| 1. | Why does everyone in my league already have a win or a loss even though the week is not over?
Answer: The For Commissioners > Setup > Standings Setup page has an option on it titled "Update Standings On League Standings Report (and Franchise Scores): As Soon As Preliminary (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) Results Are Available" - you currently have that checkbox checked. If you'd like to not have standings updated as soon as preliminary games are over, you may un-check that checkbox.
However, un-checking that checkbox after week 1 preliminary results are in will not revert standings back to zeros for week 1, so if this has happened to you for week 1, you'll have to hold tight until week 1 results are finalized to see the finalize standings and scores for your league.
Note that in any case, these wins and losses are considered preliminary wins and losses, and will be updated later in the week to reflect final results.

| 2. | How do I Update my Standings as soon as the early games (Thursday and Sunday) are done?
Answer: To see the preliminary results in your standings you will need to go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Standings Setup screen and check the box to "Update Standings On League Standings Report (and Franchise Scores): As Soon As Preliminary (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) Results Are Available." Note that these games will then update again once final results are complete.
Also, changing this option after preliminary results are issued will not impact the current week, only future weeks. To see these results for the currently underway week, doing a "For Commissioners > Recalculate Standings" will bring your scores and standings up-to-date.

| 3. | Why are my league standing not properly sorted?
Answer: This is typically caused by one of the following:
1. You've defined a Custom Standings Order for your league. Please go to the Custom Standings Order screen and click on the link to remove the custom sort.
2. Your standings sort criteria are not properly defined in the Standings Setup screen.
3. You have the "Head to Head Record" sort criterion defined too high in your priority list.
The H2H Record sort criterion compares two individual teams at a time. In a four team league, A-D, there would be six H2H Record matchups: AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, and CD. Unfortunately this tie-breaker is less useful when there are three or more teams tied. If teams A, B, & C are all tied and during the season A beat B who beat C who beat A, then they all have a 1-0 record with 'the group', but certainly not with each other specific team. As the season progresses, this is a rather unlikely, but possible, occurrence.
To correct this sorting problem, a league can either move the H2H Record sort to a lower sort criteria (for leagues that have this defined as #2 through #4 - no league should ever use H2H Record as the #1 criteria) or you can use the Standings Adjuster to manually define a sort order for the current week. If you do manually change the sort order, be sure to remember to clear this out one the following weeks games have been calculated.

| 4. | Why are there a lot of extra Wins/Losses on my Standings Report and its just the start of the season?
Answer: This most likely has to do with your settings on the For Commissioner > Setup > General League Setup Screen being set to have an All Play League. This would have every team play every other team each week.
You will need to change this back to a H2H league if you wish for single game matchups each week. Then if you have not done so you will need to select a packaged schedule for your league.
Once this is complete, you will need to go to the For Commissioners > Recalculate Standings and do so for each week Starting with Week 1 and in order up until the current week.

| 6. | How do I Create a Custom Column on the Standings Report?
Answer: To create a custom column go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Standings Setup and define a name for a Custom Column. You will then need to go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Standings Column Setup to add this to your Current List of Columns to appear on your Standings Report.
All Custom Columns must be manually tracked and can be done through the For Commissioner > Setup > Adjust Scores and Standings > {Custom Name} Adjuster.

| 9. | How do I Setup Victory Points for my League?
Answer: Victory Points are optional points used primarily to minimize the luck factor in fantasy football.
Victory Points for your league can be defined in the For Commissioner > Setup > Victory Points Setup. Here you can award VPs based on Wins or on Points for your league.
The first option is for wins, ties and losses for each franchise. Generally each fantasy win is worth 2 VPs, tie worth 1 VP, and lost worth 0 VPs
There is also an option to award VP's based on overall fantasy scores each week. These VP's by default will be in a 3 Bucket system where the top, middle, and bottom third are also (by default) awarded 2, 1, and 0 VPs. Commissioners can, however, use this screen to change the value of victory points for your league or choose to award the Top and Bottom Half overall fantasy scores each week by changing the "Number of Buckets for Victory Point Weekly Total" to 2. Then you can define the points awarded for the top scoring half and the bottom half.
NOTE: In the case of a tie crossing a tier boundary, the two tied teams both receive the higher point value.

| 10. | Why is a team listed with a 7-2-2 record above (or below) a team with an 8-3 record?
Answer: Since a tie is equal to half of a win and a half of a loss, the 7-2-2 record is exactly the same as an 8-3 record - both are an overall winning percentage of 0.727.

