How do you keep score?
Rotisserie style, ranking teams by category using their YTD stats
Rotisserie style, but teams are ranked each week, and the weekly points in each category accumulate
Total points scored (such as 1 per RBI, 4 per HR, etc -- you select the point values)
Head to head, compare category scores to opponent's, each category counts as a win or loss, every period
Head to head, compare category score to opponent's, one win or loss per period
Head to head, rank all teams in each category rotisserie style each week, win or loss based on total rotisserie-style points
Head to head, most points scored for the period gets one win
Rotisserie style, but teams are ranked each week and the overall weekly rankings accumulate (i.e., last place team for the week gets 1 point, first place gets N = number of teams, etc).
Rotisserie style and one head-to-head game, winner based on number of categories bettering your opponent
Rotisserie style, with weekly points total accumulating (as above) and one head-to-head game, winner based on number of categories bettering your opponent
Completely unique custom scoring system, not covered by any option above or below, which you've discussed in detail with the OnRoto staff (possibly paying extra to have it set up). You specify which system in the "Misc" set-up section. Only eighteen (18) leagues require this option as of 2/14/24.

For non-head-to-head leagues, would you like the "Standings for the Past Week Only" printed in addition to the regular standings?  
Also for non-head-to-head leagues, would you like the standings over some period that's not your regular scoring cycle (like the current month, or the current half season) printed in addition to the regular standings? (Answer "yes" here if you have a split season, with all stats reverting to zero half-way through.) 
Do you use divisions? 
What is the first day for which you want stats to count (regardless of when you hold your draft) for your season?  
Some leagues stop scoring prior to the end of the regular season. If your league does, this, what is the last day for which you'd like stats to count? 
What is the effective date of the first transaction period after the start of your season? This question is only important if you want to freeze rosters after Opening Day through the first full week afterwards. If you have daily transactions, you'll be able to make moves any day regardless of what you select, so chose "Monday, 3/30" to set up a Monday-Sunday scoring cycle. If you have weekly transactions and you want a ten-day roster freeze after Opening Day, select "Monday, April 6" (or "Tuesday, April 7", if you're a Tuesday-Monday league, etc). If you want to allow transactions during the first full week, then select "Monday, March 30" (or "Tuesday, March 31", etc). 
If you have weekly transactions that fall during the week of the All-Star Game (Mon - Thu are off days, how would you like to deal with your transaction deadline (be careful about the Thursday vs. Friday options depending on whether you're an AL/NL or Mixed League): 
When are you holding your draft or auction?
 
VERY IMPORTANT question about "waivers": Sometimes there is some confusion about the meaning of "waivers" for leagues new to our site, especially if they have used one of the larger, Media-based sites in the past (like Yahoo). At OnRoto, players not on the roster of any team in a league are generally considered to be what we call "free agents." Leagues may, however, treat certain types of untaken players differently -- as being "on waivers" instead of being "free agents." In most cases, "waivers" refers to only those players who were recently dropped by a team in the league, though sometimes "waivers" refers to players recently called up or traded in from the other MLB league. Note that in leagues which use "waivers," the rules governing how teams pick up players on waivers are different from the rules governing how free agents are picked up -- there's no point in making a distinction otherwise. Everyone at OnRoto uses "free agents", but only leagues which wish to distinguish between free agents and recently cut or added players use "waivers". Do you use waivers? If this question is at all confusing or refers to any concept you are not familiar with, you almost certainly do not use waivers. 
The Ohtani question: How does your league plan to treat potential two-way player Shohei Ohtani this year?
