Our software product, Fantasy Commissioner Desktop, automates all the tasks that you do manually to run your fantasy football league. This will save you many hours each week, and will also make you look like a great commissioner because of all the cool reports you can give to the other owners. Here is a rundown of how it all works:

1. After you install the software on your computer, you run it and create a league database for each league that you are commissioner for. Each time you run Fantasy Commissioner, you choose the league database that you would like to work with.
   
   
2. You set up each league by entering your leagues scoring system (Fantasy Commissioner supports hundreds of scoring rules which can be viewed here), fantasy schedule, owner info, and assigning the NFL players to each fantasy roster. If you use PEDS for your draft, you can import the results of the draft into Fantasy Commissioner, so you will have each owners fantasy roster set up automatically. You are now ready for the first week of the season.
   
   
3. Each week, you will enter any trades, free agent pickups, and drops for each fantasy team. The software will automatically track any league fees that apply to these transactions.
   
   
4. Then you enter the starting lineups for each fantasy team. You can then print a "Starting Lineup" report that the other owners can use while watching the NFL games so they know which players to root for and against.
   
   
5. At 11:00pm PST on Monday or anytime after, you can import the weekly stats file for the previous weeks NFL games. This file contains the raw stats of every player who played during the previous week. The program will then automatically use these raw stats against your leagues scoring system to compute the fantasy points for each player. And since you entered the starting lineups of each fantasy team, it will automatically compute the winners of your leagues fantasy games. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MANUALLY ENTER ANY STATS AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MANUALLY CALCULATE THE FANTASY POINTS. Importing and computing the results only takes one or two minutes.
   
   
6. You can then print out all kinds of reports to give to the other owners in the league, such as: Fantasy Standings, Weekly Results, Player Transactions, Money Transactions, Top Players, Free Agent List, Fantasy Rosters, etc. You can also email the reports to all the owners, as well as create web pages and upload them to your site, all within the software and all with the click of a button!
   
   That's all that's to it! The whole process can be done each week in minutes!
   
   So, the benefits of using Fantasy Commissioner include:

• Saves you hours each week over doing your league by hand
• Increases the accuracy of your results because you will not have errors in reading the boxscores, entering the stats, etc
• Makes the league more enjoyable because of all the numerous reports you can give to the other owners
• Gives you more time and more tools to improve your fantasy team
