2008 is our 14th season providing the best, most comprehensive
fantasy football commissioner service on the planet, with customer
service that is unmatched anywhere!
In 1995 we introduced a simple website with a simple concept: Allow
fantasy football players to track their games completely via the web.
No downloading software, no scouring stats in a newspaper, no more
waiting days to get results. 13 years later we have evolved -- thanks
to your support and suggestions -- into the fantasy football service
thousands of leagues enjoy today. Providing services for users who
range from Majors in the Armed Forces to Major League Baseball players,
we have added tons of new features, rule enhancements, and much more.
This year is no exception.
Like yourself, we cannot wait for the 2008 NFL season to begin.
If you are a returning member, welcome back! If not, welcome aboard!
This page is provided for us to keep you posted on the latest
developments to our site, or to answer any popular questions (besides
those we answer in our Frequently Asked Questions -- "FAQs"
-- page.) If you have a question or are curious about
features of this site, look here and the FAQs page. Of
course, you are always welcome to send questions to us at support@rtsports.com,
or call us at 636-447-1170. We will be happy to talk with you about
our service.
Don't forget about our extremely popular King Of The Mountain contest game. Play for the $25,000 Grand Prize!
Just pick one winner per week, no spreads. If your team wins, you advance.
Last person left is "King of the Mountain" and wins $25,000! Too easy? Did we
mention you can only pick a team to win one time all season?
Congratulations to our 2007 winners:
Kele Coloma, "Duh Nah Nah", and Floyd Marshall, "Thug Life" were our $25,000 King of the Mountain Winners!
An Important Note About
Our RealTime Scoring
As you know we receive our stats
from the Associated Press. They get the scoring plays a few seconds
after the fact and updated game stats a few minutes later as the games
progress. This allows us to have your league's scores updated shortly
after the play actually happens, a favorite feature many of our users
enjoy.
However, there are some stats that will not be distributed
to us the by Stats LLC until after they are official, about 1 hour
after the end of the game. They are:
Tackles
Assists
Passes Defensed
Kickoff and punt return yardage
Other Important Notes
If you are a returning member your teams, rules, schedule, etc.
have been saved for this year. In addition, we have archived your
last standings, rosters, scores, and more. If you stated that
yours is a "keeper" league, then your last rosters will be present
this year. Unfortunately, it is impossible to archive everything
(such as all of your chat), due to its sheer volume.
If you are an owner or commissioner and have a personal account,
your password can be retrieved using the Forgot ID/Password link on our home page.
As always, we are offering our customers a 10% discount if payment
is made online or postmarked by August 15th, 2008.
We have been listening to our customers suggestions and are working hard in the offseason to improve your Fantasy Football experience. Check back often, this is just a sampling of things we are working on for this year:
