Man, a HOF catcher is extremely powerful for bonus points - I've got three HOF pitchers but my catcher is a scrub.
My trading partner has a HOF catcher.....hmmmmmm.

PS- My HOFers are not available for trade :grin::grin:

I think we all don't want our HOFers available for trade but I think it'll be automatically generated to tell us which spot in our "lineup" will essentially swap (or trade) with the person we're lined up with.... I could be TOTALLY wrong but that adds a layer to the game because we will have three spots change... maybe I'm wrong lol but why would you be able to make any trades if that weren't the case, unless someone would sell out and allow someone else to trade up or something.

MansGame hit the nail on the head. Trades are mandatory and may or may not involve your HOFers.

As mentioned, the actual positions involved for each trade have already been generated.

MY 1B, 2B, and 3B can only get better. cjedmonton, i updated my score in last thread.

Hendersonfan · Jan 30, 2013

My trade partner is in the lead and has quite a few HOF's so looks like I'm moving on up!

Hendersonfan · Jan 30, 2013

Unless I get his CL2, CL3 and C, which would actually be worse than mine. Hoping for SP2 and 3B!

Chris - This is by far one of the most epic contests I have ever joined of yours! For the Bonus Scoring...is that something we need to track or will it be automatically entered in later?

I would like to know the same answer too

Hendersonfan · Jan 30, 2013

If we need to enter information, work is all done, just swap the scores. Otherwise Chris will swap it on his sheet

Bonus scoring will be automatically tallied, but you're encouraged to follow along!

Thanks for the kind words...I'm pretty happy with this template. Just a few minor tweaks for next time!

MansGame · Jan 31, 2013

The bonus round will be added before the trades take place right? So you can get bonus points for having the highest score for a position, etc. but before that position is traded away?

wigglytuff · Jan 31, 2013

Thanks for the game it's really a lot of fun, kind of like a statistical scavenger hunt!

I was wondering along the same lines, are the trades like fantasy trades, and we keep the scores we have and then trades are for the bonus point scoring; or do we lose the points we already have?

Fingers crossed we don't lose the good players and the points we've gotten from them, but either way will keep it interesting!

Thanks again, great game!

Sadly, no. The bonus round is tallied at the very end of the game and applies to your franchise at it stands at the end of the game.

When your trades go down...EVERYTHING associated with those players are swapped as well (points + HOF status).

Again, the positions involved for each trade are already determined and were 100% randomly generated before the game started. I'm only waiting to announce them until the end of the bench player round to build suspense!
