:redhot: You got that right. I really needed that win, too - but I guess we both could of. Congrats - I'll get you next time. :D

Note: Week 13 is the last week for free agent signings and Week 10 (this week) is the last week to propose trades!

Question: How do the playoffs work? What if you have players who aren't on playoff teams?

Marc, full playoff information is found here (http://exit42a.fanball.com/ff.x42?prg=page~html=x42-faq-playoffs01.htm).

You don't have to worry about players on your team not making the playoffs becuase FanBall playoffs doesn't take place during the NFL Playoff season. Rather, the first 13 weeks in the NFL regular season are considered FanBall's regular season. Weeks #14, #15, and #16 in the NFL regular season are considered FanBall's playoff season (no FanBall games on NFL Week #17). Therefore, it now becomes obvious why no transactions are allowed after Week #13 because it's just like a "real" pro league where no transactions are allowed during the playoffs.

The top team in each division is gauranteed a playoff berth and a bye- in Week #14. Seed #3 plays Seed #6, and Seed #4 plays Seed #5 in the opening round playoff matches, Week #14. The wineer of 3/6 plays #1, and the winner of 4/5 plays #2 (I think that's how it will probably work) in the second round, Week #15. Then, obviously, the winner of 1/3/6 plays the championship game versus the winner of 2/4/5 during Week #16.

Got it?

Whew! Glad that losing streak is over. Now I should get back to my early season form.
