The Contest

Fantasy Sports Technologies money leagues allow the public to participate in pre-created 12 and 14 team leagues which are administered by our staff.  Teams will play in 2 divisions with either 6 teams (12 team league) or 7 teams (14 team league) per division.  The top 2 teams in each division advances to the playoffs and subsequent 3 spots will be awarded to the teams with the best overall records regardless of their division and the final spot is reserved for the team with the most points scored during the regular season.

 

League Management

All league administration and decisions will be resolved by our talented and unbiased staff.  We will review all trades and disputes and resolve them with your league’s overall interest in mind.  In many cases we will solicit league opinions via email and message board to help aide our decisions.  Once a decision has been made by our staff it is final and cannot be challenged or vetoed.

Drafting
Fantasy Sports Technologies LLC understands that the draft is the most important day of your league and we’ve created the ultimate drafting tool for you to use.  The Fantasy Football Draft Master™, our one of a kind player projections and live draft engine allows you to customize a player’s statistical projections giving you ultimate control over your cheat sheet.  No arbitrary figures or best guesses, every calculation is based off of your league’s scoring system, so you get completely accurate data reflected in your real-time cheat sheet which you use during the draft.  With the ability to trade picks, talk smack, and the seemingly limitless information at your fingertips there’s simply is no better drafting tool on the Internet today!

As soon as your team is created you can begin customizing your cheat sheet for use at your draft.  If you’d rather not get into the projections aspect we also offer a simple “My Rank” feature that will allow you to easily customize your cheat sheet to your liking.

If you choose not to attend the draft our drafting system will fill your team out for you.  The draft system will award the top available player to your team based on the following order:

 

1. Draft Queue
2. My Rank
3. Overall Rank

 

In the event that you're unable to attend or get knocked offline during the draft it’s highly recommended that you customize your player projections or My Rank settings.  While we make every effort to ensure our rankings are accurate we surely can’t guarantee the draft system will select the player you would have.

 

After a league has filled, the league will be emailed and the draft order generated. Afterwards owners can login at any time to view the draft order.  In the event a league does fill 48 hour prior to the scheduled draft time, notification will be sent to all owners informing the league will be disbanded 24 hours prior to the schedule draft date and time if the league is not full.

 

Your league’s draft will automatically start at the draft date and time specified and cannot be started before then.  Once the draft has begun it will not be paused or restarted.  The draft will be either 12 or 14 rounds depending on your league size and teams will have 2 minutes to pick.

 

Rosters

Rosters “MAY NOT” exceed 16 players.  Teams may carry less than 16 players.  A team defense counts as “one player” toward the player roster limit.  Rosters may consist of any combination of players/team defenses that you choose.  There are no specific requirements for a team’s bench.  However, it’s recommended that teams have a serviceable backup to replace any normal starters during their bye weeks

 

Weekly Lineups
Our contests requires that teams submit a single weekly starting lineup consisting of the following positions and starters:

 

 

·        Owners may change their starting lineups immediately after their draft and up to kickoff of your player’s actual NFL game.  Lineup submission will be locked every Monday from 9:00 pm until the following Tuesday at 12:00pm while the website is updated with finalized statistics,

·        Players must be inserted into your starting lineup prior to the start of their weekly game and cannot be moved into or out of the starting lineup once the scheduled kickoff has taken place.

·        In weeks that NFL games take place on days other than Sundays owners must declare any starters that take part in early games prior to kickoff of their game.

·        In the event that no lineup has been submitted or a lineup has been posted late, the team’s lineup from the previous week will be used. 

o       Note - Prior to kickoff each week, lineups will be checked and players who may have bye weeks will be replaced with the starter of the same position who has most overall fantasy points scored.

·        Teams that fail to submit a lineup for 2 consecutive weeks will be issued a lineup warning.  If the said team fails to submit a lineup for the 3^rd consecutive week that team will be removed from the league and control will be assumed by our staff.

 

Free Agents

·        Free Agents are awarded to each team based on a bidding process using Free Agent dollars allocated to each team at the start of the season.

·        Each Owner begins the season with 200 Free Agent dollars.

·        Owners can spend their dollars as they wish, but once your total has been spent you will be unable to bid on additional FA’s.

·        The deadline for Free Agent bids is every Friday at 12:00pm EST.

·        Teams are allowed to bid on Free Agents through Week 13 of the NFL Season.

·        The team with the highest bid on a particular Free Agent will be awarded the player.

o       NOTE – In the event of a tied bid, the team with the worst record will be awarded the FA.

·        Owners can bid on multiple Free Agents.

o       NOTE – Only bids which you win will result in your tokens being deducted.

·        Owners may trade their Free Agent dollars.

 

Trading

·        There is unlimited trading through Week 9 of the regular season.

·        Teams may trade players and free agent dollars.

·        Each owner may submit a veto to trades that they feel are collusive.

o       NOTE – A veto MUST be accompanied by sufficient reasoning. Vetoes that are submitted with one-line explanations on why the trade is collusive will be thrown out and not counted towards the 4-veto total. All vetoes that are submitted will be forwarded onto the teams involved in the trade for their review should they request so. Owners will also receive detailed explanations from the trade committee.

·        If a particular trade receives 4+ vetoes, our trade committee will then review the trade.

·        THE COMMITTEE MUST BE IN 100% AGGREEANCE THAT THE TRADE IS COLLUSIVE AND NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE LEAGUE.

o       NOTE – The trade board’s sole purpose is to prevent collusion within the league.  It is not the responsibility of the trading board to determine if the trade is “fair” for both owners involved in a trade.

·        ALL JUDGMENTS MADE BY THE COMMITTEE WILL BE FINAL.

·        Should the trade be vetoed the teams involved in the trade will have the option to rework the deal and if requested use each owner's and the committee’s comments to gain league approval until the Week 10 trading deadline.
