- Picks
- All weekly picks must be submitted before first pitch on the Monday of the week in question
- If your pick is not in by first pitch, you can still make a pick for the given week, but you will only receive points for games with first pitch after the time of your submission
- If there is not a game on Monday, picks will be allowed up to first pitch Tuesday, or the next closest game in that week
- Picks are made on a weekly basis and can be placed in advance if so desired
- Players (batters and pitchers) are locked out for an individual for three weeks after they are picked.
- Example: If you take Mauer in week 1, you will not be able to pick him again until week 4.
- Players may be chosen as many times as desired throughout the season, so long as the three week rule is followed.
- You may change your picks up to first pitch of the first game after your picks are submitted in that week

- Delays & Cancellations
- If a game is suspended due to rain and made up later that day or the next day, points will be scored as normal
- If a game is postponed before first pitch and played at a later date, points will be scored for the week in which the game occurs
- If a game starts and is canceled before becoming a legal game, no points will be scored for the canceled game. All points will be scored when the game is made up.
- 75% of the scheduled games in a season must be played in order for winners to be declared. If anything less than 75% games are played all payments will be credited toward the next season or refunded upon request.
- For a standard 162 game season, 122 games must be completed.
- For the 60 game 2020 season, 45 games must be completed.
