Storm2k's Fantasy Football League... Sign up NOW!!!!!!

#1 Postby chadtm80 » Sun Aug 17, 2003 1:27 pm

Alright everyone the Storm2k League is now Officialy up and running!!!! You can sign up immediatly.. :-):-):-):-):-):-) The storm2k League is set up through sportingnews.com and is exclusivly for storm2k members, so we will all be playing against eachother only 8-)


About the game:

SportingNews.com's Basic Fantasy Football is a fun, free-to-enter, market-based fantasy football game. The object of the game is to score the most Sporting News Points (TSNP) with your team of football players over the course of the 2003 pro football season. Football players are assigned an opening salary and earn TSNP according to how they perform in real-life games.

You'll assemble and manage a roster of 7 players within the limits of your salary cap of 35,000,000 Sporting News Dollars (TSND). Once the season starts, players' salaries will fluctuate based on a stock-market style system of supply and demand, with those players in greater demand increasing their salary during the course of the season.


To sign up go here http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/cr ... ister.html
Fill out all the info (feel free to give a fake street address.. No need for them to have your real one) also remeber to select no on the offers at the bottom of the page, unless you are interested in them.. Try to use your same username as you use here, that way we all know who is who.. Then hit Submit.. That will then take you to another page. On the left side of the page you will see Play Basic Fantasy Football! Click on that.. Another page will come up and it will ask you to name your team.. Fill in that box, and hit submit.. On the next page scroll to the middle, where it says OR... Join an Existing League and type in s2k and click next... Then on the next page click s2k Should be your only option.. The storm2k Roster will then appear and you will need to click "Yes" to join the league..

Then your in!!! :D :D You can start building your team....


To assemble your winning team, you click on "buy and sell players." You can research which players you wish to buy by using there tools to sort by a variety of statistics or to sort by position.

Your roster must consist of 7 players, consisting of 2 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Team D. With $35,000,000 to start out, and many players to choose from, it takes some strategizing to pick the best bang for your buck at each position.


Trading Players:
In Basic Fantasy Football, a trade simply means when you sell a player from your team. If you're not happy with your player's performance, or if his value is dropping, or if your player is on a bye week, and you have enough trades to do it, you probably want to sell that player and pick up a new one. And selling a player is quite simple in this game! You just need to click on a player's price to sell them from your team.

To search for a player to buy, use the player sort options located below your roster on Your Team page. You can sort by a variety of stats, or by last name. When you've found the player you want, click on the position at which you want to buy him. Be sure you currently have room for him on your roster at that position; if you don't, the transaction will fail.

You get 15 trades to start the season in Basic Football. If you'd like, you can purchase more for $1 or less per trade!


Alright everyone get SIGNED UP!!!!! I know it seems like a lot, but its realy not... You will get the hang of it.. Contact me via, PM, aim, msn, or email, or just leave a post here for any help... The more that sign up, the more fun we will have... We will have to come up with some kind of prizes, but they will have to be announced later!!!

I am heading over to sign up right now. I have a quick question... is their price based on how well they play "in real life"?

Thanks! Sounds like fun. :)

The Initial Price of players is based on "real life" then trades and purchases depend on there value... Explanation below..
also pay attention to the second paragraph.. For this is how you will be successful in this game :wink:


The Basic Fantasy Football Player Price Market is a unique feature whereby players' salaries go up and down every week based on YOUR trade activity, much like the stock market. It's one of the coolest features of this game. The more times a player is bought, the more his price goes up. The more times he is sold, the more his price drops.

In order to take advantage of the moving market and increase your wealth, you'll have to anticipate the demand for specific players and buy them before their prices skyrocket. Be aware of players who aren't playing well (or at all); their prices are due to plummet.

I'm a die-hard Florida Gators fan, but they're college, not NFL. I tried to put Texans and Rams (since I was born in S.L.) helmets on my siggie, but it doesn't seem to work.

Or does it? All I see are those stupid boxes with red X's.
