Welcome to Bat-O-Matic, the fun, free, fantasy baseball game. Every two weeks you can select your own baseball dream team from over 100 of Major League Baseball's top stars. Bat-O-Matic is stat-driven, so the better your players do in real games, the more fantasy points they will score for your team.

If you have any questions, you can write the Commissioner.

Signing in is simple. To begin, go to the main Bat-O-Matic page and click on the link that says "Draft a team."

You will be taken to a new page where you will be asked to choose two names. One is for your team and the other is for your manager. Example: Team name = "Yanks Rule" Manager name = "Jerry" (Please don't use your last name)

Then, click the button at the bottom of that page that says "sign me up" and you're ready to draft your team!

Don't mess with the Commish: The Commissioner will reject your draft entry if you use foul language in your manager's name or team name. So play it safe and keep it clean!

DRAFTING A TEAM

You'll start with $4,500,000 to begin drafting your team of 13 players. Naturally, the biggest stars cost the most. So don't expect to fill your team with 13 superstars like Barry Bonds or A-Rod.

You'll need to draft for each of the following postions:

If you go over your salary cap, or if you do not draft a full team of 13 players, the Commissioner will reject your team. No problem, you'll just have to back up and try again.

Note: You can draft a team at any time, but to compete in that season's games, you must draft before 12:00 a.m. (midnight) EST on Wednesday. At 12:01, the draft will begin for the following season's games. Please set aside at least 15 minutes to sign up and draft your team.

JOINING A LEAGUE
When you're done drafting, it's time to join a league. You can either have the Commissioner assign you to a 10-team league, or you can compete against your family and friends in one of our Hall of Fame leagues. Hall of Fame leagues can have up to 50 teams per league!
