Fantasy Gemz Fantasy Football

Welcome to Fantasy Gemz Fantasy Football 2005. This is the place if you want to compete for cash prizes each and every week! At FantasyGemz.com , each league (excluding Winner Takes All leagues) is guaranteed to have 3 out-of 5 owners going away WINNERS!

That's 60% of our league owners winning a cash prize each week for 17 weeks, while other websites have only four or maybe five winners for an entire season. Those type of sites keep two-thirds of their owners waiting five months just to find out that they've lost their league, lost their entire entry fee that could total hundreds of dollars, and lost an entire fantasy football season.

Our 5-team league format, makes it possible for your entire starting lineup to consist of 1 of the top 5 QB's in the NFL, 2 of the top 10 RB's, 2 of the top 10 WR's or TE's, and so on. When was the last time you were involved in a fantasy draft where you came away with a starting lineup consisting of the top 5 or 10 players at every position?

Reserve your teams now for Kickoff 2005. The first drafts of the season will take place on Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 at 8:00pm.

At Fantasy Gemz Fantasy Football, you can participate in one or more of our weekly 5-Team leagues or one or more of our Exclusive High Roller or Winner Takes All Gem leagues. There is no limit to the number of leagues you can join each week. Then once you win, you can keep doing it all over again and again!

FantasyGemz.com offers two types of Exclusive Gem leagues for those fantasy fans who believe they possess managerial skills superior to none. The High Roller leagues, and the Winner Takes All leagues. These leagues are not for the weak hearted mind you, but for those wanna be mega moguls of fantasy football. In the High Roller leagues, you compete for EXTRA, EXTRA LARGE CASH prizes. Our other Exclusive Gem is the Winner Takes All league. Now, we must advise you, only mess with this type of league if you have a serious, SERIOUS go for the gusto attitude. With the Winner Takes All leagues, there are no second or third place prizewinners. When the dust clears there will be one and only one fantasy bad ass left standing.

All of Fantasy Gemz Fantasy Football leagues will hold a LIVE ONLINE DRAFT. When your draft is set to begin, choose the OWNERS option from the menu on your leagues home page. Then select the DRAFT option. This will take you to the Live Online Draft Room. Once there, choose your team, enter your password, and you will be ready to draft, or if you like, perform a predraft. (We strongly suggest that you familiarize yourself with the Live Online Draft Room and the predrafting process before your draft actually begins.)

All owners will select their players in serpentine drafts consisting of 8 rounds. In a serpentine draft, the draft order rotates each round. The team with the first pick of the draft would draft first, the team with the second pick would draft second, and so on through the last pick in the round. In round 2, the team with the last pick in round 1 would pick first. While the team with the first pick in round 1 would pick last.

Note: The first drafts of the season will take place on Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 7, 2005.

Each leagues draft will take place in the LIVE ONLINE DRAFT ROOM. Owners should try to arrive 10 minutes before their draft is scheduled to begin. (Once again, it is strongly suggested that you familiarize yourself with the predrafting process and the “LIVE DRAFT MODE” before your draft actually begins.) During the draft, each team will have two minutes to make their selection per round. Each team will have the opportunity to predraft for any round before and during the draft. We recommend predrafting, because it speeds up the draft and enables owners to be prepared when it is their turn to draft. LIVE ONLINE DRAFTS will be held every Friday during the season at 9:00pm ET.

NOTE: Drafts will be held on Wednesdays at 8:00pm ET for weeks that have Thursday games at the start of the week.

The "pre-draft" feature was designed mainly for long-running email-type drafts, but it can be very helpful for live drafts, too. Pre-drafting must be utilized for owners who own more than one team during a given week. The most important thing to understand about this feature is the following:

Any pre-draft picks submitted by an owner will be selected as soon as it is that owner's turn to pick for that given pick of the draft. In other words, if you have submitted pre-draft picks for round 2 of your draft, as soon as the team before you in round 2 picks, the system will go through your pre-draft list at that time (even if you're actively logged into the draft!) and make your pick for you. If an owner has to step away from his computer for whatever reason during a live draft, he may want to pre-draft for an upcoming round or two while he is away, so the system can automatically make his picks for him. If for any reason an owner does not make their selection before their time is up; as soon as their time expires, our software will automatically select the best available player for that team. HOWEVER, if an owner misses two picks in a row, or three picks total throughout the draft, selections will be automatically made for them from that point on.

Each of the players in your starting lineup will earn points for that week based on statistics from actual NFL games.

When two owners agree upon a trade, it is immediately executed. If a trade is processed and completed, and a majority of the owners within that league (not including the owners involved in the trade) feel the trade is one sided, they must email thecommissioner@fantasygemz.com within 24 hours of the completion of the trade to voice their complaints. If a majority of the owners votes to veto the trade, the trade will be reversed retroactively.
