Fantasy sports are fantastic! The drafting of players is fun, the team management is fun, and the trash talk that results from beating your buddies is fun. For a sports fanatic, it’s almost too good to be true. However, when the regular season ends there’s often a major void in the life of the fantasy owner, as they patiently wait for the next sport season to start.

At Fantasy Postseason, we fill the void that exists between the seasons with more fantasy competition. We run short games that involve selecting players from playoff or postseason teams. The time commitment is low as the postseason for most sports is only a few weeks. As players advance, a manager accumulates more points; the manager with the most points at the end wins.

It’s a very simple concept that a few of us have been doing for years. Draft the best players, and simply root them on throughout the postseason. The winner usually is the one who picked the best players on the teams that advanced...

In an 'Auto-Draft', our system automatically selects players for each manager. These selections are vital in many ways, as they will also become your default picks in a 'Live' draft (should you either fail to appear, or fail to make a selection in time).


• Will your league be conducting a Snake Draft or a...

This site is a labor of love by our members; all of whom are die-hard sports fans. We've been involved in fantasy sports for years, especially during the postseason (our favorite time of year). We started with sticky notes in the 80s, and then progressed to more and more advanced spreadsheets throughout the 90s and 00s.

Unfortunately, no matter how advanced those spreadsheets became, the task was still extremely daunting (manually pulling down all the player stats, normalizing them, conducting drafts, tracking results, etc). The task was made all the more difficult by the short time we all had to act; for the baseball playoffs, this window could be as short as two days!

This year we decided that the time had finally come to automate this entire process step by step. That's right, every player, every team, every stat, every category, every projection! It has all been automated at...
