If you happen to have a question that you think should be included let us know

Is Rosterrier nhl fantasy easy to play?
Yes and no. Rules of the game can be mastered almost immediately, but to prevail against skilled competition can be hard. Rosterrier scales according to the way you want to play the game. You can spend 5 minutes or 5 hours per day planning your trades and strategies.
Who is the fantasy format intended for?
Anybody who wants to enjoy fun with friends or competition with other hockey fan(atics). Our rotisserie format though is better suited for people that like to strategize.
Is fantasy nhl a game of luck or skill?
Definitely skill - just look at our awards hall of fame. But luck is always present and all your trade decisions have risk involved. Good to be lucky, lucky to be good.
Isn't fantasy nhl gambling?
Not on our site, but who can stop you from having a little side wager on the season/playoffs winner of your league? We don't know and we don't care.

How are player prices calculated?
Player prices are updated after all games of the night are finished. Price will change according to change in player owners and difference between player's point average and his last night's performance. Ownership change represents pure market value, point average stands for intrinsic value of the player according to his averages. Price change is capped at 100k per day, so that prices keep stable and don't fluctuate hugely from day to day.
Do i loose a trade on buy-back?
No, you gain the trade back as soon as you put the original player on your roster
Do i get points for days with an incomplete roster?
No you don't. You have to have all spots on your roster filled, otherwise you will see the resulting points, but they won't get included in season totals.
When are the points for last night's games assigned?
Approximately 15 minutes after the last game is finished. It may vary depending on game reports availability.
Do I have to join a league?
No, you're perfectly fine staying outside and compete for the season totals with everyone
If I join late can I still participate in playoffs?
Sure, but you will be assigned to the loser bracket.
My players didn't get all their points, why is that?
Stats get re-downloaded and corrected automatically for a few hours after the games finished. If you don't get your points after 6AM EST, please do write us and we will correct it manually.
