This game challenges you to build a roster of pro football players consisting of 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 Kicker, and 1 Team Defense, while staying under your team's $50m salary cap. To join, you must have or create an ESPN league id.

How to play once you are signed up:
Select Your Players

Rosters must consist of eight (8) players and one (1) team unit (defense/special teams) which fit under the $50m salary cap. The eight (8) players on a team's roster consist of the following positions:

* 2 Quarterbacks (QB)
* 2 Running Backs (RB)
* 2 Wide Receivers (WR)
* 1 Tight End (TE)
* 1 Kicker (K)
* 1 Defense/Special teams (D/ST)

The listed salaries are based on a combination of the players season-to-date and projected playoff statistics according to the scoring system and will adjust twice during this game: once after Wild Card Weekend and once after Divisional Weekend. The range of player values are $8.0-4.0m per and the range of defenses $6.0-3.0m per. Players are moved onto your roster by selecting the position you want to modify and clicking on the green Plus (+) icon next to one of the players in the available players list.

Roster Lock Periods

Roster slots lock individually at the scheduled start time of each player's game. The first lock is the weekend of the NFL Playoffs on Saturday, January 3, 2009 (exact time TBD) and you can change the players around as often as you like up until this time. After the Wild Card Weekend is completed, you will be able to select a new roster for the Divisional Playoffs games. After the Divisional Playoffs are completed, you will again be able to select a new roster if you wish. This is the last roster change period available as the roster you have set for the Conference Championship games is frozen for the remainder of the playoffs (i.e. the Super Bowl as well). The roster change periods are listed below:

* Period #1 (Wild Card Weekend): Game launch (Dec. 22) until first kickoff of the Wild Card Weekend games (Jan 3 - time TBD)
* Period #2 (Divisional Playoffs): Shortly after the Wild Card Weekend games are complete until first kickoff of Divisional Playoffs (Jan. 10 - time TBD)
* Period #3 (Conference Championships): Shortly after the Divisional Playoff games are complete until first kickoff of Conference Championship (Jan. 17 - time TBD). This is the final roster lock.

In order to maximize your possible points for the game, you should have active players for the first 8 games of the playoffs. In other words, do not play any players from teams that have BYE's during the Wild Card Weekend games.

[xanderthegreat35]

i signed up but my espn account is not my SCF id is there a way to change it without making a new account?

[CHillyDoggy]

I think you can edit it in on ESPN... You don't have to make your ESPN username the same as your SCF username, just the pick set name has to be the same as your SCF username.
