Full Season Hi-Lo Fantasy Football runs Sept. 11, 2005 through Jan. 1, 2006 (Weeks 1 - 17 of the NFL regular season). Entries will be accepted from July 15, 2005 to 11:30 AM ET, Sept. 11, 2005. No refunds will be issued after Sept. 10, 2005 and all purchases are final after this date.

All dates and times are subject to change. HeySportsFans takes no responsibility for misdirected entries or for entries that are lost, damaged or corrupted in the web transmission. HeySportsFans reserves the right to disqualify any entry that has been incorrectly completed or contains invalid or incorrect information.


Rosters

Your roster must consist of a total of two (2) teams as listed in the HeySportsFans Hi-Lo Fantasy Football list of teams at the time of registration or trade, as the case may be. NFL teams on a bye week will be unavailable for selection.


Team Selection

The following system of selecting teams is used for selecting your original roster AND for trading teams. Teams may be selected through the Internet site free of charge, 24 hours a day except during the trading blackout period thirty (30) minutes prior to the start of the earliest game of the current week and during weekly maintenance of the Internet site. A team selection/trade is defined as dropping one team from your roster and adding another team. A team MUST be exchanged for another team within the SAME group. To ensure you have the correct roster in place, when you have completed your selections, you MUST click on the "Activate Team Selections" button at the bottom of the trading page. If you exit without activating team selections, none of the trades will be accepted. All approved trades are final. Teams will be cleared of selections after each trade deadline. New selections for all roster positions must be made each week to be eligible for prizes.


Contest Periods and Trading Deadlines

Contest periods run Tuesday through Monday and each contest period is scored separately. Team selections will end and your roster will be frozen thirty (30) minutes prior to scheduled kickoff of the earliest game of the current contest period. The one exception is Week 1 of the NFL season - the trade deadline is thirty (30) minutes prior to scheduled kickoff of the earliest Sunday game of the first week of the season. Team selections made after the trading deadline will not take effect until the next contest period.


Scoring

Team scores will be available through the Internet site the day after the final game of each week is played. Your weekly ranking will be available beginning Tuesday, September 13, 2005. Points are awarded based on the HeySportsFans Hi-Lo Fantasy Football scoring system.

Hi Team and Lo Team: Total points scored per game.

Net Score: Hi Team score minus Lo Team score. For example, if Green Bay is your "Hi" team and they score 40 points and Detroit is your "Lo" team and they score 10 points, then 40 - 10 = 30 net points. This is your final score for the week.

Contest weeks run Tuesday to Monday and each contest week is scored separately. Scoring is based only on the games actually played each week. If for any reason, a team's game is postponed (due to weather, etc.) you will receive points for that game only if you have the team on your roster the day the game is officially completed. You only have until the end of a contest week to dispute any score for the previous week. Scores will not be changed for previous contest weeks and the scores posted by HeySportsFans for a particular contest week will be final once the following contest week is over. Statistics for games that are postponed will be counted in the weeks when the games are actually played.
