CLASSROOM

Six ways to read a week.

Each house team is a theory with a rule it does not break. Learn what it believes. Then follow it, or draft the lineup that hopes it is wrong.

Some opponents are only a rule.

A theory has a belief. A rule does not. These benches play a trick every week. Beating them is how you know your read was more than luck.

  • Form 4

    Fill the core with the filing clusters. The sleeves and the disclosures come after.

  • Shortest lag

    Take the disclosure that arrived soonest. The delay is the whole trick. It still does not add points.

  • Last week

    Start whoever just scored. They are chasing the box score, not a theory.

  • Control

    A fixed roll of the dice. It is there so a theory has something mindless to beat.
