The baseball fundraising program is ideal for raising money in February and March, as the baseball season typically starts at the beginning of April. Of course, you can keep selling cards throughout the season.
Following is information specific to the baseball fundraiser. You can learn more about how the overall program works here.
Baseball rosters
Each fantasy baseball roster card contains five hitters (four in the starting lineup, one on the bench), and five pitchers (four in the starting lineup, one on the bench).
If you choose to manage your lineup throughout the season (which is completely optional), you can send any starting player to the bench, and put the bench player in your starting lineup. You can also release players from your roster and replace them with players from an available players pool.
This is done before the start of each month of the regular season, and is in effect for the entire month. Once the month starts, the starting lineup is frozen and any subsequent changes made will take place for the following month.
Baseball prizes
People who buy the cards will win a total of $2,000, as follows:
Each month for six months during the baseball season, four $50 prizes are awarded to the cards with:
- The four starting hitters who total the most hits.
- The four starting hitters who total the most home runs.
- The four starting pitchers who total the most wins.
- The four starting pitchers who total the most strikeouts.
At the end of the regular season there are three grand prize winners:
- First place — $400
- Second place — $250
- Third place — $150
Grand prize winners are determined by adding the statistics accumulated by the card's starting lineup in all four categories together. The highest total is the winner.
In case of a tie, the prize in question is divided evenly.
Just remember that even after you pay winners their prizes, your organization will still make up to 65% profit!
