| 1. | How do I change up my fantasy schedule each year?
Answer: You have several options to make this work.
1. If you do not make any changes to your divisions then simply go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule and resave the page with the current package format. That will generate a new package for you for the season, keeping the same format, but adjusting the weeks you play opponents and the non-divisional games.
2. Should option 1 not generate enough randomness for your league, or you would like to change the current league schedule (especially if this is customized) you can also go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Rearrange Franchises In Fantasy Schedule to replace occurrences and thereby altering the matchups. When replacing these teams if you wish to keep the package consistent be sure to only rearrange teams within the same division/conference. You will also want to make sure that you close any loop, so if you replace Team A with Team B and Team B with C; you will then need to replace Team C with Team A.
3. Use the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup and manually adjust various weeks lineups.
Note that options 2 & 3 of these two options can alter your Packaged Schedule Settings for Divisional/Conference play. If you rearrange the franchises you will want to be sure to be consistent in making changes within the divisions/conferences to keep the integrity of the package.
4. 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.
5. 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 only adjust the weeks in which your teams play, but keep with the same Pre-packaged schedule option that was chosen.

| 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 using the drop down box where it states "Add More Games".
Then, using the drop down boxes, assign the franchises for each additional matchup.
If you wish to extend the weeks of play, say add matchups for week 17 then go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Weekly Schedule Setup. Here choose the week that you wish to edit and using the drop down boxes assign the matchup.

| 3. | What can I do if a specific fantasy schedule does not exist for my league?
Answer: The system includes about 700 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:
- The Weekly Schedule Setup screen will allow you to manually define/edit matchups.
- The Switch Schedule Weeks screen will allow you to swap two specific weeks of an existing schedule. This will swap all of the games played in that week with an alternate week.
- The Randomize Fantasy Schedule screen will randomly rearrange the weeks of an existing schedule. This will not re-arrange the matchups of games played, just the weeks that the matchups are played.
- The Rearrange Franchises in Fantasy Schedule screen will change only the franchises - leaving the base schedule in tact. This last option is ideal for leagues that keep a schedule, but change the franchises based on the previous year's standings.
- The Import Fantasy Schedule screen will allow you to import your own customized schedule into your league.
- The Schedule Generator screen allows you to generate a schedule based on the divisions and weeks of play.

| 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. | 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'.

| 8. | 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 set up an extra/dummy franchise for the league average, as the system automatically "knows" what the average franchise is for your league.

| 9. | 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.
Some leagues choose to use this feature to avoid doubleheader games or divisional games that fall during weeks that NFL teams are on bye.

| 10. | How do I set up a double header league?
Answer: 1. Go to the For Commissioner > Setup > General League Setup screen and choose Yes, head-to-head matchups each week. Then go to the For Commissioner > Setup > Select A Packaged Schedule and define a schedule for your league that contain doubleheader games.
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. Finally, use the drop down boxes to assign your matchups for these additional games.

| 11. | 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.

| 12. | How can we play both a h2h matchup each week and award wins for the Top teams.
Answer: There is not an option to automatically award wins for both h2h matchups and the top scorers (i.e. getting 2 wins in a week if you won your h2h game and finished on top against all teams).
To account for this you have 2 options:
Option 1:
Choose a Packaged Schedule for your H2H matchups. Then each week you will use the Setup > Adjust Standings to add the additional Wins/Losses as needed to teams for being the top scorer. You can determine these by viewing the Reports > Standings > Weekly Summary.
Option 2:
Use Victory Points to Account for both h2h and total point wins. See this league_id&FAQ=492> FAQ for details.

| 13. | 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.

| 14. | 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. To add additional games to your matchup set the value on the "Add More Games" and then use the drop down boxes to assign the 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 corresponding checkbox to "delete" next to a specific matchup.

| 16. | 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.

| 17. | 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.
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.
Replace All Occurrences Of: "Franchise 2" With "Franchise 6"
Replace All Occurrences Of: "Franchise 6" With "Franchise 3"
When doing this replacement be sure that you have proper replaced each team exactly 1 time so they do not appear twice in the schedule.
You can also use this screen to define/edit weekly BYEs or league AVERAGE opponents for your league.
Example: A team leaves your league after the season started, you can replace them with the Bye or Ave by entering:
Replace All Occurrences Of: "Franchise X" With "Bye" or "Average"
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.

| 18. | 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.
