For the archivists, totals are gathered for all participants over five four-week periods, with the top three point-scorers per period getting golden tickets 
to the survivor tournament. That’s where the player with the most points after three contests will be crowned champion. Additionally, the highest-scoring player over all 20 weeks earns a wild-card entry to the tournament.
And you can see the Touts’ recommendations as participants suggest a pitcher and hitter every Tuesday on the Tout Wars site. And, do check your rosters before first pitch as rain is anticipated in Washington and New York.
