You receive scoring for all players in your active lineup, including the Utility position, regardless of where they appear in actual NBA games. Once earned, fantasy points and scoring are not removed even if the player is moved to the bench, waived, or traded to another team.\n\nBench players will not receive stats that count in your score. The purpose of the bench is to allow roster flexibility when players are injured, not scheduled to play, or are performing poorly. We keep track of their stats, which you can find located on your team page.\n\nYour head-to-head match-up screen always displays the current lineup for both teams. Stats can be displayed for bench players if they were active earlier in the week and later moved to a bench position. Since the stats were accumulated when the player was active, they are added to the match-up totals.\n\nPlayers picked up from free agency/trades/waivers only count in your stats going forward from the time you add them to your roster. You do not inherit those points and stats that the player earned while a member of another team.\n-nny

Only in the first round is possible for a match to end in a tie,  that's because the round is pay with the league system, each team playing one match against each of the other teams in the same group, with three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat.\nFrom the round of sixteen, quarterfinals, semifinals, play-off for third place and final will all be played in accordance with the knock-out system: there will always be a winner: that means if after the regular time we have no winner, then the teams will play extra time, if the teams are still level, then the winner will be determine by penalty kicks.\n\nBack to the first round:\nThe rules for the ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:\na) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;\nb) goal difference in all group matches;\nc) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.\nIf two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria,their rankings will be determined as follows:\nd) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;\ne) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;\nf) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup\n\nAssuming that in a group every match ended in 0-0, then the luck will decide the winner and runner-up, there will be a draw of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup\n\nNo time to play all over again.

Each of the 8 groups have 4 teams. The 4 teams play each other once - 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss. After all the group matches are completed, the top 2 teams from each group move on to the knockout stages. Should there be a tie within a group between teams moving into the knockout stages, the following tie-breakers are used:\n\n1) Goal differential (goals scored minus goals allowed)\n2) Total goals scored\n3) Head-to-head result\n4) Drawing of lots (in essence, a random drawing - think coin-flip)\n\nOnce the top 2 teams from each group are set, pairings for the knockout stages are setup. Group A's top seed will face Group B's 2nd seed, and vice versa; Group C's top seed will face Group D's 2nd seed, vice versa, and so on.  Top seeds from Groups A, C, E, and G are on one side of the knockout bracket, with top seeds from Groups B, D, F, and H on the other side - this means it is possible for the top two teams from one group to face each other again in the World Cup Finals.

The lottery determines the order of the first 14 picks. Only teams that did not make the playoffs are eligible for the lottery. The chance that a team wins the lottery is determined by that teams record the previous season. Teams with the worst records, have a greater statistical chance of winning the lotter than those with better records. The remaining picks are determined by record as well.

Usually you split it into two divisions with four in each division. Each team plays the other seven teams once or twice (that's good for 7 or 14 weeks) then you start a playoffs. 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd in both divisions. Then you have a divisional final and then a championship final. You should have consolation rounds as well for the teams that lose out in the first round of the playoffs.

In a Fantasy Point League (available only to Custom Leagues), points are awarded based on how well your players perform in each of several statistical categories. All real-life statistics have associated point values, and each player's points are summed to produce your daily total. \nSo, if in your league, a home run is worth four points, a stolen base two and a RBI one, a player with two homers, three steals and 10 RBI would score 24 fantasy points [(2 HR * 4 points) + (3 SB * 2 points) + (10 RBI * 1 point) = 24]. \n\nFantasy points, which are only awarded to starting (active) players on your team, are tallied throughout the season. Each team with the highest total at the end of the year wins its league championship. \n\nFantasy point scoring is only available in Custom Leagues, and the commissioner must specify both the categories used and the point modifier values. If the commissioner does not specify a point modifier for a given category, no fantasy points will accrue in that category.\n\n\nIn a league using Rotisserie scoring, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Each fantasy team receives points in each category based on how they rank in the league. Each team's category points are totaled to determined their overall rotisserie score. \nThe maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category. \n\nIf you are in a 12-team league, the team with the most home runs will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in homers, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5]. \n\nSo, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144].

I believe sportsline.com will allow divisions (which then takes care of matching up games.) If you are doing it by hand, it's really hard unless you've done it before. I'm sure there is fantasy scheduling software out there.

the tie-breaking criteria is as follows:\n\n1-goal difference (goals in favor - goals against) overall\n2-goals in favor overall\n3-goals against overall\n4-result in game held between tied teams\n5-goal difference between tied teams\n6-goals in favor between tied teams\n7-coin toss\n\nas you can see it is very unlikely this could happen....

A Fantasy sport is a game where fantasy owners build a team that competes against other fantasy owners based on the statistics generated by individual players or teams of a professional sport. Probably the most common variant converts statistical performance into points generated by a fantasy team, and are typically simple enough to be manually calculated by a "league commissioner

The only feasible ways to do it are having the #4 and #5 team play in a preliminary round while #1, #2, and #3 all get byes.\n\nThen, #1 would face the winner of #4/5 and #2 would face #3 in the semifinals.\n\nOr, #2 would face #5 and #3 would face #4 in the first round, and the winners of #2/5 and #3/4 would face each other in the semifinals, all while #1 gets a bye straight through to the finals.\n\nThe first option is more equitable.
