| 1. | What can I do if a specific fantasy schedule does not exist for my league?
Answer: The system includes more than 699 prepackaged fantasy schedules to meet the most common league configurations of teams, divisions, conferences, and weeks. There are a few primary reasons why a pre-packaged schedule does not exist for your league:
1. Your league configuration has fewer than 4 or more than 20 teams per division. If this is the case for your league, you'll either need to change your league configuration or manually define your schedule.
2. Your league has an odd number of teams in it (or, an odd number of teams in each division/conference). If this is the case for your league, you might be able to look at our pre-packaged schedules, find a schedule that's close to yours in size (i.e., maybe a setup that has one more, or one fewer, franchise than yours), and use that packaged schedule as a basis for your setup, and then replace one team with a bye team (or average score).
3. Your league requires a specific schedule (ie, play each divisional opponent x times and other teams y times). In this case, the system will most likely offer you several alternatives that are close, and allow you to manually tweak it via the various "For Commissioners > Setup > Fantasy Schedule Setup" tools.
However, if you require a specific schedule not listed, you will have to do some level of manual work to make the schedule. While we do offer a general schedule that should meet the needs of most leagues, with all the permutations of franchises, weeks, divisions, and conferences, there are probably millions of different schedules that could be created.
Note that the site does offer tools to help create custom schedules, including:

| 2. | How do I add extra games to my schedule?
Answer: If you wish to add additional games to your schedule (say 3 games per week) you can do so by going to the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup and increasing the number of games in a week and pressing the “Now” button. Then you can use the drop down boxes to schedule these additional matchups.

| 3. | How do I remove extra games from my Fantasy Schedule?
Answer: To remove H2H matchups:
- Go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup.
- Here you can choose the week that you wish to edit by clicking on the links at the top of the screen.
- From the drop down boxes, set each of the matchups to be "bye" vs "bye"
- Save the new schedule.
Do this for each week that you wish to remove.
NOTE: if you are removing Double Header games you will increase the total number of matchups at the bottom of the screen and press the "Now" button to see all matchups for a given week.

| 4. | How do I Have both H2H and Total Points for my league?
Answer: To create both a H2H league and Total Points league you will set the league to be a Head to Head Style League.
- In the For Commissioner > Setup > General League Setup define the league to be H2H competition.
- Choose a Schedule in the Setup > Select a Packaged Schedule or define a customized schedule through the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup.
- In the For Commissioner > For Commissioner > Setup > Home Page Modules & Tabs Setup add both the Standings Report and the Weekly Summary to your Home Page. The standings will show your Wins/Losses (and optionally your Points For category) and the Weekly Summary will display your weekly points total as well as the cumulative points.

| 5. | How do I Re-arrange/randomize my schedule each year?
Answer: You have several options to make this work.
1. Go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule then choose the For Commissioner > Setup > Rearrange Franchises In Fantasy Schedule to replace occurrences and thereby altering the matchups.
2. . Go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule and then go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup and manually adjust various weeks lineups.
Note that both of these two options will alter your Packaged Schedule Settings for Divisional/Conference play.
3. Go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Division/Conference Setup and adjust the divisions for your teams. Then go to your For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule and it will re-define with your new division/conference settings.
Alternately, if you have kept the same divisions and conferences for your league and wish to simply have your matchups on different weeks than previous years you can choose to For Commissioner > Setup > Randomize Fantasy Schedule. This will adjust the weeks in which your teams play, but keep with the same Pre-packaged schedule option that was chosen.

| 6. | How do I Set it up to have every other team play each other every week (All Play League)?

| 7. | How do I Change when my double header or divisional matchup week is played?
Answer: You will want to go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Switch Schedule Weeks to arrange the double header weeks or divisional weeks to alternate weeks.
Most leagues use this feature to avoid DH games or divisional games to fall during NFL Bye Weeks, which are weeks 5-9 and week 11.

