Rankings Update: Meet the New Top 10
Weekly Rankings Update: 01/27/2011
New Year, New Rankings
To ring in the New Year, RotoGrinders introduced an update to their Daily Fantasy Sports Player Rankings system. The goal is and always will be, to rate the most skilled Daily Fantasy Grinders. We believe we took a big step in that direction with this latest version. Out the door are Diversity Restrictors, which prevented high-volume or low-buyin players from reaching their true rank, to make way for Skill Multipliers, which provide bonuses to the players who play the most sports and the highest variety of sites and scoring systems. For full details on the new system head on over to our Rankings FAQ
Grinder Rankings – Overall – Meet the New Top 10
