Fantasy Points Scoring Calculator: Roto vs. Points League Value Comparison
Compare a player's value in a Rotisserie (Roto) league versus a Points-based fantasy league. Enter batting statistics and scoring settings to see which format rewards the player more.
Player Statistics
Roto League Settings (Category Weights)
Enter the relative weight (importance) for each Roto category (1–10 scale). These simulate how your league values each category.
Points League Scoring Settings
Enter points awarded per occurrence for each stat.
Formulas Used
Roto Value Score:
- Normalized Category Score = min(PlayerStat / BenchmarkEliteStat, 1.5)
- Roto Raw Score = Σ (NormalizedScore × CategoryWeight) for AVG, HR, RBI, R, SB
- Roto Score (0–100) = (Roto Raw Score / Maximum Possible Raw Score) × 100
- Benchmark elite values: AVG=0.320, HR=45, RBI=130, R=120, SB=40
Points League Score:
- Total Points = (1B × ptH) + (2B × (ptH+pt2B)) + (3B × (ptH+pt3B)) + (HR × (ptH+ptHR)) + (RBI × ptRBI) + (R × ptR) + (SB × ptSB) + (BB × ptBB)
- Extra-base hits earn the base hit point PLUS the extra-base bonus
- Points Score (0–100) = (PlayerPoints / BenchmarkElitePoints) × 100
- Points per Game ≈ Total Points / (AB ÷ 3.4)
Value Comparison: Difference = Points Score − Roto Score. Positive = Points league favors player; Negative = Roto league favors player.
Assumptions & References
- Benchmark "elite" season stats represent approximate MLB top-tier single-season performance thresholds used for normalization.
- Roto scoring assumes standard 5×5 categories: AVG, HR, RBI, R, SB. Weights (1–10) simulate your league's relative category importance.
- Points league scoring follows the common convention that extra-base hits earn the single (H) point plus an additional bonus (e.g., a double = ptH + pt2B).
- Games played is estimated as AB ÷ 3.4 (MLB average at-bats per game for a full-time player).
- Normalized scores are capped at 150% of benchmark to handle historically exceptional seasons.
- Reference: Rotisserie League Baseball scoring system (Okrent, 1980); standard fantasy points league conventions (ESPN, Yahoo, CBS Sports).
