HOW TO PLAY

• Free Play – Enter once daily at no cost for a chance to win Roster Stars merchandise. Learn the game, try new strategies, and compete against fellow Legends.
• The Fee Based contests – find the contest that fits your budget. When selecting your contests, you will notice:
  • The contest name (i.e. Legends Series (A))
  • The fee that it will cost to participate
  • The number of expected participants
  • The total prize money that will be awarded
  • The date that the contest is for
• Each contest has a limited amount of participants and once it reaches its limit, it will automatically close and start a new contest with a new contest name for you to enter.
• Any contest that does not reach its expected capacity will be declared as non-qualified and all fees for that specific contest will be returned.
• Any contest that reaches 50 or more entries will pay out the Top 50 participants.

So, pick your contest, press “Enter” and let’s make it happen!!!

Build your roster strategically within the salary cap. Compare players and find the best value for every salary cap dollar. The “Your Roster” panel helps you track your salary cap spending, so play around until you find the right fit.

So choose wisely, add any additions and be prepared to hit the “submit button”.

DNP (Did Not Play) Insurance is protection against the one bad break in this game: the numbers landing on a game where your player did not score. Without insurance, that game scores zero. With insurance, the zero is replaced by the player’s career average. Insure a player for $1, or the whole roster for $5 — and the week’s Spotlight Player always carries his insurance free.

The Ultimate Player is you. Draft yourself at any one position — quarterback one day, kicker the next — and a full 13-year template career plays under your own name, in the white Roster Stars jersey with number 1. It costs $1 per roster, one Ultimate Player per roster, and DNP (Did Not Play) Insurance works on you just like anyone else.

And if a past or present star is missing from the pool, Nominate a Legend: tell us his name and team, pay the $1 nomination fee, and we research him, build his card, and put him in the game within two business days — with an email to you when he is live.

So try these features and “Boost” your chances and involvement.

When your eight slots are full, hit Submit Roster. The Review & Pay panel shows your roster one more time, your contest, and your additions — DNP Insurance, an Ultimate Player, a nomination — all rolled into one TOTAL DUE. Nothing is final until you press PAY NOW, and you can always go back and keep editing.

The moment you pay, your roster is locked and timestamped to the second, and you get a unique ticket ID — that ticket is your entry, and a confirmation email follows. The timestamp matters more than it looks: if two rosters ever finish with the exact same score, the one submitted earlier places higher. Early rosters win ties.

So be Strategic, be Economical, be Smart and get your roster in “Early”.

The secret sauce or heart of Roster Stars are the two numbers spinning at the top of the Lobby: Career Year and Game Number. There’s a 20-hour window of time, where you will be able to submit your roster of legends. At 12 noon Central Time (the following day), the roster submission window will close and no more rosters will be accepted for that day’s contests. At 1 p.m. Central Time the spinning numbers will stop, revealing one randomly selected pair of numbers for the day’s contest. Those two numbers will be used to score every roster in every contest.

For example, if the spinning numbers stop on Career Year 4 and Game Number 10; that means each player on your roster will earn fantasy points based on his actual performance in the 10th game of his 4th career year. Everyone gets the same numbers — your strategy comes down to the eight players you choose.

Scoring takes place from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Central Time. While you wait, feel free to research players career stats, watch player highlights, read about the Spotlight Player of the Week or visit Uncle Lou’s Chat Room to swap stories with him or other Legends.

There’s plenty to do on Roster Stars, so knock around and learn more about the greatest players of all-time.

You’ll receive email and/or text notifications about your contest entries. View each player’s score, your roster’s total, and the complete contest standings to see how you ranked against other participants.

For a breakdown of how points are awarded, visit our “How Scoring Works” page. You can also verify scores using each player’s “Full Career Statistics Log”.

Top 5 finishers will be celebrated a bit differently, but the Top 50 will also receive some amount of winnings.
