excerpt of Head-to-Head rules:
Roster RestrictionsDuring your league's draft, each owner will draft 22 MLB players... no more than 16 are in the active lineup each week. Any player not in the active lineup may be put in reserve status, as long as the total number of players on the roster doesn't exceed 22. All teams?must have a minimum of 5 pitchers in the active lineup. This is the only minimum roster requirement. There are, however, maximums imposed for active rosters each week:
Weekly
Lineup Draft Maximum MaximumCatcher 1 2
First Basemen 1 1
Second Basemen 1 1
Third Basemen 1 1
Shortstops 1 1
Outfielders 3 6
Utility 1 1
Pitchers 7 9
All Positions 16 22
Schedule & Playoffs (For Head-to-Head Leagues)For Head-to-Head leagues, the Fantasy Regular Season will run for 23 weeks from 4/1/2007 through 9/9/2007. During the regular season, each team will play 23 weekly (Monday-Sunday, with the exception of Week 1 which takes place from Sunday-Sunday) Head-to-Head matchups as follows:
? 3 matchups versus every divisional opponent (12 matchups total)
? 2 matchups versus every non-divisional opponent (10 matchups total)
? 1 extra matchup versus a random non-division opponent (1 total)
PlayoffsWhen the 23-game fantasy regular season ends on September 9, 2007, four teams from the league will make the fantasy playoffs.
Weekly Head-to-Head Scoring SystemContest also offers a weekly Head-to-Head scoring option. During each week (Monday-Sunday, with the exception of Week 1 which takes place from Sunday-Sunday), two teams face each other in a Head-to-Head matchup. Each team earns points based on statistics accumulated by its players that week. Point values are listed in the table below. The team with the most points that week gets a Win, and the other team gets a Loss. In the event of tie, the team with the most reserve (a.k.a. "bench") points gets the win. Standings are based on teams' Win/Loss records.

Head-to-Head Notes:? A team's score is tabulated daily.
? Pitchers' hitting stats will not generate any hitting points, and batter's pitching stats will not generate pitching points.
? A player will accumulate hitting stats whether or not he plays at the position designated by SportsLine. (e.g., Darin Erstad is listed at 1B on a Fantasy team's roster and he plays OF in a particular game. His hitting stats in that game will still count towards his Fantasy team's total points.)
