Q: How do I make configuration changes after completing the league registration process?
A: League Commissioners will find a link on their League Home Page called Commissioner Tools which has a toolset to make configuration changes. There are separate links into the various components of the league configuration settings. Once the link is clicked, the corresponding settings will be displayed. You must click the "Edit" link, make the changes you desire and then click the "Save" button. Some changes are locked after the draft is complete and other are locked after the season begins. Please review the Rules section to see the timing of when the various settings are locked down.

Q: I have completed registration and want to change the Maximum number of players allowed per team but that field is display only. How do I make the change?
A: OK, that is the one exception to the answer above. During initial registration, our League Wizard takes the max players input and then allows you to distribute the players across the various starting positions in the Scoring Matrix. After completing registration using the Wizard, the maximum number of players per team is strictly controlled by the Scoring Matrix. So, click the link on the League Home Page called "Scoring Matrix" and you will be able to update the number of positions there.

Q: If I configure Points Per Reception in the Scoring Matrix, is that for wide receivers only or does it also apply to running backs?
A: All configuration scoring options apply to all skill position players. So, Points Per Reception is applied to QB, WR, RB, TE and even kickers who catch a pass during a game.

Q: I have a league of 12 teams and 6 of them make the playoffs. I want to set up a Toilet Bowl for 4 teams and have the 7th-10th place teams play in it, which means that the 11th and 12th place teams are done. Is that possible?
A: Yes. At MFS, you can choose how many teams you wish to play in your Toilet Bowl and if they are the first teams out of the Playoffs or the worst teams in the league.

Q: Does the Trade Deadline and Add/Drop Deadline kick in at the beginning of the day or end of the day?
A: These deadlines kick off when the first second of the day ticks in the Eastern Standard Time zone. So, if your Trade Deadline is on 11/15, then at 12:00:01am EST, no trades can be offered or accepted.

Q: When using the "Autolock Mathematically Eliminated Teams From Trades" option, are the Toilet Bowl teams are locked out from making trades or not?
A: Yes. Unless both teams have a mathematical chance at making the league playoffs, we will not allow them to execute a trade. If this is a problem, it is best to configure this setting to be NO and Approve and Reject trades as you see fit.

Q: I ran a Private league on MFS last season and want to repeat it again this year. Can I retrieve the email addresses for the people that played the prior year?
A: Yes. When registering your new league, there is an option to Copy A Previous League. Use that option and your configuration will be copied from the prior season, which you can elect to change, and the email addresses from all participants will be brought into the Invite Friends step. Additionally, you can use the report on the My Leagues page (under the Message Board) called "Member Performance History" to see the final standings and the Team & Coach list from that season, which will include the owner's email address.
