we will be allowing everyone to use the site to run their own pools and
tabulating the results under the same rules as in the past for $25.00 per

"rules" tab on the site as well.
We are also adding open public leagues this year.
You'll be able to pay "x" amount to join a public league and we will
pay out 90% of the monies collected out to the highest finishers. When
you sign up please take notice to the states that aren't allowed entrance and

Official League Rules
1.
New Rules /
Reminders / General Information
1.1. Withdrawal Rule: Once the deadline hits for adding or changing teams, you
not be allowed to modify your lineup. You will have until the official
starting time of the first round of the NCAA National Wrestling Tournament to
add rosters or make changes to existing rosters. If a wrestler withdraws from the
tournament prior to its start, and that wrestler is on your roster, you will
not receive any points for that weight class. Therefore, you should make a final check
of your rosters prior to the submission deadline to insure you don't have this
issue.
1.2. Deduction Points Clarification: If a wrestler is deducted a team
point(s) in the team scoring by the NCAA he will also be deducted a point(s) in
our pool. We score our pool exactly as the NCAA scores the team
race. Additionally, if a coach is deducted a team point, the NCAA
assigns that deduction to the wrestler competing for that coach when the
deduction occurred. Therefore, we too will deduct a point
from that wrestler.
1.3. Reminder: Please look over the entire rules sheet along with all
e-mails we sent before e-mailing questions. We're more than happy to help you with
anything, but please keep in mind this pool is very large and you may find an
answer more quickly by simply reading the rules. Everything will be handled the same year
to year, so if you've been in previously, unless notified, everything will be
handle as it was in the past.
1.4. Website: All roster selections must be completed
through the following site: www.fantasygrade.com. You will be required to register, after
which you will need to accept an invitation to the pool. Once you have done both, you can begin

the site, but it is pretty self-explanatory.
1.5. Payment: This year's pool will be run through the FantasyGrade.com website. Results will be available during the