| 11. | How are Victory Points broken out for my League?
Answer: When the number of teams is not evenly divisible by three, the middle tier will have the greatest number of teams and the top and bottom tiers will be evenly distributed. Use this table to see how victory points tiers are defined for some of the more common sizes of leagues.

| 12. | How do I use the [Custom Column n] Standings Adjuster page?
Answer:
This screen controls adjustments to the a commissioner-defined custom standing column for the Standings
report.
NOTE: This screen will only appear if a custom column was previously defined.
Create New Custom Adjustments. Use this table to define any new adjustments to the Custom column (as defined in the Standings Setup screen) for your standings for any fantasy team & week as follows:
| 1. | Select the row that corresponds to the fantasy team in which the adjustment needs to be made. |
| 2. | Enter a numerical point value of the adjustment (enter a "-" sign if a negative point value adjustment is desired) in the Custom column. |
| 3. | Select the week of the season in which the adjustment it to be applied. |
| 4. | Enter a textual description in the Explanation column to aid in understanding the reason for the adjustment. |
| 5. | Repeat this process for each team as necessary. |
| 6. | Click on the "Adjust Custom" button. |
Delete Standings Adjustments. Use this table if you've previously defined a custom standings adjustment that you now need to remove. Note that this table will appear empty until you have defined a standings adjustment. You can also use this table to view the current standings adjustments for your league. To remove a standings adjustment:
| 1. | Check the box(es) corresponding the adjustment you want to remove. |
| 2. | Click on the "Delete Custom Adjustments Records" button. |
If you remove an adjustment accidentally, you will have to use the Create New Standings Adjustments table to redefine the original adjustment.

| 13. | How do I use the Power Rank page?
Answer: This report (sorted by the power rank) contains the following information for each franchise:
| • | PF - Points For, total points scored year-to-date. |
| • | PP - Potential Points, total points a franchise could have scored if it had started a perfect lineup each week. |
| • | Eff - Efficiency rating, or PF divided by PP, expressed as a percentage. |
| • | Bench Points - Total points scored by all bench players. |
| • | Max PF - Maximum points scored in one week. |
| • | Min PF - Minimum points scored in one week. |
| • | Coulda Won - For each week of the season, compare your "potential points" versus your opponents actual points - you will get one in this column for each game that you could have won a by starting a better lineup. In other words, if you had started your best lineup each week, this is the number of extra wins you could have received throughout the season. |
| • | Woulda Lost - For each week of the season, compare your actual points versus your opponents "potential points" - you will get one in this column for each game that you would have lost if your opponent had started a better lineup. In other words, if your opponent had started his best lineup each week, this is the number of extra losses you would have received throughout the season. |
| • | All-play Record - The number of wins, losses, and ties the franchise would have if it played all teams each week of the season. |
| • | Power Rank - A formula designed to give an alternate view of the 'best' franchise in the league. This number is arrived at like this: |
points_per_week_per_starter = A
points_per_week_per_nonstarter = B
all_play_wins_per_week = C
actual_wins = D
division_wins = E
Power Rank = A+B+C+D+E
Power Rank As Of Week - Click on any of the links for previous week in the season to view this report for any past week.
Sort By - Use the default Power Ranking score for each franchise as the sort criterion for this report or switch to one of the optional "All Play-Record", "Coulda Won", or "Woulda Lost" columns for alternately sorted report views.
NOTE: This report data can be optionally broken out by conference or division for deluxe
leagues or reported across the entire league.

| 14. | How do I use the Recalculate Standings page?
Answer: This menu option should not typically be used as the system is highly automated. However, any time a commissioner changes a starting lineup after the site has computed scores, this option must be run. In addition, you can use this screen to revert scores back to a previous week. If you do this, you'll most likely need to then use it again for all subsequent weeks through the present time to restore the entire YTD data.
In order to use this option, simply select a week by number from the pull-down list box. Only weeks that have been completed (and had the final calculation run) will appear in this list.

| 15. | How do I use the Custom Standings Order page?
Answer: For the vast majority of leagues, the site's existing standings sort criteria (available on the Standings Setup screen) will automatically sort your league's standings as needed so this screen will not be necessary. However, for leagues that do need to adjust the standings manually to support a custom sort order, use this list of franchise names to override any current standings order specified on Standings Setup screen for the order used on the Standings Report.
NOTE: A defined custom sort order will remain in effect until it is manually deleted (from this same screen using the Delete Custom Standings Order link). If you use this custom order for one week, be certain to remove (or update) it for the subsequent week as needed.
When finished, you MUST click on the Save Custom Standings Order button in order to apply your changes.
