Contest
Overview
All contests are Total Points contests. Fantasy points
for your players in your weekly entries are added up over
the length of the contest to determine a winner. The start
week and the end week of these contests are determined by
the contest creator. Participants
create a new entry each week. All players are used to determine
your fantasy score for the week.
Entry
You will pick 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 DEF
from the boxes on our entry page. This will be your lineup
for that week. The entry page will first be available each
week on Friday at 7am ET. The boxes will be filled with the
best players according to our weekly cheatsheets. You will
be able to change your lineup each week until Sunday at 1pm
ET(or the start of the first Saturday game if there is one).
The players in any games before Saturday will not be included
in the entry form. The entry form consists
of nine boxes which you will pick one player from each to
make a legal lineup. Your point total for the week will be
determined by adding up the total fantasy points scored by
the eight players and one team defense in your lineup.

or implied, (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of
merchantability for a particular purpose). All taxes associated with

thereof, including any injury or damage to participant's or any other
person's computer related to or resulting from participation or downloading
of any materials in these Contests. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT BY ANY PERSON TO
