| Rotisserie
leagues rank each of the teams in the league from first to last in each
statistical category you choose. Points are then awarded according to
the order of finish in each category, and are totaled to determine an
overall score and place. In a 12 team league, for example, the team
with the most HR will receive 12 points, the team with the second most
will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved
receives an average of the total points due.
We have 3 types of rotisserie leagues - ROTO H2H - Head to head play in which your categories are compared only to your opponents categories. The team with the most category wins is awarded the win. ROTO H2H Each Category - This is the same as above but you are awarded a win or loss for EACH category that you win or lose. ROTO
TOTAL POINTS - The basic version as described in the first paragraph. |
| 20. What is a points-based league? |
| This
is a league where a specific value is assigned to each stat a player
earns. All of these stats are tabulated into fantasy points for each
team. Those totals are used to determine leaders for each scoring
period you choose or to determine a win or a loss in a head-to-head
format. Go to top |
| 21. What scoring period options do I have? |

double-headers or even more games per week. Go to top |

| In
a Head-to-Head league, your team will square off in a weekly match-up
against another team in your league to see who can compile the best
stats across the different statistical categories you choose. You
decide what constitutes a "win" - either by most points, most
categories or each category. Go to top |
| 24. I have a head-to-head league that schedules multiple match-ups each week. Can the online league manager allow for a team to play 2 teams in one scoring period? |

the start of every scoring period. Go to top |
| 30. What are waivers? |
| Typically,
fantasy leagues use a waiver system to allow all members of a league a
fair opportunity to add a player to their team. Players that are
dropped from a roster of another team in your league can be placed on
waivers. Any team may claim a player on waivers, but will not be
awarded the player until the waiver period has ended. When the waiver
period ends, the players are awarded to teams based on a worst to first
setup (league standings). After a player "clears waivers" he becomes a
free agent and can be picked up by any team. Go to top |
| 31. What choices do I have to award players on waivers/free agents? |
| You
can choose to use a waiver priority list that does not reset or a
priority list that resets each week based on standings OR you can set
the transactions to become first come/first serve - meaning the team
owner that chooses a player first gets the player. Go to top |
| 32. Can my league use a bidding system for free agents? |
| Yes.
The online league manager will provide an automated way to track this
type of free agent system. Each team will start out with a designated
amount of money to bid on free agents during the season can bid on Free
Agents with the top bid awarded that player. The commissioner of your
league can set the total dollars each team starts the season with to
bid on players. All bids during the season must be made in $1
increments and the minimum bid is $1 for all leagues. Go to top |

periods each week. Go to top |
| 34. What type of drafts are available? |
| During
setup, the commissioner may choose from five different draft types -
live online draft, extended online draft, automated online draft,
auction draft, or an offline draft. Go to top |
| 35. What is a live draft? |
| The
live draft option allows you to control every athlete that is placed on
your roster. The draft will last as many rounds as you specify during
setup (EDIT DRAFT ORDER). Draft order for the first round will be
selected by the commissioner during setup. He can then either choose a
repeating draft order for every round thereafer or a reversal draft
order. The order in which team owners draft reverses in each successive
round, so that the owner who drafts first in the first round, will
draft last in the second round, and so on. The commissioner can then
customize the draft to add or remove picks, trade picks, etc. Go to top |
| 36. Can the commissioner draft players for any team in the league during a live draft? |

pick his players based on his rankings, or if no rankings, by the
site's default rankings. Go to top |
| 38. My league already exists and we keep players year-to-year. Can my league still use a live draft since each team already has players on their rosters? |
| Yes.

prior to the draft. When the live draft begins, those players will
already appear on the owner's rosters and will not be listed as
available players for the draft. Go to top |
