Quote of the day
"It's frustrating. [Derek Jeter is] six hits away. You'd hope he could've did it here." -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi, after Jeter left Monday night’s game with a strained calf muscle

Daily blurb
Today I want to showcase another daily contest site with which I have a new affiliate relationship.

Probably the newest daily contest site on the web, Daily Joust was created and developed by a team of dedicated and passionate fantasy sports professionals. Free and real money contests are offered daily. Their scoring formula is quite similar to FanDuel’s formula, although the Joust formula does include a few extra statistical factors. The site layout is intuitive, and includes some useful statistical data right on the contest entry screen, including fantasy point averages (full year and recent). Rosters are similar to FanDuel's as well, although outfielders are not differentiated by left, center, and right.

Perhaps the most unique feature of Daily Joust is the Solo Contest, where you are not competing against another roster, but only against a preset target score, which is currently set at 50 points. This takes some of the randomness out of the contest by eliminating a variable competitor. Of course, that can cut both ways.

DailyBaseballData and RotoGuru have also expanded their tools to incorporate Daily Joust salary, position, and statistical data. Daily Joust positions can now be highlighted in the Batter vs Pitcher report, and the sortable stats and daily point recaps now include Daily Joust as a game option.

To register at Daily Joust, please click on the banner above or on one of the Daily Joust links in this discussion. (The referrer field should have “rotoguru” already filled in.) Currently, Daily Joust is offering a 25% bonus on initial deposits, plus a free Solo contest. Note that there are some participation requirements to fully collect on this offer, which are clearly spelled out on the deposit page.
