Fantasy football (American)
Fantasy football is a game in which the participants serve as the general managers of virtual professional gridiron football teams. The competitors choose their team rosters by participating in a draft in which all players of a real football league are available. Points are based on the actual performances of the players in real-world competition. The game typically involves the National Football League, Canadian Football League or college football. There are two main types of fantasy football: Daily fantasy football is managed by commercial internet companies who charge a percentage of each betting pool.
Fantasy sport
A fantasy sport (also known less commonly as rotisserie or roto) is a type of online game where participants assemble imaginary or virtual teams of real players of a professional sport. These teams compete based on the statistical performance of those players' players in actual games. This performance is converted into points that are compiled and totaled according to a roster selected by each fantasy team's manager. These point systems can be simple enough to be manually calculated by a "league commissioner" who coordinates and manages the overall league, or points can be compiled and calculated using computers tracking actual results of the professional sport.
Fantasy football (association)
Fantasy football (less commonly referred to as fantasy association football worldwide but known as fantasy soccer in the United States) is a game in which participants assemble an imaginary team of real life footballers and score points based on those players' actual statistical performance or their perceived contribution on the field of play. Usually players are selected from one specific division in a particular country, although there are many variations. The original game was created in England by Bernie Donnelly on Saturday 14 August 1971 and is still going strong 45 years later. Fantasy football has evolved in recent years from a simple recreational activity into a significant business due to exposure via the internet.
Fantasy baseball
Fantasy Baseball is a game in which people manage rosters of league baseball players, either online or in a physical location. The participants compete against one another using those players' real life statistics to score points. Materials in the Jack Kerouac Archive at the New York Public Library show that Kerouac (1922–69) played his own form of fantasy baseball starting quite young and continued developing and playing this perhaps private version of fantasy baseball during most of his life. His version of fantasy baseball was completely fictitious, with made up players and statistics. At the Library from November 2007 to February 2008, an exhibition on Kerouac's life and works includes several display cases of Kerouac's highly detailed fantasy baseball records, including charts, sketches, and notes.
Impact! Miniatures
Impact! Miniatures is a company started in April 2006 by members of the Blood Bowl online community with the aim of producing figures suitable for use with Fantasy Football games such as Elfball, Blood Bowl, Street Brawl, Street Bowl and Deathball. Impact! Miniatures was started by gamers to bring products to the market that the Fantasy Football gaming community was requesting but could not get from the larger miniature companies that dominated this market. The company opened for business in the UK on April 24, 2006 and officially opened a branch in the USA on June 1, 2007. Impact! brings a mix of miniatures that they felt were missing from games from full 28 mm figures to conversion sprues to help gamers make better custom pieces.
Oulala Fantasy Football
Oulala Fantasy Football is a web-based fantasy football (or fantasy soccer) game. The game consists of a typical, traditional fantasy football setup allowing the player to pick real life footballers to make up their fantasy football squad each week. Their fantasy team scores points based on how the players they've picked perform in their real life matches. The game can be played for free or for cash prizes in a poker-style entry fee format. Oulala differs largely from other fantasy football games available. Most other games operate around one national league whereas Oulala is open to four major European leagues, the English Premier League, the Spanish La Liga, the French Ligue 1 and the Italian Serie A so the player can pick a team with a mix of the finest players Europe has to offer.
Fantazzle
Fantazzle was a fantasy sports website that allowed users to play daily, weekly, and seasonal fantasy sports games. Some of the games they offered were free, while others required a monetary deposit. Every game Fantazzle offered resulted in an immediate cash prize. The website has since been shut down. Fantazzle launched in September 2008. They are members of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA). In January 2009, Fantazzle was recognized jointly by the FSTA and the Fantasy Football Librarian as the winner of the 2008 Fantasy Football Projection Accuracy Challenge in its first year. In 2010, Fantazzle released a white paper on the impact of fantasy sports has on workplace productivity.
