Brian,
I just signed up.
I'm wondering though about some of the settings. Why so much weight for IBB? It should be no more than regular BB. Also, I'm not sure, but does Yahoo count an intentional walk as both IBB and BB or just IBB?
Same question about CG and SHO. Is a shutout counted 2x there? Also, a shutout would then count as SHO, CG and W *plus* however many IPs and Outs, no? Seems like your pitching points are way skewed and probably make good starting pitchers way more important than good hitters.
BTW, when I tried working on a good points system last year, I find that the most difficult thing is to balance the everyday positional players against pitchers, especially since pitchers have specializations. I basically ended up reinvented the wheel (more or less) for the pitching side w/ some tweaks to account for the more popular stats like Wins, Losses, CG's, Saves, etc. and still maintaining good balance. Only problem was I did it a bit late and couldn't get enough people to join.
Of course, if we're just out for some fun and nothing that serious, then it could be fun to figure out what one can exploit against conventional wisdom.
