Poll: Do You Play in an OBP League?
For the first time this year, I am participating in a league that counts on base percentage instead of batting average. And it’s a big league — Tout Wars. Eno and I are both competing, so we will have first hand knowledge/experience with this format and how hitter values change. As a result, we will be able to include OBP analysis in our articles if enough of you readers play in such leagues.
So, please tell us whether you play in a league that includes OBP as a category instead of AVG.

My roto league uses both.
yeah, i have a league with both, and a league that does avg/ops, but no league where obp replaces avg
Leagues with both (or AVG/OPS) are incredibly dumb and should be banned from the face of the earth.
we were gonna invite you to join next year, but i guess i’ll take that as a no
My league uses OBP and (H+BB+HBP)/(AB+BB+HBP+SF)
Mine too
my league is 10×10 – with h,r,hr,rbi,bb,so,sb,avg,ops, and tb. – lest any of you thought my “no” was for a simple avg+4 league
what does this 10×10 league use for pitching? Thanks.
