FFToolbox

In 2013, we partnered with our friends at FFToolbox to help kick-start the Dynasty Football World Championship (DFWC).  It’s back and stronger than ever in 2014.  But FFToolbox is much more than just the DFWC.  Whether you’re looking for ADP information, auction values, cheat sheets or news, FFToolbox has you covered.  Here’s a little information about what they provide:

Fantasy information for 2014 will include: free agent / contract year players list and a “How to Play Fantasy Football” section packed with tips, strategies and advice for new players and veterans alike. Mock Draft Results, Sleepers, Busts, Keepers, Rookies, you name it! You won’t need to look anywhere else for NFL fantasy football information. During the season, we have weekly fantasy football cheat sheets / rankings, waiver wire advice, sleepers of the week, fantasy football news and tons of information to help answer your who to start and who to bench questions.

Reality Sports Online

Formed in 2011 by former NFL team personnel, Reality Sports Online’s (RSO) mission is to deliver fantasy sports platforms that emulate the front office operations and general manager experience of professional sports organizations. Reality Sports Online satisfies the needs of the fantasy elite by providing the world’s most engaging and realistic fantasy experience.

If you’re looking to try a salary cap system or looking to take your existing salary cap league to the next level, you need to check out what they’ve created, it’s unparalleled in the fantasy space.  Here’s a an explanation of what RSO offers:

Reality Sports Online (“RSO”) currently offers a Fantasy Football Front Office Platform (the “Football Platform”). Unlike any other fantasy game, the Football Platform blends the best elements of traditional fantasy games with the excitement of professional front office operations! RSO’s Football Platform is revolutionizing fantasy sports because of its ability to meet the increasing aptitude of fantasy participants. RSO’s Football Platform is most similar to a dynasty league, or franchise game format. However, unlike RSO’s easy to use and manage Football Platform, other dynasty leagues, which aim to emulate real-life and sometimes include player contracts, come with an endless variety of rules and regulations, and are extremely difficult to manage thanks to their limited hosting platforms.

What’s the best part about being a real-life GM? It’s trying to build a championship team by picking the talent, negotiating contracts and signing players. RSO provides this experience by enabling fantasy team owners to negotiate multi-year contracts in real-time online in the Free Agency Auction Room. The Free Agency Auction Room is RSO’s most innovative feature, simulating real-life Free Agency over the course of 2 to 3 hours instead of 2 to 3 months.

Other key features include:

** A rookie draft with slotted contracts based on draft selection

** Partially guaranteed contracts

** A salary cap based on NFL rules

** Use of a franchise tag

** Fully customizable scoring, roster, and contract settings

Reality Sports Online emulates professional front office operations, without requiring a commissioner to spend hours a day tracking moves and entering data. Reality Sports Online does all the contract record keeping and Salary Cap calculations for you. Fantasy is now Reality at realitysportsonline.com.”
