Welcome to the Fantasy Football Conference (FFC). This program will manage
an entire Fantasy Football League. Since this is only the Test Drive version
it will only manage the league for the first three weeks of the season. For
more information regarding registration please contact us at one of the
following :
internet : falcon@wyvern.wyvern.com
fidonet : Primetime Sports @ 1:3400/26
phone : (406) 585-8251
The current registration price of version 2.04 is only $32 and version 2.10
is due out before the beginning of next football season.
For those who don't know what Fantasy Football is - it is a game where you
and a bunch of friend's get together and each own and manage your own football
team. You make the decisions of who to draft, who to play on game day, who to
trade to other teams, and what free agents you wish to acquire. The real fun
of Fantasy Football is that no two leagues are the same as the rules vary
greatly depeding on personal preference. For more information regarding
Fantasy Football I would recommend the following :
Fantasy Football Digest by Cliff Charpentier, ISBN 0-8225-9966-X
Fantasy Football Magazine, 18247 66th Avenue NE, Seattle WA 98155
Regardless of which rules you play by, organizing or running a Fantasy
Football League takes a lot of time and effort. This is exactly why we
created FFC. Before it was taking anywhere from 2 to 10 hours weekly to
run a single league where as now it only takes about 30 minutes or so.
Most other programs that serve a similar purpose charge a yearly fee for
NFL statistics that can be integrated into the program. You either paid
their price or had to enter the necessary statistics by hand. We do not
have such policy and in fact our statistics are FREE. In some cases it
may require a two minute phone call but the statistics are still free of
charge to our users.
The rest of this manual is dedicated to the options and abilities of FFC.
Hopefully you be able to tell how easy, convenient, and time saving this
program is. Currently we have an example league set up so that you can
manipulate and experiment accordingly. If you want to set up your own league
just use the Reset League option. Also included are our stats files for the
first three weeks of 1993 (PTWEEK01.200, PTWEEK02.200, PTWEEK03.200) so that
you can really see how FFC works. If you have any problems or questions please
fell free to contact us.