| 8. | How do I set up a double header league?
Answer: 1. Go to the For Commissioner > Setup > General League Setup screen and choose Yes, doubleheaders each week. Then go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule and define a schedule for your league.
2. If the Packaged Schedule in which you desire does not fit with how you like your double headers played then choose a single game a week schedule. Then go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup and choose the week in which you would now like to create a double header. Increase the number of games played in that week and click the "Now!" button. This will double the amount of games you have so that you can use the drop down boxes to assign your matchups.

| 9. | How do I set up a total points league?
Answer: A Total Points League does not use a schedule for games, but simply accumulates the Points For each week for each franchise. This option can be chosen in the For Commissioner > Setup > General League Setup:
Fantasy Schedule?: No, my league is a total points league only.
Then you will wish to add your Weekly Summary to your Home Page through the For Commissioner > For Commissioner > Setup > Home Page Modules & Tabs Setup . This will display your weekly point totals and Sort by the season long total points winner.

| 10. | Why can't I see or set up my fantasy schedule?
Answer: Your league is defined as an 'all-play' league where each franchise plays against every other franchise each week. If you prefer to only have specific matchup(s) for each team each week, go to For Commissioners > Setup > General League Setup to change the "Fantasy Schedule" setting to use 'one-head-to-head matchup per week'.

| 11. | How do I Play the League Average if our league has an odd number of teams?
Answer: If you choose one of the Packaged Schedules that we offer, then the odd team options are only to have the odd team on bye each week. However, after you select one of these schedules, go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Rearrange Franchises In Fantasy Schedule screen and "Replace all occurrences of" *BYE* "with" *AVERAGE*.
If you don't choose one of the sites Packaged Schedules, but instead manually create/edit the head-to-head matchups using the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup screen, just specify one team each week to have an opponent of "--- Average ---".
Note: In either case, you should not define an extra franchise for your league to take the place of the average as you would then need to manually specify the "average" points for this team each week.

| 12. | Our schedule is not right and the season has already started - how do I fix this?
Answer: This will occur if you have adjusted your Divisions/Conferences after you have chosen your Pre-packaged Schedule and did not read the hint at the bottom of the page regarding these changes and ignored the pop-up instructing you to re-select your schedule. It can also occur if you used any of the other options to adjust the franchises/matchups without verifying the final schedule. You have two options to remedy this:
1. Pick a new Packaged Schedule. Then use the Weekly Schedule Setup to set your week 1-N matchups to their original status. You will then need to adjust the remaining weeks as needed if you would like the proper setup of division/conference games based on your altered Week(s) 1-N.
2. Just use the Weekly Schedule Setup to alter your remaining weeks to fit your desired schedule.

| 13. | How do I Play week 17 as an All Play?
Answer: If you do not wish to have week 17 appear on your League Standings Report for the Wins/Losses, but prefer to keep your Standings in tact for the season you will simply have your owners submit lineups for week 17. The points will accumulate and after the weeks results are in you can use the Weekly Summaryto determine the wins/losses for each owner.

| 14. | How do I use the Import Fantasy Schedule page?
Answer: This page is for advanced customers only. It allows you to completely overwrite your existing fantasy schedule with a "raw" text schedule, which hopefully you're pasting into this page from another source, like an Excel speadsheet, another fantasy schedule site, etc.
The format of the data to paste into this page is:
Column 1: Week number. The week can be a single number, or a zero-left-padded number (i.e. 1 or 01).
Column 2: Away Team Franchise ID. This is the MyFantasyLeague.com franchise number, and can be a single number, or a zero-left-padded number (i.e., 2 or 0002).
Column 3: Home Team Franchise ID. This is the MyFantasyLeague.com franchise number, and can be a single number, or a zero-left-padded number (i.e., 2 or 0002).
The separator between columns can be a comma or a space.
Saving the results of this page will completely overwrite your existing fantasy schedule - be sure you understand that before pressing the "Save Schedule" button.

