ROSTER
------
Depending on your commissioner, there are different types of rosters you
can pick. If you have around a 10-franchise league, your roster options
might be something like this:
2 Quarterbacks (QB)
5 Running Backs (RB)
3 Wide Receivers (WR)
2 Tight Ends (TE)
2 Kickers
2 Defenses
LINEUP
------
Each week you set up your starting lineup. Again, the commissioner determines
the numbers. It might be something like this:
1 Quarterback
2 Running Backs
2 Wide Recievers
1 Tight End
1 Kicker
1 Defense
You need to get your starting lineup in before the deadline established
by the commissioner!!! The commissioner needs to remember to set the
deadline, otherwise, people could change their lineup after the games
had started!
You should check your lineup each week, to substitute players, and remove
injured or poorly performing players, etc. However, if you forget, the
program will just use the same lineup you had last week. (That's not too
smart!)
SCORING
-------
Scoring is also different from league to league, and is determined by
your commissioner. Scoring can be point based only (TD's only),
performance based only (yardage only), or a combination. Usually a
combination is used. Scoring can range from very simple to very complex.
A typical league's scoring might be something like this:
6 points for TD scored
3 points for a TD pass
One point for PAT
3 points for a field goal
TD via interception by defense: 6 points
Safety by defense: 2 points
Each 100 yards rushing: 3 points
Each 300 yards passing: 3 points
BYE WEEKS
---------
Each NFL team gets a week off. During that week, you may not have enough
players!!!!!! To remedy that situation, it takes STRATEGY. Don't take
too many players from the same team or division!
BIDDING
-------
You start out Online Fantasy Football by bidding for players. Each player
has a minimum bid, based on his performance from previous years.
You can bid OVER the minimum bid. You can also outbid other franchises
for players!!! Don't be afraid to overbid, but watch out for bidding
wars! You might end up hurting yourself!
Bidding ends at the established deadline. YOU CAN SET UP YOUR STARTING
LINEUP EVEN BEFORE BIDDING IS FINISHED! If someone overbids you on a
player, that player will be removed from your roster. But at least you
have your basic lineup, in case you miss the deadline for putting in
your lineup!
