Fantrax

[Aaron Brouwer]

We will be using fantrax to run the day to day operations of the pool. Every one will need a fantrax account. I will be sending out the invites tomorrow. If you already have a fantrax account please email [email protected] with the email address that your fantrax account is linked too. Also we have a few spots remaining so spread the word. Those who have not paid yet please do so or let us know if you have decided not to participate. Thanks

Will the Fantrax site have the players real salaries loaded for Sunday when we draft?

Speaking of that, is our cap going to be the same as the NHL's?

[Coach Selly]

Also, could we please get an explanation of what we (team owners) will be responsible for on Fantrax?

[hamhocks]

There are still no salary cap numbers in Fantrax. Are these going to be loaded in before the draft?

[Aaron Brouwer]

I am trying to get fantrax to change it but not sure if it will happen before the draft :(

[Coach Selly]

For the team abbreviations on Fantrax, do we want those to reflect our team names?
Right now the abbreviation for my team is "BF"

Another tip for Fantrax, if you know that you are going to have Fantrax autodraft for you from your Draft Queue, there is little box below your Draft Queue area that you can check so it will immediately make your pick as soon as you are up. This will keep it from waiting the 12 hours before it times out and picks for you.

[Coach Selly]

To set your Draft Queue on Fantrax:

- Log in to your Fantrax Account
- Under "My Leagues" go to the "FHC Keeper League"
- Click on "Rank Players" in the menu bar, the page to add players to your Draft Queue will come up
- Add the players you would like to have to your list
- When you are done adding players, click on "Draft Room" in the menu bar
- In the Draft Room, click on the green + next to the player's name to add the player to your Draft Queue
- The player's name(s) will then appear in the Draft Queue box at the bottom of the page
- Use the blue arrows next to the players' names to rank them in the order you would like Fantrax to pick the players for you
- Check the box next to "Draft player from queue immediately," this box is located directly under the Draft Queue box
- Fantrax will now automatically draft the next available player in your list when your turn comes up

Does anyone need a 'tutorial' on how to adjust your roster on Fantrax?

[Coach Selly]

If you are claiming someone off of waivers, make sure you manipulate your roster so that the player will fit within the roster restrictions; 9 starting forwards, 4 starting dman, 5 bench, and 6 minor leaguers. The best method to do major league players is to put the player you are going to drop on your bench, and when keying in the waiver add, make sure you choose the new player to go to your bench. Also, make sure your major roster is within cap regulations if possible. If adding a minor leaguer, just make sure you choose the added player to go to the Minors, again while making sure your within cap regulations if possible.