| 15. | How do I use the Weekly Schedule Setup page?
Answer: This option is only available if your league has defined a head-to-head schedule in General League Setup.
Specify a weekly schedule for your league one week at a time. Change the weekly pull-down list to the appropriate week and manually determine your matchups, one game at a time. While this option is more time consuming that the above, it gives you the greatest amount of control over your schedule.
Double-headers. If you've chosen to support doubleheaders for any/all of your season's games in General League Setup
, then you'll probably want to change the option on this screen to increase the number of games for any/all doubleheader weeks. Once you've changed the number of games for the currently displayed week, select the Specify New Number of Games button to apply. The screen will refresh with the new set of matchups.
Bye Week. Choose this item from any pull-down box to define a bye week for the team selected in the adjacent pull-down. This may only be necessary if your league has an odd number of teams and does not prefer to play the league Average (see below).
Average. This option can be selected as an alternative to the bye week so every team plays each week. When scheduled against the Average, the team defined in the adjacent pull-down box, will play against the average points for all teams in the league (including the league average opponent).
NOTE: Once a schedule has been defined, you can change the weekly pull-down list to select any week in your season. This will pre-populate the current matchups for that week.
Go To Week - Click on any of the weekly links to immediately switch to a specific week in the season.
Delete A Week - For weeks in which a schedule has already been defined, the commissioner can click on the checkbox to "...completely delete..." the schedule for a given week.
When finished, you MUST click on the Save Matchups button in order to apply your changes.

| 16. | How do I use the Select A Packaged Schedule page?
Answer: This options is only available if your league has defined a head-to-head schedule in General League Setup.
Choose from the list of pre-defined fantasy schedules based on your league parameters. We currently have more than 600 pre-defined schedules for various configurations of teams, divisions, conferences, and weeks. Simply select the desired schedule and click on the Choose Schedule button to apply.
NOTE: If this option is selected once a schedule has already been defined, the system will replace the old schedule with the new one selected from the list.
Also see our complete list of all packaged schedules.
When finished, you MUST click on the Choose Schedule button in order to apply your changes.
NOTE: If add or remove franchises, or make changes to your Division & Conference Setup, you MUST reselect your packaged schedule in order to apply these changes.

| 17. | How do I use the Randomize Fantasy Schedule page?
Answer: This screen allows the commissioner to randomly change around the weeks of your fantasy schedule. In other words, all matchups in your schedule remain the same, however, the weeks in which those matchups are played are randomly re-arranged. Note that you may choose this option as many times as you'd like to repeatedly re-arrange your fantasy schedule as many times as you see fit, until you find a schedule that suits your needs.
To use, simply define the starting and ending number of the weeks that you would like to randomize.
When finished, you MUST click on the Now button to apply your changes. The system will make the changes and display the updated Fantasy Schedule By Week report.

| 18. | How do I use the Rearrange Franchises In Fantasy Schedule page?
Answer: Some leagues prefer to keep the same schedule from season to season while changing the relative position of each franchise within the schedule. This screen allows for any schedule to be rearranged by franchise. For example, the position in the schedule held by franchise 2 last year might now be held by franchise 6. Franchise 6's position in last year's schedule may now be occupied by franchise 3. You can also use this screen to define/edit weekly BYEs or league AVERAGE opponents for your league.
NOTE: This is a non-reversible change to your schedule so be careful to transpose the teams correctly. If you do make a mistake, you'll have to use the Fantasy Schedule - Compact
(or similar) reports to determine how to correct your schedule and use this rearrange option again.
Replace All Occurrences Of - This is a list of each franchise in your league. Use this as the source for any change.
With - From the pull-down field select the new franchise to replace the team listed in the first column of the corresponding row.
NOTE: Before saving changes, you should verify that you've defined each franchise in the "With" column EXACTLY once. Failure to do this will cause significant problems to the logic to your schedule and most likely require that you start fresh or use the Weekly Schedule Setup
screen to manually correct each week.
When finished, you MUST click on the Rearrange Fantasy Schedule button to apply your changes. The system will make the changes and display the updated Fantasy Schedule By Week
report.

| 19. | How do I use the Switch Schedule Weeks page?
Answer: Use this screen to swap two already-defined weeks in a fantasy schedule. This is commonly done, for example, to move a doubleheader week with a single-header week. Simply choose the two weeks by number in the two pull-down fields and click on the Switch Schedule Weeks button.
