I heard the explanation once. It has something to do with them doing it by hand in the pre-internet days and it being easier for some reason. Since the league is 15 years old or whatever, they just grandfathered in the scoring when they switched to doing it online. It's basically just an extra 0, so I'm not sure how it makes it easier, but 250 points essentially equals 25 points. oh, man I'm glad I never played fantasy sports pre-internet. It's too much work online already. the football league seems doable since you set your lineup once a week, but listening to them describe their old baseball league is horrific. Imagine, if you can, free agent pickups via SNAILMAIL.
