I've never heard of a headtohead league that has a maximum innings limit for the entire year. Usually people talk about limits for the week, but why not have a limit for the season?
That way people who roster churn run out of innings and lose every pitching category down the stretch.

Did I miss it, somebody say there is a max innings limit for the entire year on this thread?
What is the big deal on his? Strange rule? Weekly formats have been around forever and are the de-facto standard on CBS. Some people like daily roster churning, others don't. And it is weekly lineups, not weekly transactions. You can pick up players all you want day to day but rosters are effective for an entire week. Same for eveyone and really does it really make a difference if game played and IP limits are put into play in daily leagues? Not really.
I like weekly formats better...always have as it cuts out the BS roster moves that daily leagues can have. You are supposed to field your best team for the long haul in Roto and emulate a real baseball team as much as possible. Real baseball teams do not pick up a reserve C on Saturday to play him on Sunday while Posada sits and then cut him loose on Monday. If you get a thrill out of adding a marginal C for 4 ABs and think that adds to the fantasy game significantly, more power to you. Nothing wrong with Daily leagues as long as the proper rules/lmits are in place...nothing wrong with weekly ones either imo. Simply a matter of preference.
My league has similar rules, but we allow one mid-week substitutions for injuries. It's not an uncommon format. Another league I'm in uses weekly lineups, but then it allows you to designate a backup for each spot. If your starter gets less than 6 games that week, then the backup fills in the missing games.
A lot of H2H leagues use this type of lineup format, and I agree that it does promote long-term ownership of solid players while simultaneously discouraging churning, which I despise.

May not be a strange rule to you but it is to me, like I said in a pervious post I enjoy coming home from work and getting my roster ready for the next day. This weekly roster change reminds me of fantsy football, you have one guess to see who is going to preform the best for the week. And this is not a roto league either, as stated earlier. As for dropping and adding players just for the fact of having a person to fill a spot, I personally have only seen that done in the playoffs. and sure that is a problem, but one that could be handled differently. I spent time picking players for this team and not to be able to play a pitcher that I draft on any givin day personally I think is very lame. You should be able to play whomever is on your roster at any givin time IMO.

while this isnt the topic of the thread, sandbox i think was the first H2H league to limit innings for batters and pitchers on the year, and yes, it did eliminate roster churning
Personally, in H2H WEEKLY leagues, I prefer no limits, makes you manage more
h2h daily leagues, and daily pt leagues though NEED game limits
in my original post I NEVER metentioned anything about max innings
