Weekly Fantasy Football Challenge Rules The Registration Process Each participant must complete the registration
process to become eligible to play. The registration is a simple process
that involves age and email verification, contact information, team
name creation, and password selection. Once you create a member ID (your email
address), choose a password, and select your team name, you will then
be given the opportunity to fill out a roster of 8 position players
and a team defense within the salary cap limits of 72 million dollars. Playing The Game Power-I formation
Balanced formation
Shotgun formation
Participants can change their formation as often as they like during the times which trading is allowed. When a participant chooses a different formation, they are given the option to retain players from their previous roster formation. Hint-- Sometimes it is advantageous to keep players whose salaries are substantially lower then the current market rate for that player. Hiring and Firing Players You can hire or fire your players by
dragging the player on or off your team. To place a pro player on your
team, simply drag the selected player you desire from the Pro Player
Pool (located below your roster) and place them in an empty slot (of
their correct position category) on your team roster. To remove a player
from your team roster, simply drag that player back into the free agent
pool below your roster. This will remove this player from your roster
and place him into the Pro Player Pool. Your available salary will reflect
any new changes. The Pro Player Pool On the Pro Player Pool, you will notice
different player positions. Clicking on the hyperlinks to those positions
will sort the database of players according to that position. The Pro
Player Pool can be further sorted by their salary (highest to lowest,
or visa-verse). Each player in the Pro Player Pool and on your roster
has a blue hyperlink. Clicking this link will display the player's stats. You will only be allowed to confirm (finalize)
your roster once you have met the minimum roster requirements. All of
this must be at or under the salary cap of 72 Million Dollars. You may
now follow the same steps above whenever you wish to make more roster
changes. However--You must click the "confirm changes" button
after making your roster changes in order to make your changes final
in our system." Once you have made the changes to your
roster and clicked on the "confirm changes" button, your trades
will be entered into our system. You can verify that these changes were
made by going to your home page or to the roster page (located on the
blue navigation bar) and clicking on my roster. Your changes will be
reflected instantly if you have completed the changes before Sunday's
games (1pm EST). See "Free Agency" and "Lock-out"
Periods below. The trading deadline is on every Sunday
1pm (EST). On occasions there are Thursday and Saturday games. If you
wish to select a player playing on either Thursday or Saturday, you
must select them before the game on that particular day begins. Once
the games begin, you will not be able to remove that player from your
roster. Team Performance Each week the scores will be calculated
and posted for viewing. By clicking on the My Performance button, you
may view your team's weekly performance. Scoring All of the participants playing in the
Salary Cap Football game use the same scoring method. Each week, we
take the actual performance from the pro players and score their performance
using the scoring chart below. These results are then assigned to the
players. Each team will have a weekly fantasy point's score (this is
the fantasy points your players on your roster have scored according
to our scoring charts for the current week). See the scoring chart below.
Player Profiles Each registered member will have a player
profile. This will be accessible by clicking on their team name. The
player profile will be a text based window where a player can write
a paragraph or so about them selves, they can give a quote, choose an
avatar image (pre-loaded DS images), and state their favorite team.
It will also detail their GM rating, their weekly performance, and display
a link to send them a private message. Pro Scout Players Each week, participants will have the
OPTION to "scout" (select) a "Pro Scout Player".
A Pro Scout Player is a Pro Football player who has a salary range between
5 and 6 dollars that a manager believes will score 10 or more fantasy
points in the selected week. Participants cannot scout the same player
twice. If the selected player scores 10 or more points for the week,
the participant will get a 15 point bonus added to their overall weekly
score for "being a good scout." If the selected player scores
9 or less points, the participant will have 5 points taken from their
overall weekly score as a penalty for "being a bad scout."
Participants DO NOT receive the Pro Scouts Players" fantasy points,
only the bonus or penalty for being a "good or bad" scout.
Dell Sports, Inc. will calculate their normal fantasy score for that
week and add or subtract the appropriate amount to/from the participants
overall weekly score. Only one player per week may be assigned the "Pro
Scout Player" of the week. The Pro Scout Player is available for
participants to change each week. Participants receive or have points
subtracted to their overall weekly score based on the Pro Scout Player
they selected for that week only! Players are NOT required to "scout"
(select) a Pro Scout Player each week. Player Salaries Salary Caps do not change throughout
the football season. However, player salaries will change. Player's
salaries will change throughout the season. The demand for a particular
player will dictate his salary. The greater the demand for a player,
the more his salary will rise. If demand for a player decreases, then
his salary will decrease. You need to watch the player salaries and
look for bargains. Shopping for good deals takes a careful eye. When
you pick up a player you retain his initial salary until you decide
to "fire" him (release him from your team). If you later decide
to pick up the same player, his salary may be different and you must
"hire" him at his current salary. You will want to scan the
Pro Player Pool often to review the player salaries. Often times, you
might find a player on your roster has a lower market demand than what
you paid for him initially (Meaning that his current salary is lower
then the salary you got him at). If this happens, we recommend "firing"
the player and then immediately "Hiring" him back. This move
will save you money on that players salary. "Free Agency" and "Lock-out" Periods You can "hire" and "fire"
players on an unlimited basis throughout the season during "Free
Agency". The "Free Agency" period starts every Tuesday
at noon (EST) and ends every Sunday at 1pm (EST). During "Free
Agency" you are able to hire and fire as many players as you desire.
The period of time between Sunday 1pm (EST) and Tuesday 12pm (EST) is
referred to as the "Lock-out" period. During the "Lock-out"
period, you may not hire or fire any player. All roster moves are prohibited
during the "Lock-out" period. Premium Upgrade Dell Sports allows users the option to
have a premium upgrade over standard members. For a one time premium

compete against all of the station participants. In a station game,
there may be many groups. Each player in the game is assigned a group
rank and a station rank. This way, you can track how you are doing in
the "war" and the "battle" at the same time. Try
to win your group for bragging rights. Your station may attach prizes
to the station winners. Call your station for more prize details. Updated
standings will be available every Tuesday, unless unforeseen problems
arise. Winning the Salary Cap Game Winning Strategy -- There is a
great deal of strategy that goes into the game of Salary Cap Football.
Some managers wish to have a bunch of good players with no superstars.
Some managers will want as many superstars as possible and hope to get
good performance out of unproven or under-rated players. Some managers
will just be picking their favorite players. There are many different
strategies that have won. Football's a great sport, so whatever your
strategy, remember to have fun and enjoy the game. Some other notes: Ø All roster changes must be completed by Sunday 1pm EST unless games are played earlier in the week.
