| 1. | I want my playoffs to start earlier, but there are still H2H games appearing on the schedule. How do I remove these?
Answer: If you wish to remove the H2H matchups because you now wish to start your playoffs earlier you can do so by going to the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup.
Here you can choose the week that you wish to edit by clicking on the links at the top of the screen. Then you can use the drop down boxes to set each of the matchups to be bye vs bye and Save the new schedule.
Do this for each week that you wish to remove so that they do not conflict with the playoff brackets.

| 2. | What can I do if a specific fantasy schedule does not exist for my league?
Answer: The system includes more than 600 prepackaged fantasy schedules to meet the most common league configurations of teams, divisions, conferences, and weeks. There are a few primary reasons why a pre-packaged schedule does not exist for your league:
1. Your league configuration has fewer than 4 or more than 16 teams per division. If this is the case for your league, you'll either need to change your league configuration or manually define your schedule.
2. Your league has an odd number of teams in it (or, an odd number of teams in each division/conference). If this is the case for your league, you might be able to look at our pre-packaged schedules, find a schedule that's close to yours in size (i.e., maybe a setup that has one more, or one fewer, franchise than yours), and use that packaged schedule as a basis for your setup, and then replace one team with a bye team (or average score).
3. Your league requires a specific schedule (ie, play each divisional opponent x times and other teams y times). In this case, the system will most likely offer you several alternatives that are close, and allow you to manually tweak it via the various "For Commissioners > Setup > Fantasy Schedule Setup" tools.
However, if you require a specific schedule not listed, you will have to do some level of manual work to make the schedule. While we do offer a general schedule that should meet the needs of most leagues, with all the permutations of franchises, weeks, divisions, and conferences, there are probably millions of different schedules that could be created.
Note that the site does offer tools to help create custom schedules, including:
a. The Weekly Schedule Setup screen will allow you to manually define/edit matchups.
b. The Switch Schedule Weeks screen will allow you to swap two specific weeks of an existing schedule.
c. The Randomize Fantasy Schedule screen will randomly rearrange the weeks of an existing schedule.
d. The Rearrange Franchises in Fantasy Schedule screen will change only the franchises - leaving the base schedule in tact. This last option is ideal for leagues that keep a schedule, but change the franchises based on the previous year's standings.
e. In addition, the FFLM program can be used for even greater customization and the results exported to your league. Please email FFLM support for assistance.

| 3. | Our schedule is not right and the season has already started - how do I fix this?
Answer: This will occur if you have adjusted your Divisions/Conferences after you have chosen your Pre-packaged Schedule and did not read the hint at the bottom of the page regarding these changes and ignored the pop-up instructing you to re-select your schedule. You have two options to remedy this:
1. Pick a new Packaged Schedule. Then use the Weekly Schedule Setup to set your week 1 matchups to their original status. You will then need to adjust the remaining weeks as needed if you would like the proper setup of division/conference games based on your altered Week 1.
2. Just use the Weekly Schedule Setup to alter your remaining weeks to fit your desired schedule.

| 4. | Why don't I see the fantasy point spread on my week 1 fantasy schedule?

| 8. | How do I Setup a Total Points League?
Answer: A Total Points League does not use a schedule for games, but simply accumulates the Points For each week for each franchise. This option can be chosen in the For Commissioner > Setup > General League Setup:
Fantasy Schedule?: No, my league is a total points league only.
Then you will wish to add your Weekly Summary to your Home Page through the For Commissioner > For Commissioner > Setup > Home Page Modules & Tabs Setup . This will display your weekly point totals and Sort by the season long total points winner.

| 9. | Why can't I see or setup my fantasy schedule?
Answer: Your league is defined as an 'all-play' league where each franchise plays against every other franchise each week. If you prefer to only have specific matchup(s) for each team each week, go to For Commissioners > Setup > General League Setup to change the "Fantasy Schedule" setting to use 'one-head-to-head matchup per week'.

| 10. | How do I Play the League Average if our league has an odd number of teams?
Answer: If you choose one of the Packaged Schedules that we offer, then the odd team options are only to have the odd team on bye each week. However, after you select one of these schedules, go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Rearrange Franchises In Fantasy Schedule screen and "Replace all occurrences of" *BYE* "with" *AVERAGE*.
If you don't choose one of the sites Packaged Schedules, but instead manually create/edit the head-to-head matchups using the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup screen, just specify one team each week to have an opponent of "--- Average ---".
Note: In either case, you should not define an extra franchise for your league to take the place of the average as you would then need to manually specify the "average" points for this team each week.

| 11. | How do I Re-arrange/randomize my schedule each year?
Answer: You have several options to make this work.
1. Go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule then choose the For Commissioner > Setup > Rearrange Franchises In Fantasy Schedule to replace occurrences and thereby altering the matchups.
2. . Go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule and then go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup and manually adjust various weeks lineups.
Note that both of these two options will alter your Packaged Schedule Settings for Divisional/Conference play.
3. Go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Division/Conference Setup and adjust the divisions for your teams. Then go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule and it will re-define with your new division/conference settings.
Alternately, if you have kept the same divisions and conferences for your league and wish to simply have your matchups on different weeks than previous years you can choose to For Commissioner > Setup > Randomize Fantasy Schedule. This will adjust the weeks in which your teams play, but keep with the same Pre-packaged schedule option that was chosen.

| 12. | How do I Change when my double header week is played?
Answer: To create this type of schedule you have two options:
1. Select a Packaged Schedule that contains doubleheaders. Then use the For Commissioner > Setup > Switch Schedule Weeks to arrange the double header weeks to fit your league.
2. If the Packaged Schedule in which you desire does not fit with how you like your double headers played then choose a single game a week schedule. Then go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup and choose the week in which you would now like to create a double header. Increase the number of games played in that week and click the "Now!" button. This will double the amount of games you have so that you can use the drop down boxes to assign your matchups.
