How to Play
You are the Team Manager for a major Surf Corporation. Your job is to put together the best Surf Team possible with a $150 Million Salary Cap. You can cut, drop and trade surfers, you just cannot go over the $150 Million Salary Cap.
After you have registered your Team you are allotted your $150 million Salary Cap. You can fill up to 10 spots on your Team Roster using your $150 million Cap.
Starters
The first 8 Team Members selected to your Team make up your “Starting Lineup”. Your total Team Score of an Event will be the combined total of all of your Starters Scores. (See Scoring Points below)
Alternates
Your 9th and 10th selections to your Team make up your “Alternates”. Should one of your “Starters” not show up for an event, your 1st Alternate will automatically take a “Starting” position and add to your overall Team Score. Should a second “Starter” not show up for the same event, your 2nd Alternate will automatically take a “Starting” position and add to your overall Team Score.
If you're registered to the “Season” Game you may also use the Alternate spots on your Team for injured or sick Team Members that you know will miss an event, but do not want to trade due to losing Value on that Team Member. It is the Player's responsibility to move any Surfers in the Alternate position back to the starting line-up after they have been swapped.(See “Season” Game Values below)
Values
Each Surfer’s price is based upon the inverse ratio of their seed for that event. For example, the 1st Seed (currently Kelly Slater) is valued at $36 million, the 2nd Seed (currently Jordy Smith) is valued at $35 million. The value continues to go down as you go down the Seedings until you get down to the 36th Seed valued at $1 million.
Season Game Values
As the year goes on, Surfer’s Seeds and therefore Value will change. The original price that you pick up a Surfer at is the amount that counts against your Salary Cap. For example, let’s say you picked up Adriano de Souza for your team for Event 1. He currently sits in the 10th Seed position and is Valued at $27 million. By the 5th event he has moved up to the 4th Seed and is now valued at $33 million. By holding on to Adriano, he still only counts as $27 million against your Salary Cap, but someone picking him up for the 5th event would have to pay $33 million.
If you trade a Team Member, you have to buy them back at their “current” Value (Price).
Save Team Button
Once you have drafted your team make sure to click the Save Team Button.
Revert Team Button
If you have made some trades and are not satisfied with your new team you may use the Revert Team Button to automatically change your Team back to your original Team (your last Saved Team).
Trading
Trading is locked during events. You will be able to draft and trade in between events.
Scoring
The Surfer's actual Heat Scores in each Event count toward your FASL Team Score. Because of the unfair advantage of the loser’s being able to surf an extra heat in Rounds 1 and 4, Fantasy Action Sports Surf League only Scores the Winner's of each Heat in those Rounds. (This eliminates the loser’s advantage of receiving an additional heat to surf.) Every other Round, all Heat Scores count towards your FASL Team Score.
