As is traditional of the Bowman series of fantasy sports leagues, we will be offering an alternative form of scoring for Standing Room Only baseball. The 14 teams in the have been divided up into two leagues based on geography--one in the East and another in the Midwest. The league breakdown is as follows:
Hoaggie-Grinder League
WickedGreen Monstahs (Boston-Allston, Mass) - Mike Carroll
Mike Made Me Do This (Boston-Brighton, Mass) - Jen Ryan
Pawtucket Red Sox (Providence, RI) - Patrick Tigue
Pink Roos (Providence, RI) - Kate Warren
Tiger Bandwagon (New York, NY) - Brad Belsky
Philly Cheesesteaks (Philadelphia, PA) - Charles Bowman
Deep Dish League
Hoot's Howitzers (Chicago, IL) - Matt Carroll
Dirty Diamond D's (Chicago, IL) - Jen
Knights of Darkness (Detroit, MI) - Nick Enlow
Gnorth Gnome Gninja (Chicago, IL) - Doug Bowman
Loons (Midland, MI) - Robert Bowman
Stingrays I (Rockford, IL) - Jason Backus
Margaritas (Rockford, IL) - Alix M. Backus
We Want a Touchdown! ("East" Lansing, MI and yet another Bowman) - Steve Bowman
Each week, I will take the straight win-loss records from each team and then re-rank the divisions the same way that real-life baseball standings are scored. At the end of the season the winners of each league will be crowned the unofficial league champion. This is merely for bragging rights people! Plus, I hope it will create some more competition amongst the teams. These titles will carry over into next year if we continue this league!
Just think about the possibilities... the 2007 Hoaggie-Grinder League Champion Philly Cheesesteaks (for example).
Power rankings will be up by the end of the weekend (inshallah as they say)!
Cheers,
El Commisho

Do we want to make sure each team plays a division opponent twice? For me that means we'd have to pick a second week to play against Pink Roos. You could choose weeks to compare two teams as a second game (and assign points manually). Or you could limit league scoring to one division game each. Etc. Whatever you choose, everyone has to play an equal number of division games.
I have to correct the geographical error the commissioner typed in this post: I live in East Lansing. It is a city distinct and separate from Lansing.
Hi Charles,
Actually when I took a quick look at everyone's schedules, it seems to work out on its own. Somehow when everyone signed up, their schedule assignments usually result in playing division rivals twice. This works in the East. There are a few problems in the West (as there are more teams), but there are so few it probably wouldn't make a difference.
I guess the real question we should decide is what to consider in the unlikely event a tie-breaker is needed. I propose:
1) Head-to Head match up record.
2) Points assigned based on YTD stats (i.e. make an artificial game based on the stats racked up for an entire year).
It would be easiest to just use the Yahoo rankings as the tie-breaker. They work fine, I think.
