Abstract
Systems and methods of conducting a fantasy sport contest are disclosed. According to some embodiments, the fantasy sport contest is provided for participants to join. The fantasy sport contest includes one or more fantasy teams where each fantasy team includes a multiplicity of real-life players. A player adjustment value (PAV) is determined for each of the real-life players. Accumulated statistics of the real-life player during real-life games are converted into a baseline fantasy score according to a baseline scoring system. The baseline fantasy score is adjusted according to the real-life player's PAV to produce an adjusted fantasy score of the real-life player.
Claims24
A method of conducting a fantasy sport contest for a plurality of participants to join, comprising:
- for each of a plurality of real-life players in a player pool, the player pool comprised of real-life players available for selection by a fantasy contest participant;
- determining, by at least one server, a baseline fantasy value of the real-life player, the baseline fantasy value indicative of a projected fantasy score of the real-life player, and
- determining, by the at least one server, a player adjustment value (PAV) for the real-life player based on the baseline fantasy value of the real-life player, the PAV determined to make adjusted fantasy values of the real-life players more equal;
- for each of the plurality of participants, receiving, by at least one server over a network from a plurality of clients, a selection of at least one of the plurality of real-life players;
- during at least one real-life game:
- converting, by the at least one server, statistics of the selected real-life players for the at least one real-life game into baseline fantasy scores according to a baseline scoring system, and
- adjusting, by the at least one server, the baseline fantasy scores of the selected real-life players according to the determined PAVs to produce an adjusted fantasy score of the real-life players for the at least one real-life game.
A data processing system, comprising:
- one or processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to processors to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations for conducting a fantasy sport contest for a plurality of participants to join, the operations comprising:
- for each of the plurality of participants, receiving a selection of a at least one real-life player in a player pool, the player pool comprised of real-life players available for selection by participants in the fantasy sport contest;
- for the selected real-life players;
- determining a baseline fantasy value of the real-life player, and
- determining a player adjustment value (PAV) for the real-life player, the PAV being a value such that application of the PAV to the baseline fantasy value of the real-life player would result in an adjusted fantasy value of the real-life player, the adjusted fantasy values of at least some of the real-life players being more equal;
- converting accumulated statistics of the selected real-life players during a real-life game into a baseline fantasy score according to a baseline scoring system, and
- adjusting the baseline fantasy score of the selected real-life players during the real-life game according to the determined PAV to produce an adjusted fantasy score of the real-life player.
