In a Rotisserie League (roto), fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Points are then awarded according to the order of finish in each category, and are totaled to determine an overall score and place. This is VERY different compared to head 2 head leagues.
So, if you are in a 12-team league for instance, the team with the most touchdowns will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc.
Therefore, the maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category.
So, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144].
The overall ranking of your team will rise and fall depending on how it performs relative to the performance of other league members.
