Owners get one point for each run, hit, HR, RBI and SB that their players get. You are allowed to make a single trade anytime before the end of August. You can 'trade' one player on your team for another player in the same group - you'll get all the points of the new player in exchange for all the points of the old player. Email must be postmarked no later than midnight August 31st.

Here's the list of teams and players showing their total points as well as their points breakdown (runs+hits+HRs+RBIs+SBs) and the number of points behind the point leader of the group:
