Is there a way to calculate dollars earned for 6X6 leagues where "holds" are the sixth category?Once again, here is the article I posted regarding the theory for 4x4 versus 5x5.
Using this same logic, let's look at two scenarios for 6x6 where holds are added as a category.
Scenario A: A quantitative category (e.g. triples, walks) is added on offense.
In this scenario, you now have 14 hitters producing statistics in five quantitative categories offering 70 improvement units and nine pitchers producing statistics in four quantitative categories offering 36 improvement units. In this league, hitters are worth 66% of the league's auctioned value and pitchers 34%, or approximately $172 for hitters and $88 for pitchers per team.
Scenario B: A qualitative category (e.g. SLG, OBP) is added on offense.
In this scenario, your same 14 hitters continue to produce statistics in only four quantitative categories (HR, RBI, SB, Runs). They offer 56 improvement units to the pitchers' 36 improvement units. In this league, hitters are worth 61% of the league's auctioned value to pitchers' 39%, or approximately $158 for hitters for $102 for pitchers per team.
That's theoretical answer, anonymous. The practical answer is that I don't know.
I'm most familiar with how the 4x4 formulas operate. On the hitting side, RBI are worth $2 for every $1.5 HR are worth to every $1 that SB are worth. Batting average is worth $0 across the board, with players above the league's average BA accumulating dollars and players below that average losing them. On the pitching side, wins and saves are given a flat denominator every year, regardless of how many wins or saves are bought in an average Rotisserie League. ERA and WHIP are treated the same way as batting average is.
5x5 operates under the same general premise, but I don't know how the offensive categories or the pitching categories are weighted under this format. I would need to know what the "average" leagues that Alex Patton uses for his formulas are and to go backward from the quantitative totals to see how much an RBI is weighted versus a home run, a stolen base, and a run.
Patton doesn't even do formulas for 6x6 in his software, so I'd be climbing even further up a limb to try and guess how these formulas might work.
One good place to start would be knowing which offensive category you use as the sixth offensive category.

We're using doubles, plus triples. As the sixth category.
