Protip: Using Bracket View During Your Fantasy Draft

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

We've recently added support for a Bracket View page for College Basketball Tournament leagues.  The page can be found under your league's Players sub-menu and can be a useful tool to consult during your drafts. This page shows the number of players drafted on a given team.  More importantly, you can consult it to ensure that you don't draft players from different teams that might be too closely grouped in a given region.  For example, if you pick players from a #4 seed (such as Villanova) and also a #5 seed (such as Purdue) and they are in the same region, you're going to lose players if those two teams meet in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament.

So before you enter your draft, open up a browser tab specifically for Bracket View and refresh it as you're making your picks, you'll put yourself in the best position to win your tournament fantasy league.

2020-21 Playoff Fantasy Football Changes

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

The NFL postseason has been expanded to a 14-team field and therefore the player pool will be larger by 2 teams.  Six wildcard teams will play during Wildcard weekend.

Second, we've transitioned to the official NFL real-time stats feed via SportRadar.  As a part of this change, we've had to remove a handful of niche scoring categories.  

The following scoring categories are no longer supported:

  • QB Pick Six
  • 40-Yard, 50-Yard Rushes/Receptions/Passes
  • Rushes/Receptions/Passes for First Downs

Of course, commissioners can make manual scoring adjustments if needed.

League Pricing

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

For the first time since 2016 we will be increasing our league pricing costs.  Premium leagues will be increasing from $19.99 to $24.99, and premium pool leagues will be increasing from $29.99 to $39.99.  We do our utmost to manage our expenses very carefully, but there are some items that recognize annual price increases that are completely out of our control. 

On a positive note, with premium pool leagues we have decided to reduce our costs for our very large leagues; upgrades over 200 users will now be $25 per additional 100 users (as opposed to each additional 50 users).  We will also be investing in a switch to a new email service provider to help improve our relays.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we implement these changes.  We sincerely appreciate each and every one of our users, and thank you for making us your fantasy home for the playoffs since 2008.

2019 College Basketball Tournament Fantasy Leagues

Share Email Addresses

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

Over the years, we've received a number of requests from commissioners to be able to view email addresses from users in their leagues.  Due to our privacy policy, we've avoided providing direct access - however, we did create custom league pages where new users were warned that joining that league would expose their email address to the commissioner (and they could choose to either join the league or not).

To simplify the process, we've added a new league setting called 'Require Managers To Share Email Addresses' that commissioners can set to 'Yes' when they create their league.  Once set, potential league members will be prompted with the following warning:  'The commissioner for this league requires that they can see the email address associated with each league member. Please confirm that you still want to join this league?'.  At that time, users can choose to 'Join' or 'Leave' the league.

Salary Cap Improvements

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

Following a number of user requests, we've enhanced our salary cap add/drop process by adding a shadow interface where players can be added and dropped without impacting moves.  As changes are made, a running total of 'Pending Moves' (player adds) is shown, along with a warning that pending changes must be saved.  Once player changes are made that fit under the salary cap and contain your desired players, select the 'Save' button - only then will new player additions count against your total number of moves.  If you wish to cancel all player changes, select the 'Discard' button (no moves will be counted).

Please note the following:
- This change will only be made available for salary cap leagues that limit the number of free agent moves and allow unlimited player selection.
- This change will be made active starting with the college basketball tournament in March.

Fantasy Postseason turns 10!

     Fantasy Postseason Staff

“There are no sites out there that support short term or playoff rotos - so I was thinking, why not create our own?” – and with that simple email in March 2008, the initial concept of what would become Fantasy Postseason was born. 

We were just a few guys who had been friends for years, loved sports, and loved fantasy sports.  Unfortunately for us, there were no fantasy sites out there that did anything for the postseason (our favorite time of year to play it).  To make things worse, the time and effort involved to track everything manually was growing exponentially by the year, and was putting one of our favorite pastimes in serious jeopardy.  In lieu of scrapping it forever, we decided at that critical moment to automate it, and wound up creating a site of our own. 

The months that followed were intense, but by September 2008, FantasyPostseason.com was somehow up and running, and ready to roll for the MLB Playoffs.  Our first users...

  • Draft Room Enhancements: We've redesigned visual aspects of the draft room and have also added a number of minor features including Auto Pick support, and a Draft Board.
  • Team QBs: We've included the option to add Team QBs to your NFL postseason fantasy football player pool, instead of having individual QBs. 
  • NFL Start Once Usability: We've made it easier to identify players to start in the Start Once format by hiding players that are on bye...
