely to knock one out. Below is a list of the points each player is worth today. Points will change daily depending on whether the player is on a hot or cold streak, and bonus points will be available on random days. You can only pick one player, and you can't change once you picked. You must have your pick in before the first pitch of the game. Daily lineups will be posted roughly a hour before the game. I will post updated standings and the top 18 members will make the playoffs beginning August 26th. (playoff info to be posted later)

New changes to the FHRC

 

+1 bonus if the first home run is a 2 run shot, +2 if it is a 3 run shot.. Only the first home run counts. (still 4 points for grandslams at any time during the game) When all home runs count during the game like today, these bonus points stand for all home runs.

 

Playoffs have changed, instead of head to head bracket, were going with elimation style.

 

New Playoffs format

Week 1

2nd -16^th place players

 

Week 2

Top 10 Players from week 1

 

Week 3

Top 6 Players from week 2

Week 4

Top 2 Players from week 3, 1^st-2^nd season place Byes

Week 5

Top 2 Players from week 4

*Ties go to the player with the most points during the regular season, point totals start at 0 each round

Also each jay player will have a different point value.. to keep points up.
