File Last Updated: 6/19/95 The goal of this file is to give new (and old) owners a better idea of how to fill out the forms we use in the Original Bitnet Fantasy Baseball League. The forms which are covered in this file are: I. Lineup Cards II. Statcards Hopefully this will clear up any questions you have about these cards. The reason we are using specific formats for the lineup cards and statcards is to allow a computer program to sort and store the league's data and statistics. The program is only used in cumulative statistics, so it is critical that startcards are filled out properly, based on the form here. Note that specific "transaction card" forms which were previously included in this file are now obsolete. I. Lineup Cards The standard format of the lineup card is shown below: TEAMNAME: Your Teamname TYPE:LINEUP, Week n, vs. Opponent teamname Player: Team Player: Team +-------------------------+-----+ +-------------------------+-----+ C[ / ]BK[ / ] 1B[ / ]BK[ / ] 2B[ / ]BK[ / ] 3B[ / ]BK[ / ] SS[ / ]BK[ / ] DH[ / ]BK[ / ] OF[ / ] +-------------------------+-----+ OF[ / ] BK = Backup for position OF[ / ] OF[ / ] +-------------------------+-----+ OF[ / ] SP[ / ]RP[ / ] SP[ / ]RP[ / ] SP[ / ]RP[ / ] SP[ / ]RP[ / ] SP[ / ]RP[ ] SP[ / ] +-------------------------+-----+ SP[ / ] +-------------------------+-----+ The five position players and the DH are shown first, with their backup(s) to the right. Multiple backups may be listed for a position. Next come the outfielders, listed in order of playing preference. The pitchers are next, starting pitchers listed on the left and relief pitchers listed on the right. II. Statcards The following is a blank copy of a OBFLB statcard. It must be filled out using WEEKLY stats and in accordance with the rules of the league. There is no need to include unused backups. Please read the guidelines for completeing statcards, also available on the WWW server. Statcards are due to the "Stat Lady", now Dave Foard, by midnight on Friday. ------------- CUT HERE ------------------------------------------------ TEAMNAME: Your Teamname, Week n, vs. Opponent Teamname OFFENSE: :Player Name :Team : AB: R : H :HR:RBI:SB:AVG : RP : +----------------+--------+---+---+---+--+---+--+----+----+ C: : : : : : : : :. :. : 1B: : : : : : : : :. :. : 2B: : : : : : : : :. :. : 3B: : : : : : : : :. :. : SS: : : : : : : : :. :. : DH: : : : : : : : :. :. : OF: : : : : : : : :. :. : OF: : : : : : : : :. :. : OF: : : : : : : : :. :. : +----------------+--------+---+---+---+--+---+--+----+----+ Totals: : : : : : :. :. : +---+---+---+--+---+--+----+----+ PITCHING: :Pitcher's Name :Team :GS: W:SV: IP : H : ER: BB:ERA : CR : +----------------+--------+--+--+--+-----+---+---+---+----+----+ SP: : : : : : . : : : : . : . : SP: : : : : : . : : : : . : . : SP: : : : : : . : : : : . : . : SP: : : : : : . : : : : . : . : SP: : : : : : . : : : : . : . : RP: : : : : : . : : : : . : . : RP: : : : : : . : : : : . : . : RP: : : : : : . : : : : . : . : +----------------+--------+--+--+--+-----+---+---+---+----+----+ TOTALS: : : : . : : : : . : . : +--+--+--+-----+---+---+---+----+----+ AVG RP HR SB ERA CR W S TTL -------------------------------------------------------------- |Team1: . : . : : : . : . : : : | ------:------:------:----:----:-------:------:----:----:------ |Team2: . : . : : : . : . : : : | -------------------------------------------------------------- * Place an asterisk by the winning statistic
