For the purposes of this game, the U.S. professional baseball season is divided into a series of "Game Weeks." The first Game Week begins on Monday, March 30 and ends Sunday, April 12. The final Game Week begins on Monday, September 21 and ends Sunday, October 4. All other Game Weeks begin every Monday at 12:00 AM (midnight) PT and run through the following Sunday at 11:59:59 PM PT.
If you sign-up after a Game Week is already underway, your team/league will not begin its season until the start of the following week. Please also keep in mind that you will only receive fantasy points for professional baseball games which begin and are played after your league's initial draft has taken place.
However, if you have joined or created a Custom League, the commissioner may opt to run a retroactive stats update, which would result in the addition of stats accumulated in games completed prior to your league's draft. As a result, your team may be credited with wins/losses from Game Weeks completed prior to your draft.
