| 1. | How do I use the Franchise Information page?
Answer: The franchise information report will show you all details about the selected franchises, including: Franchise name, owner name, phone/fax contact information, franchise URL, franchise logo, franchise owner email address, division and conference, current roster, transaction history, and league fees accumulated year-to-date, among other information. Note that personally identifying information, such as email address, phone/fax numbers, etc., will only be display to people who are logged into your league, for privacy reasons. Leagues that limit waivers on a per-week and/or per-season basis also have the corresponding totals displayed.
This report also contains a 'My Options' section.
| • | If you're logged in as an owner, and see that 'My Options' row for your own franchise, it will have links to do all things that are currently under the 'For Owners' menu. |
| • | If you're logged in as an owner, and see that 'My Options' row for another franchise, it will have a link to propose a trade with that other franchise. |
| • | If you're logged in as a commissioner, the 'My Options' row will contain all options under the 'For Owners' menu for each franchise. This also has the added benefit for the commissioner to allow management of just one franchise at a time if using the new, javascript menus. For example, if the commissioner went to the 'My Options' row for franchise #1 and clicked on basic franchise setup, he could just change the franchise setup parameters and email the password to that owner for only that one franchise (rather than all franchises if he used the basic franchise setup option under the 'For Owners' menu). |

| 3. | I want to resequence my franchises, assigning them different franchise numbers - what's the best way to do that?
Answer: In general, we strongly suggest that you do not try to resequence your franchises, as that not only takes a lot of time to do and can cause a lot of problems with your league if it's done incorrectly, the vast majority of the time it's not necessary. The franchise number is just an identifier, it has no function on the site other than to uniquely identify one franchise from the next.
Two common reasons for resequencing franchises are:
1 ) You'd like league reports to appear in a specific order - like, you'd like the rosters report to display first franchise #10, and then franchise #2, and so on. To achieve that, simply use the For Commissioners > Setup > Custom Franchise Order Setup page, and indicate your custom franchise order there, and most league reports will be re-ordered by this new custom franchise order.
2 ) You'd like your league schedule to be arranged based on your "franchise numbers". To do that, you can use the For Commissioners > Setup > Fantasy Schedule Setup > Rearrange Franchises In Fantasy Schedule page, and change the franchises in your fantasy schedule that way.

| 4. | How do I Add Icons & Logos?
Answer: Icons and Logos can be added in the For Owners > Franchise Setup - Customize. Icons will appear on the League Standing Reports and Logos will appear on the owners Franchise Information report.
To add an Icon or Logo you can choose one of the pre-defined icons, one of our new, high-resolution helmets, one of our classic helmets, create your own helmet or upload your own file to be used (note the uploaded file must be a GIF or JPEG and less than 200kB in size).
Note: On the For Commissioner > Setup > Icons Setup the option for owners must be “As Specified by owners on Franchise Setup Page” chosen in order for the owners to add their own icons.
If your Image is Greater than 300kB
If your image is greater than 300kB then you will need to store this sound on your web server or a remote location that offers web space (note that most ISP’s that offer free email also offer free web space). If you upload your image here you can then go to the For Owners > Franchise Setup - Customize and define the URL here.

| 8. | How do I make my League private?
Answer: To make your league private you have two settings found on the Setup > Reports & Other Settings screen.
Here you can choose to not allow league reports to be accessible to guests, whereby anyone not logged into the league is still able to access your home page, but not the Reports or For Owners menu.
To not allow your home page to be viewed by guests, but rather only view the log in screen when accessing your league you can choose the settings to not make the league home page accessible to guests.
