Fantasy Football '98 Rules: Scoring

Rules Index The eight players on a team's active roster generate statistics that earn points and these points are added together for a weekly score. Statistics of bench players do NOT earn points. The winner of the game is the team with more points earned for the week (two weeks for playoff games). In the event that both you and your opponent accumulate the same number of points, a tie will be given. No playoff game can end in a tie, see the Playoffs page for more information.
