Overview
Welcome to FantasyPostseason.com - your free postseason home for fantasy sports. The most important time of year in any sport is the
postseason, and that is our singular focus.
Given the nature of the NCAA Bowl season, our fantasy leagues require very little time commitment. However, with a robust set of features, we provide
all the tools necessary to help you take home your league's title.
What follows is a detailed listing of our College Football rules; this includes our types of drafts, default league configuration, options,
and scoring.
Important Note:
At FantasyPostseason.com, we uphold the amateur status of college players; this site is not intended for any type of gambling
activities whatsoever.
Types of Drafts
We offer five different types of drafts:
- Live-Draft: In a Live-Draft, each manager selects players in real-time against others. Note: A maximum of 15 managers are permitted.
- Auto-Draft: In an Auto-Draft, our system automatically selects players for each manager. The system selects either the highest-rated
player in our default rankings or your pre-draft rankings. Please note that your pre-draft rankings are vital in many ways, as they will also
become your default picks in a Live draft (should you either fail to appear, or fail to make a selection in time).
- Snake-Draft: In a Snake-Draft, the last manager to make a selection in a round will be the first manager to make a selection in the next round.
Take for instance a draft with 12 managers:
Round 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Round 2: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Round 3: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
- Banzai-Draft: In a Banzai-Draft, the draft order is similar to a Snake-Draft, but the order of the third round is switched to match the order
of the second. Note: Banzai drafts are gaining in popularity, as they are perceived to be fairer to those managers picking last in the first
round.
For example:
Round 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Round 2: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Round 3: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
- Off-line Draft: In an Off-line Draft, the league commissioner loads the league draft results. Results should only be loaded after all
league members have joined.
Every manager gets one selection per round until their roster is full. The draft order is set by the league administrator; the order can either be
set manually or randomly selected.
Projected Scoring
To assist with our pre-draft rankings, we include a Projected Score value for each player in the post-season. This value accounts for each player's
regular season statistics and category values.

Scoring
Fantasy points are awarded based on how well players perform in each of the statistical categories a league is tracking. Scoring is influenced by a number of factors:
- Per Player Multipliers: Commissioners have the option to implement player scoring adjustments. If they do, a player's performance can be worth more (or less) than other players on a team
manager's roster. For example, this option can be used to provide freshmen with a 10% scoring bonus by adjusting the scoring multiplier to 1.1.
Note: The 'Per Player Multipliers' should not be set to zero. A zero means scores for that player do not count.
- Category Scoring: Commissioners have the option to change the value of each scoring category from their defaults to a range between 10 and -10. Note: Categories that are set to 0 will not be
tracked.
For example, a league may choose to only track Pass Yds/TDs, Rush Yds/TDs, and Rec Yds/TDs. Pass Yds are assigned a value of 0.05, Pass TDs a value of 3.0, Rush Yds a
value of 0.1, Rush TDs a value of 6.0, Rec Yds a value of 0.1, and Rec TDs a value of 6.0. In the below example, player John Doe will accumulate a total of 33 fantasy points:
| Pass Yds | Pass TDs | Rush Yds | Rush TDs | Rec Yds | Rec TDs |
| 400 | 2 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
- Value by Category:
- Pass Yds Value = 20 (400 Yds * 0.05)
- Pass TDs Value = 6 (2 TDs * 3.0)
- Rush Yds Value = 1 (10 Yds * 0.1)
- Rush TDs Value = 6 (1 TD * 6.0)
- Rec Yds Value = 0 (0 Yds * 0.1)
- Rec TDs Value = 0 (0 TDs * 6.0)
- Overall Value:
- 33 = 20 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 0 + 0
Important Note:
Fantasy points are only awarded to players that are on a manager's roster prior to a team's scheduled game. At that time, all players
on that team will be locked, and remain locked through the duration of the bowl season. During a team's locked period, no transactions with players who played in
that team's bowl game are allowed (this includes player adds, drops, or trades).
Touchdowns that occur on punt returns or kickoffs are neither credited to the player or to the Defense/Special Teams.
Free Agency
If commissioners choose to allow free agency, managers can add/drop players via the 'Free Agents' option from the league home page. To add a player, select a player from the free-agent pool, and
then select a player to drop from your team.
Single player adds or drops are supported. However, the system will not allow the addition of players beyond a league's roster size limit. Player additions must also respect position
requirements. For example, if a league requires a maximum of 1 QB, the system will not allow a manager to add a QB to leave their roster with more than 1 (unless Flex slots are available).
The number of free agent moves allowed and the length of time free agency is permitted are both configurable by the commissioner.
Important Note:
During a team's locked period, no transactions with players on that team are allowed (this includes player adds or drops). Players on eliminated teams cannot be added or dropped.
Trades
If commissioners choose to allow trades, managers can trade players via the 'Trades' option from the league home page. To trade a player, select a player from the 'My Players' list, select a trading
partner, and then select a player you wish to acquire from that manager's team.
Unbalanced trades are supported. However, trades must respect a league's roster size and position requirements. For example, although a trade of 1 RB for 3 QBs is allowed, all 3 QBs will be placed
'On Hold' (after the trade is approved), if the trade puts the recipient over either the maximum roster size or maximum number of QBs allowed. Players are released from hold once the offending
manager adjusts their roster (either via Free Agency or additional trades) to conform to the required limits.
A maximum of 3 players from one team can be traded at a time. Trade offers must be accepted within 48 hours or they are automatically cancelled.
The length of time trades are permitted is configurable by the commissioner.
Important Note:
During a team's locked period, no trades with players on that team are allowed. Players on eliminated teams cannot be traded.

Winning the Game
The goal is to have your team accumulate more fantasy points than all of the other teams in your league. All players that are active in
bowl games can accumulate points. Points are tallied game by game; the team with the highest total at the end of the bowl season wins the championship. In the
very unlikely event that a league should end in a tie, each manager will get a share of the title.
