You can enable the fantasy game for your competition under the Extra heading in the Details of the competition. This can be done when you add a new competition or edit an existing competition.
1. Change the Fantasy game status from Disabled to Enabled.
2. Enter a fantasy team budget under the Fantasy game budget. You can edit this field up until the time you change the status of the competition to Open.
If you enable the fantasy game, a ROSTER tab will appear in the Roster Athletics app, from which users can select the athletes for their fantasy teams.
3. During and after the competition, you can use a few options to inform users about the status of the Roster fantasy game. To find these options, click the Jobs link in the left-hand menu.
Inspect every roster: start lists - this option allows you to inspect every roster and remove athletes no longer on start lists. If the roster is changed, a user will receive a notification.
Inspect every rosters: budgets - this option allows you to inspect the budget of every roster. If a user's roster is over budget, he/she will receive a notification.
Calculate final rankings - this is a practical option to calculate all rankings after all the results have been entered. However, usually all rankings should be correctly updated automatically a few minutes after the last competition ends.
Notify about final results - after all of the results have been compiled, you can notify users about the final results.
4. During and after the competition, you can check information about the top 20 fantasy game players by clicking the Ranking in the left-hand menu.
The following events are excluded from the fantasy game:
- Relays
- Mixed gender events
- Events not within the categories of Sprint/Distance/Throw/Jump
- Multi age group events
Note on price calculations: prices on athletes are based on the athlete’s current form (SB), personal best, and the spread between the best athlete in the world and the one in 50th/100th place on the global ranking for that event.
