how are the  number of games and the opponents decided in baseball ?
440792
All teams play 162 games in a season. Also there are divisions in baseball with 4-6 teams in them, and teams play divisional opponents more often. Also, there is the national and american leauges and there are only a couple interleague games each season. If you want to see the schedules, division ranking exceterta check out ESPN, they also have career stats for all teh players.

You could use a bunch of different measuring sticks.  Last year's NL East had the top four teams finish within 7 games of each other, while the West had the last place team only 15 games behind the division winner, the same as the 1996 NL Central.  The 1995 NL West (only 4 teams) had an 11 game gap between first and last, but that season was strike-shortened, as was 1994 when the 4 teams in the AL West were within 5 1/2 games of each other.  The 2004 AL West had the top three teams within 3 games of each other.\n\nIf we're only going to go back to the 3-division format in each league, those have been the closest races.

Basically a stat that depicts the teams win/loss record.  A team at the .500 mark has an equal amount of wins and losses.

The above answer is describes our standard head-to-head game. But there are two other variations as well. To describe the difference, let me explain how the standard game is scored.\n\nFor a 10 stat league, say you win 6 and lose 3 of the stat categories and tie in 1 of them. Your record for that week is then 6-3-1.  Records are built up over the season each week. And then you're ranked by win percentage.\n\nFor Plus leagues, we have two more scoring types - we have a "head to head" One Win league as well. Where instead of getting a 6-3-1 record, you'd just be 1-0-0 that week, because you won more stats than your opponent.\n\nFinally, we have a points based head-to-head league. Where instead of raw stats, you get points for each stat. Maybe 10 points for a home run, 3 points per RBI. Then your points are totaled up for the week and whoever has more points, wins the week (1-0).\n\nSo those are the 3 scoring types we have for head-to-head leagues.

Most times, the rosters are only announced right at the start of the game.   You can often see the Managers hand their roster to the umpires before the game starts.

Strike Rate is like percentage.\nStrike Rate = Runs scored divided by balls played multiplied by 100.\n\nFollowing example will make it clear.\n\nAfridi scores 50 of 25 balls. ........................ 50 (25)\nStrike Rate = 50/25 * 100 = 200\n\nThis Strike Rate is for one inning.\n\nThe overall strike rate of a player is calculated by taking into account all the runs he scored and the balls he played in all his matches.

That scenario would count.  According to the rules (4.10):\n\n(c) If a game is called, it is a regulation game:\n\n(1) If five innings have been completed;\n\n(2) If the home team has scored more runs in four or four and a fraction half innings than the visiting team has scored in five completed half innings;\n\n(3) If the home team scores one or more runs in its half of the fifth inning to tie the score.

There are tie breakers in place.  The first is record, the second is divisional, the third is who won the head to head match-up the forth is record against common opponents and the fifth is points scored and the sixth is points scored against common opponents.\n\nNot positive but I think that's how it goes.

You can't have a *balanced* 15 game schedule with 7 teams - to keep it balanced you need to have games played be a multiple of 6. 6, 12, 18, ...  My experience - just go with the 15 game schedule - use it to create a seeding for a playoff format ... that way there's less sensitivity about potential *unfairness* of having to play a particular team more than some other team might have to play that same team.

Each position on the field has a number .... when you here that string of numbers it tells you who touched the ball ... such as the short stop fielded the hit and threw it to the second baseman for an out who then threw it to the first baseman for an out.

The time shows what time the game is scheduled to be played (when the game has not yet started).\n\nIf the game has finished, then the score is shown - the numbers in parentheses after the final score is the score after the first half.

Baseball is a strange sport.\n\nIt could last a while, or they could start a losing streak.\n\nI think they go another 3 games.

If you mean how many handle a standard game, there are four. One at first base, one at second base, one at third and one calling the balls and strikes behind home plate. \n\nIf you want to know the total number of umpires working at any one time, that would be 60 per night as there are 30 MLB teams or a maximum of 15 games going on in a day.

In all sports could exist a tie, it depends of the system of play choosen for the tournament:\n# If it is the league system, then you could have matches ending in ties.\n# If it is the knock-out system, then you would always have a winner and a loser.\n\nFor the Fifa World cup, they use both system:\n# First round is played by the league system\n# The round of sixteen, quarterfinals, semifinals, play-off for third place and final will all be played in accordance with the knock-out system\n\nFYI: there is no ties in baseball because they play under the knock-out system.

Roto leagues are the ones that started this all. They run season long - instead of being reset each week.\n\nOkay - so we have cumulative stats from the start of the season.\n\nThen, for each stat (ie, HRs, RBIs, Wins, Saves...) the teams in the league are sorted by how they did in that stat. Then they are given points based on that order.\n\nSay you have 10 teams. The team with the most HRs gets 10 points. The team with the least, gets 1 point. Then the team with the most RBIs (might be a different team than the team with the most HRs) gets 10 points and the team with the least gets 1 point.\n\nDo that for all the stats in the league. And then sum up the points for each stat, and that is your roto score.\n\nSo, some days, you could knock in 10 HRs but your score won't change (if it doesn't give you more cumulative HRs than the team ahead of you) or you could knock in 2 and pass  3 teams ahead of you and score big points.\n\nIt is all based on relative performance, across the league. So you kind of need to pay more attention to every team, instead of the one team you're playing against that week. \n\nIt is a unique experience - maybe try a mid-season leagu to get your feet we.

It is the same as in baseball i think.   You take the total of bases from your hits.  1 for a single 2 for a double 3 for a triple and 4 for a homerun and divide it by the number of at bats.
