NOTE: This is a new game offered by TSN. There seems to still be a few bugs to work out. For example, TSN notes that you will be placed in an 8 team league, but their rules indicate that the league prizes are for 12 team leagues. We'll let you know more as we (or they) figure it out.

Check the site listed above for complete rules.

Tomorrow we will look at Yahoo Fantasy Auto Racing.
