How does this league work? You will select real football players to be on your fantasy team. Your team will compete directly against all other teams in the league. You will be awarded fantasy points every week based on the actual performance of your players.

How do I select my players? Click on Draft a Team from the left menu. You must select your players no later than 3pm central time each Saturday or one hour before that weeks games start, whichever comes first. Please see the NFL schedule by clicking on Schedule from the menu at left.

Can someone else have the same players as me? Yes. It is possible that someone could draft the exact same team as you, but it rarely happens.

What if I tie with someone? Tiebreakers will be resolved in the following manner: First tiebreaker will go to the coach who has the highest scoring single week during the period in question. If still tied, then the second highest week, and so on. IF still tied then the winner will be the player who submitted their team first during the most recent week of the period in question.

Is there a salary cap? No. You may draft any players you like as long as you have 1 quarterback, 2 runningbacks, 3 wide receivers and/or tight ends, 1 placekicker and 1 defensive unit. And no, you can't pick Terrell Davis twice. You must have eight unique players.

How do my players score points? Click on Scoring Grid from the left menu. Keep in mind that players can get "crossover" points. For example, quarterbacks frequently have rushing attempts and yardage while runningbacks frequently have receptions and receiving yards.

What about prizes? The cash prizes will vary depending on the number of participants. In previous years we paid small prizes to the top three weekly high scorers. This year, in order to increase the individual payouts and reward consistent excellence in play, we've change that. How? We broke the season up into four quarters (just like a real football game). To win the first quarter (and the prize money that goes with it) you'll have to score the most combined points for weeks 1 through 4. The second quarter will be weeks 5-8, and so on. For more info click on Prizes from the left menu.
