Scoring
College Basketball Scoring (Defaults):
| Category | Default Value |
| Per Point | 1.0 |
| Per Rebound | 1.0 |
| Per Offensive Rebound | 0.0 |
| Per Defensive Rebound | 0.0 |
| Per Assist | 1.0 |
| Per Steal | 1.0 |
| Per Block | 1.0 |
| Per Turnover | -1.0 |
Bonus Scoring (Defaults):
| Category | Default Value |
| Per 3 PT | 0.0 |
| Double-Double | 3.0 |
| Triple-Double | 8.0 |
| 30+ Points | 5.0 |
| FG >= 50% (Min. 8 attempts) | 0.0 |
College Basketball Scoring (Total Points Example):
A league may choose to only track Points, Rebounds and Assists. Points are assigned a value of 0.5, Rebounds a value of 1.0 and Assists a
value of 1.0, while the bonus categories are all set to 0. The Per Round Multiplier is set as follows: First Four (0.0), Rd 2 (1.0), Rd 3 (1.0), Sweet 16 (1.0), Elite
8 (1.0), Final Four (1.0) and Finals (2.0). In the below example, player John Doe will accumulate a total of 203 fantasy points:
Player John Doe (F):
| Round | Points | Rebounds | Assists | Round Value |
| First Four | - | - | - | - |
| Round 2 | 30 | 10 | 5 | 30 |
| Round 3 | 20 | 15 | 10 | 35 |
| Sweet 16 | 40 | 8 | 5 | 33 |
| Elite 8 | 20 | 5 | 5 | 20 |
| Final 4 | 30 | 5 | 5 | 25 |
| Finals | 30 | 10 | 5 | 60 |
- Value by Round:
- First Four = 0 (0 * 1.0)
- Round 2 = 30 (30 * 1.0)
- Round 3 = 35 (35 * 1.0)
- Sweet 16 = 33 (33 * 1.0)
- Elite 8 = 20 (20 * 1.0)
- Final 4 = 25 (25 * 1.0)
- Finals = 60 (30 * 2.0)
- Overall Value:
- 203 = 30 + 35 + 33 + 20 + 25 + 60

Lineup Setting
Commissioners have a choice of two lineup setting options:
- Daily: Player roster status is locked (i.e. starter/bench) from their game's scheduled start time until 12 AM EST. If game scoring occurs after 12 AM EST, players
will remain locked until that time.
- Per Round: Player roster status is locked (i.e. starter/bench) from their game's scheduled start time until 12 AM EST after the last game in the round is scored.
If the last game is scored after 12 AM EST, players will remain locked until that time.
Important Note: If there are no bench slots and free agency is disabled, no lineup moves are allowed and this setting has no effect.
Waivers
Free agency can be configured with or without a waiver wire.
- Waiver Wire: If a waiver wire is enabled, players are held in a queue during a waiver period which can be configured in a number of ways:
Waiver Priority:
- Continual Rolling List: Waivers are processed based on waiver priority position, which defaults to the reverse of the draft order for live and auto-drafts,
and is randomly generated for offline drafts (however, commissioners have the ability to override the waiver order).
Those with successful claims continually get put at the bottom of the list.
- Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB): Managers have a budget of 100 pts to bid on free agents.
Important Note: If FAAB is used with 'All the Time' waivers, every free agent transaction will involve a bid.
If FAAB is used with 'Post Game' waivers, only those free agent transactions with players that are on waivers will involve a bid (otherwise players that are not locked can be acquired on demand).
Waiver Period:
- Post Game: Players are on waivers for only a limited period of time after games complete, otherwise they are unrestricted. The waiver period lasts from the time
players are unlocked until 11 AM EST the next morning. Unrestricted players include all players that are dropped, not selected during a draft, etc.
- All the Time: All free agents must pass waivers and there is no unrestricted period. All waiver claims are processed each day at 11 AM EST.
- No Waiver Wire: If a waiver wire is not configured, players that are not locked can be acquired on demand.
Winning the Game
Winning a Fantasy Postseason league is dependent upon the league format:
- Total Points: In a Total Points league, points are accumulated round by round. The manager with the most points at the end of the tournament wins the league.
In the very unlikely event that a league should end in a tie, each manager will get a share of the title.
- Head-to-Head: In a Head-to-Head league, points are accumulated over six game weeks. A manager wins a game week by scoring more points than their opponent during
that week. The manager that wins the title week, or has the best record at the end of the tournament wins the league. Total points serve as tie-breaker - in the
very unlikely event a league remains dead-locked, each manager will get a share of the title.
