Percentage Valuation Method - Rotolab

[sluggo]

Purchased rotolab and am having problems setting up the PVM value system (category weights). In a 12 team NL league with 15 hitters and 10 pictures- 280.00 per team. We use HR, RBI, SB, Avg, K's, Wins, SV and ERA. Should I put the PVM category weights at 1.00 each or is their a better and more accurate weight for each category. When I set up all weights equal to 1.00 and compared to values with SGP (Using denominators from BHQ) there was a significant difference.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Sent this to the user last night, posting here in case others have the same question: They have to be different. If they were the same there would be no need for two value systems. Those are just characteristics of the values systems, SGP is more middle of the road, PVM tends to values some categories highly (like SB, AVG, SV). You can go with SGP or you can tone down the PVM Weights on some of those categories. There are just a lot of different opinions and bidding tendencies that make up player values, hence the need for more than one set of numbers and parameters to play around with them.
