QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 06:08 PM) Thank you. So this is a game by game thing then. It depends on the number of participants, but right now it is as follows: Season divided into 2 sets First Half: April 6th-June 10th. (61 games) Second Half: June 12th - August 9th (55 games) - Top 12 members from each half clinch a spot in the playoffs - The two members with the most OVERALL points will receive a bye to the 2nd playoff round. - Playoff ties go to the member with the most overall points during the season. - It is important for those who make playoffs in the first half to increase overall points during the second half. Playoff Rounds Round 1: August 11th-August 23rd (11 games) (Top members from each half (22 members), not including the 2 byes) Round 2: August 25th-September 6th (12 games) (Top 14 members from round 1, +2 byes) Round 3: September 7th-September 23rd (16 games) (Top 10 members from round 2)

Here is the lineup, no one took Micah up to this point so no real change. However glangon took Gillespie so your pick was moved to the bench (you can change your pick anytime though) I did change the point total for Eaton as well. Let's keep the picks coming. GO SOX!!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) Sorry confused. Why 2 points for picking Abreu ? He was only worth 1. I made the section bold on the first page in case others were confused. Basically the points listed beside each player is the base point total and you get bonus points for each homerun. Each home run during the game gets you bonus points: First HR +1 point 2nd HR +2 points 3rd HR +5 points Grand Slam +4 points Walk-off HR +5 points Steak of 3 games in a row +1 Streak of 4 games in a row +2 And so on..... For example, if you pick Avi and he hit a HR you will get 4 points. If he hits 2 HRs you will get 9 points (4+5). This example was based on the numbers on that first post.

4/8/15 Sox @ Royals Lets keep up the participation, it only take a few seconds to make a pick. I am going to post the lineup now so everyone can start making their picks. I will update it tomorrow once the lineup is posted. If you choose a player that ends up not starting, before the actual lineup is posted, I will change your pick to BENCH. You can change your picks anytime before the first pitch. Adam Eaton 8: Melky Cabrera 3: Jose Abreu 1: Adam LaRoche 2: Aviasil Garcia 4: Alexei Ramirez 4: Condor13, Connor Gillespie 6: Tyler Flowers 5: Micah Johnson 8: Bench 8:

Well the first day of the 2015 HR contest went well. There were 21 participants and 3 pulled ahead on the first day of action with their selection of Jose Abreu. I have attached the leaderboard to this post. Remember you can play at anytime, you don't have to pick everyday and you can start picking at any point during the season. Lets keep the picks coming. GO SOX!!!!

This is a simple contest that runs throughout the season. The goal of the game is to pick one player on the Sox that you think will hit a home run during each game. You do not need to make a pick each game and you can join in whenever you want. The season will be divided into two halves (depending on the number of participants) and the top 12 members from each half (depending on the number of participants) will enter a three round playoffs. Each player will have a point total assigned to them. Eaton 8 Cabrera 3 Abreu 1 LaRoche 1 Avi 3 Ramirez 3 Gillespie 5 Flowers 5 Johnson 8 Bench 10 (Just an example) Each home run during the game gets you bonus points: First HR +1 point 2nd HR +2 points 3rd HR +5 points Grand Slam +4 points Walk-off HR +5 points Steak of 3 games in a row +1 Streak of 4 games in a row +2 And so on..... For example, if you pick Avi and he hit a HR you will get 4 points. If he hits 2 HRs you will get 9 points (4+5). CONTEST RULES *Pick a player on the Sox's starting lineup that you think will hit a home run at ANY TIME during each game. *You can only pick the same player 3 times during each week (Monday-Sunday) *If you pick a correct player you will earn the corresponding points. *You can only pick one player and you must have your pick in before the the first pitch (I will post the time along with the lineup) *If you are going away, you can PM your picks for the upcoming games (*Max 5 games) *Streaks will win you bonus points (bonus points above). Streaks must be in consecutive games, if you miss a game your streak is over *Player points will be doubled on Saturdays. *The season will be divided into two sets at June 3rd, 2015, and playoff information is posted below.

Micah Johnson, if he plays

Eaton

Jose Abreu

Make that 6 runs after 3 straight doubles

Micah with a stellar diving stop on a ball up the middle. That range of his is insane. Too bad he couldn't make the throw.

I just sent the invites, if you did not receive one or want an invite please let me know.

so i think we are gonna have to do this through yahoo. I set the draft up for tomorrow night and will be sending the invites here in a few min.

I sent everyone an email about switching websites from espn to yahoo. Let me know tonight what you all think.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Mar 30, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) If we do 8 teams, let's do deep rosters and/or deep benches so waivers aren't too easy. I don't think espn will let me do 8 teams, I know yahoo will. I am still working on getting another 2 members. I will give an update tomorrow night

3 Ks already and they looked to come EASY to him

We have 8 members (7 have joined). We need 2 more people to join, possibly 3 if the 8th person does not join soon. The start of the season is just around the corner (less than 2 weeks away) and we need to complete the league and start the draft soon. Anyone can join, it does not have to be a member of the Soxtalk community.

Once the last person invited has joined, we will have 8 members. We still need 2 more, anyone can join the league. If you have already joined and know someone else who would like too, just message me.
