To play the Northwoods League Fantasy Baseball game, log on to www.northwoodsleague.com and click on “Fantasy”. After a simple registration, you’ll be ready to build your roster. Participants will choose teams on a weekly basis made up of active Northwoods League alumni and current Northwoods League players. Rosters must be set prior to Monday at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time each week. The fantasy teams are comprised of one Major League alumnus, one in Triple-A, one in Double-A, one in Single-A and two current Northwoods League players. The winner will be determined by the participant whose team hits the most home runs in that given week using a weighted system. The weighted system will count one for a Major League home run, two for a minor-league home run (AAA, AA, A) and three for a home run hit by a current Northwoods League player.
The Northwoods League has more teams, plays more games, and draws more fans than any Summer Collegiate Baseball League in North America.
