Frequently Asked Questions

What is the biggest difference between this game and my normal fantasy game I play in?
The fact that every week is a new season and a new opportunity to win! If you get off to a bad start in your seasonal game you are more than likely out of contention, and there is nothing worse than not having a vested fantasy interest each week of the season. In our contest you have a chance at winning prizes every week as you start from scratch and enter a new team.

I am used to my draft style league, what is the difference between that and a salary cap league like this?
In a draft style contest, once a player is picked he is exclusively owned by that team and you cannot use him. In a salary cap contest you are given the chance to put the best team on the field each week by using your management skills and spending your money wisely. Each week you will have $550 of “cap room” to create a team. Players vary in salary depending upon their fantasy performances from years past and expectations this season. This will allow you to take into consideration many factors that a draft league would not, such as injury factors, weather conditions and team matchups as well as scout for low salary value players that could have a huge week. All this leads to more skill and less luck so the best managers will prevail each week!

Are there leagues in this weekly contest?
No. This contest is an open league contest, meaning that your team(s) compete against all other teams that have entered for that week. The teams with the most points are the winners.

The prizes are guaranteed?
That is absolutely correct. We do not base our prizes on the number of entries and we are guaranteeing our advertised payouts each week regardless of the number of entries.

What will happen if the membership goes through the roof? Will the prizes always stay the same?
We would love to raise our prizes at some point this season and offer a weekly first place prize of $100,000! So help us spread the word!

I read that you will be offering other prizes throughout the season, is that true?
In the spirit of generating as much excitement as possible, in upcoming weeks we will be giving away plasma televisions, trips to Vegas, I-Pods, and many other exciting prizes. We will be making announcements soon!

Will I be able to view the lineups of my competitors?
Absolutely! Once the deadline passes and the teams are locked, you will be able to click on any team and it will show their lineup for the week.

Can I follow the progress of the teams throughout the games?
Yes. Once the games start, our live scoring feature allows you to click on any team and follow it throughout the day. It is updated almost instantly and has all of the stats broken down for each player as they accumulate them. It also updates the Overall Leaderboard as the game progresses!

Will there ever be ties?
The odds of any two teams being the same, given all of the position requirements, would be very unlikely. Also, with our intricate scoring system that carries out the points to the nearest hundredth, we don’t foresee ties being an issue. But in the rare event two teams did tie, they would simply split the prize money.

Can I enter all my stud players at higher salaries and leave out a kicker or a defense if I stay under the salary cap?
No. This would be an invalid lineup. Part of the strategy behind this contest is to create the best lineup for that particular week. This means filling all required roster positions. If you leave any position unfilled, your team is invalid and not eligible for prizes. Make sure you fill out your entire team each week!

This sounds great, how many teams can I enter and do I save money if I enter multiple teams?
The maximum amount of teams per customer is 5 and yes, there are discounts for multiple team sign ups. You can save $25 by entering 5 teams, which is essentially getting a team for free. You can also save when you enter 3 or 4 teams!

Do I need to enter multiple teams to win?
Absolutely not. Of course the more teams you enter the better your odds are of winning, since you can vary your teams (play stud receivers on one team, stud running backs on another, etc.) But it only takes one team to win, although you could have multiple teams in the prize spots.

Do I have to play every week?
No. Since it is a weekly contest, you can play any week of the season or every week of the season..

Are the prizes paid out weekly?
Yes. The prizes are paid out each week! Prize checks are mailed the Friday following your week’s victory.
