Baseball is great. It is also sometimes slow. To help make the breaks more enjoyable, my friends and I play the dollar game. I'm always asked the rules that I play with, so rather than rehash via text...here they are.
Enjoy the game!
Whats Required:
- 2-5 people
- $1/$5 bills preferred (can use all-star ballots, pieces of paper and a pen.etc)
Draft/Player Rules:
- Draft is done snake style - typically 2 players selectedper person (no pitchers)
- To add a 3rd person to each roster, in the 3rd round you 'select' a player for someone else's team
- Payout is whatever is decided on the field at the time - any re-scoring is not made up
- If a player is taken out of a game, you take the player that replaces him. In a double switch, take the position in the field that is replaced
Scoring:
| Everyone pays you: | You pay everyone: |
|
Single - $1
|
Strike Out Swinging - $1 |
|
Double - $2
|
Strike Out Looking - $2 |
|
Triple - $3
|
Caught Stealing - $1 |
|
Homerun - $4
|
Make an Error - $1 |
|
RBI - $1
|
GIDP - $2 |
|
Stolen Base -
$1
|
Below are some additional rules I have also seen played that I do not:
-$1/hit of any type + double score for a home run (single, double, triple worth $1 +$1/RBI, home run worth =(1+RBI) x2
