#x# usually is referring to the number of categories that counts towards scoring. The first number represent the number of hitting categories and second represent number of pitching categories. Standard is 5 hitting and 5 pitching.

correct. specifically, a 5x5 refers to the following categories:

hitting: runs, ba, hr, rbi, sb
pitching: wins, k, saves, era, whip

the 5x5 system isn't perfect, but leagues that add more categories generally obliterate the value of pitchers, because there are so few positive "accumulation" stats for pitchers. things like hr, k/bb ratio, bb, k/9, etc. will only discourage you from racking up more innings.
