John Benson's draft software is designed to help you study,
prepare for,and execute, a successful draft or auction in a Rotisserie
or similar pick-your-players league, including leagues with auction, draft, Rotisserie scoring, points scoring, and head-to-head scoring. (Try the free demo to see what you can do!) The software has two basic program features:
- the EDIT module including the database editor and valuation
program, and
- the DRAFT management program.
The Draft Software can be customized to suit almost any league.
For example:
- Accommodates from 5 to 36 Fantasy/Rotisserie rosters of any
size (any number of hitters and any number of pitchers).
- Supports an unlimited number of players on Reserve and Ultra
rosters.
- Reserve Players count toward the team salary cap, but their
stats do not affect the standings.
- Ultra Players do not count toward the salary cap, nor do
they affect the standings.
- Baseball players may be selected from any defined available
pool: e.g. AL, NL, all 30 teams, AL East, NL Central, or any set of teams. Each of the 30 major league teams may be included or excluded,
as can Disabled List players, free agents, and/or minor league
players not on a major league roster.
- Values and standings can accommodate any combination of hitting
and pitching stat categories. >
- The 2013 version allows you to choose from 16 hitting categories
(AB, Avg, SLG, OBA, OPS, Hits, Singles, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI,
Runs, SB, CS, BB, and K) and 13 pitching categories (Games, IP,
Wins, Losses, Saves, Holds, Hits, Earned Runs, BB, K, ERA, Ratio, and
home runs allowed). Also stat categories can be created combining these categories, e.g. strikeouts per inning and net steals (SB-CS) can be scoring categories in your league using this software, and player values and rankings will reflect these categories.
- The user may combine the basic stat categories to create
YOUR OWN custom categories, up to 4 custom hitting stats plus
up to 4 custom pitching stats. Just add, subtract, multiply and
divide the 29 given categories to create just about any stats
you like.
- Hitting/Pitching categories can be unbalanced (e.g. with
5 hitting and 4 pitching categories).
- The 2013 version allows for weighted stat categories. For
example SBs can be weighted to be half the value of the other
categories, or home runs can be double weighted to calculate "market" values for your unique league.
- The software package contains 2013 Forecast Stats (29 categories) by John Benson, plus 2012 full
season, 2012 second half, 2011 full year, 2010 full year, and Three-Year average Stats for 2010-2012. Also contains
2010 and 2011 full season stats, plus 2012 second half isolated.
- Player values can be generated using any stats from any of
the seasons including 2013 forecasts and three-year average
in the database. Second half stats and values from the most recent year are always a popular feature.
- The 2013 version allows you to view a graph of EVERY PLAYER
and see the Three-Year, 2012 full season and second half and
2013 forecast stats in an easy-to-view bar graph, either as absolute
measures or on a per-at-bat basis for hitters or per-inning for
pitchers.
- Dollar Values Support Draft or Auction mode. - In Draft mode,
dollar values are for ranking players and seeing how much better each player is than the next available player.
