3: Pick the contest you would like to join. I'm going choose the first football contest.

After clicking on the above contests you will be taken to the following page.

You must check the 2 boxes that are circled above if you want to play in this contest. A look to the left will show you all the info for the contest.  After checking both boxes and pressing register you will see the following screen.

This is where you pick your players.  You pick a quarterback, 3 wide receivers, 2 running backs, tight end, kicker, and a defense. Each player has a point value assigned to them based on their past performance. Brady is the most expensive with 300 points since he gets tons of fantasy points every week.  When picking your players you must stay under your ranking cap. In this example you have 1,000 points to work with. Only the top 12 players will initially show for each position. Click the (Show All Players) tab under the position name to see all the players. As you go down the list they will get cheaper and cheaper. The following screen shows what happens if you click (Show All Players)

As you can see you can now buy a cheaper quarterback. The list keeps going on and on. Next you will pick 3 wide receivers.

You will continue to pick players for each position. Remember you can not go over your ranking cap. Some contests have no cap but in this example there is a 1,000 point cap. Below is the team I picked. I hit the ranking cap perfectly.  You do don't have to spend the full cap. You can be below it.

As you can see I have a mix of really good players and not so great players.  Having a ranking cap adds a lot more skill to the contests then just picking the best player at every position. You want to try to find undervalued players that will get you lots of points. When I have my team ready to go I click the (Play) button and my team will be made. You will then see the below screen.

You see my team roster and the other owners in the contest so far. The contest will get filled up as it gets closer to the weekend. I filled this out on a Monday so theres tons of time before the games start. When you go back to the main page you will see all the contests you are in.

If you click on (view) anytime before the date listed you can go in an edit your team. As you do more analysis during the week you can go back and change your players around.

The process is very simple and self explanatory once you start it. Here are some common misunderstadings:

-There is no draft you just pick the team you want.
-This means other owners can have the same players as you.
-It is possible, but highly unlikely that 2 owners will have the exact same team since there are thousands of combinations of players for you to choose from.
