End, 1 Place Kicker, and 3 Team Defense/Special Teams. Your

registration or trade, as the case may be. Players may not
be listed with their current team due to release,

guarantee that those players or teams will participate in
playoff games.
The following system of
selecting players is used for selecting your original team
roster AND for trading players. Players may be selected
through the Internet site free of charge, 24 hours a day. A
player selection/trade is defined as dropping one player
from your team and adding another player. A player MUST be
exchanged for another player at the SAME position (e.g., a
quarterback for a quarterback, etc.) and within the SAME
group. Player selections will end and your roster will be
frozen for the duration of the postseason one hour prior to the first game's kickoff,
January 7, 2012. To ensure you have the correct roster
in place, when you have completed your selections, you MUST
click on the "Activate Player Selections" button at the
bottom of the trading page. If you exit without activating
player selections, none of the trades will be accepted. All
approved trades are final.
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 Monday, January 9, 2012. Points are
awarded based on the HeySportsFans Playoff Fantasy Football
