PICKING YOUR TEAM
You will be allotted a “Salary Cap” for each Team you register. It is not necessary to use all of the Salary Cap as a requirement to play. The Salary Cap is the maximum number you may spend on athletes when picking a team.
PRICING
Each athlete has a predetermined price. As a season goes on, each athlete’s price will change with regards to the success or failure of that athlete. The original price that you purchase a particular athlete at will remain the amount against your salary cap until such time that you release said athlete.

SCORING
Athletes
An athlete on your team scores points for your team in the heats that they compete in. The athlete’s heat totals combine to make the athlete’s total combined score for your team. The further the athlete goes in competition (thus the more heats scored) the higher the score.
Team
Your team score is the combined total of all of your athlete’s total scores for an Event/Season.
Refer to the “How to Play” Page for detailed information on Scoring.
Automatic Advancement
Should an athlete in a Man vs. Man heat be advanced automatically due to another competitor not showing up, therefore not getting a heat score, FASL will average the advancing athlete’s heat scores to come up with a “heat average” for the advancing athlete. FASL will add the heat average for the “automatic advancement” heat to his other heat scores to create a total score for the advancing athlete.
