Fantasy for Newbies

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

If you've come to this site and don't know where to begin, then this short introduction to fantasy gaming is just for you.

In Fantasy Sports, you have the opportunity to become a team manager. You call the shots by building a team of players that compete against other teams in a Fantasy League.

Fantasy Leagues are formed by a commissioner, who is often the person in your group of friends that is either the most knowledgeable or passionate about fantasy sports. The commissioner's main tasks are inviting friends to the league, and setting up the league's scoring settings and draft date.

Players are chosen in the Fantasy League through a draft, which is either live, automated, or conducted off-line. In a live draft, team managers can select players in real time. In an automated draft, a computer algorithm makes the selections for you based upon pre-determined player ranking preferences. In an off-line draft, the league's commissioner uploads draft results and then activates the league.

After the draft, free agency is available until postseason games begin. From then on, you simply root on your players; the manager with the players that perform the best wins. As an added bonus, the winner gets a license to brag about their prognostication skills (at least until the next fantasy season begins).

At this point, you're armed with all the information you need to get started. Please note that our site is completely free and does not involve gambling.
