Hit rate is the share of winning bids that went on to score at least once as a starter — a cheap way of separating the managers who buy starters from the ones who buy handcuffs. $/point divides what a team spent by what those players returned, so lower is better.

Every bid — 60
Losing bids included, because they are the interesting half: they say what a manager was willing to pay, not just what they got away with. Points are what the player scored as a starter for that team over the stint the bid began — a player picked up, dropped and re-signed is credited to each bid separately.
