PAY THE FAN FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUES

There is a one-time entry fee of $39.95 for each team you register to compete in the PTF fantasy football leagues. There is no limit to the number of teams you may register to compete in the PTF fantasy football leagues (subject to the payment of an additional entry fee for each team you register. In order to compete in the PTF fantasy football leagues, you must complete and submit your entry before 10:15 PM EST on September 13, 2010. NO ENTRIES WILL BE ALLOWED AFTER 10:15 P.M. EST ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2010.

When you become a Registered User of PTF, you will automatically be enrolled in two (2) types of fantasy football leagues offered by PTF (collectively, the “Official Leagues”): (1) the “official” professional football (Full-Season League); and (2) the “weekly” professional football league (Weekly League). As a participant in the Official Leagues, subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth in the Terms and Conditions of Use, you will compete against the other Registered Users of PTF for valuable prizes (described below).

In addition to the Official Leagues, you may create your own private or public fantasy leagues. If you choose to start your own private or public fantasy league, PTF will help you get started and show you how to invite other Registered Users into your fantasy league.

League Overview

The Full-Season League and the Weekly League are each “Total Points” leagues. The goal is to accumulate as many points as you can on a weekly basis and, for the Full-Season League, your weekly point totals are added together to determine your “Total Points” for the entire professional football season (the “Season”). Each week, and throughout the entire Season, you can track your Total Points to determine how you are doing against the rest of the PTF Registered Users.

There is no player draft. You are permitted to start any player in the professional football league (each a “Player” and, collectively, the “Players”) in your weekly roster, but each Player can only be started twice during the entire Season. Each Player in your weekly lineup may be added or dropped up until kickoff of the game in which such Player is playing during that week.

Each week you will start eight Players comprised of the following:

  • 1 Quarterback
  • 2 Wide Receivers
  • 2 Running Backs
  • 1 Tight End
  • 1 Kicker
  • 1 Team Defense/Special Teams (Special Teams points will be awarded to your defense based on the PTF scoring system)

Each Player earns points for your team based upon the following Player scoring system:

If two or more Registered Users that win a Prize (each a “Prize Winner”) accumulate an identical one-week score, for Weekly Prize Winners, or an identical full-season score, for Full-Season Prize Winners, those Prize Winners will split the combined value of the Weekly Prize, for Weekly Prize Winners, or the Full-Season Prize, for Full-Season Prize Winners, associated with their original finishing orders. For example, if two Registered Users tie for first and second place Full-Season Prizes, the combined value of the Full-Season Prizes for first and second place will be combined and divided evenly between the two Full-Season Prize Winners.
