== Types of Leagues ==
There are four major types of leagues: Redraft, Keeper, Auction, and Salary Cap leagues.
=== Redraft League ===
In a redraft league owners lose all the players they had from the prior season. During the draft, the owners are randomly placed into which draft position they will have. Redraft leagues follow a serpentine draft format. The serpentine draft format is where the draft order reverses on even rounds. The draft looks like this:
First round- a,b,c,d,e
Second round- e,d,c,b,a
Third round- a,b,c,d,e
=== Keeper League ===
In a keeper league owners get to keep a predetermined number of players onto their team for next season. A league where owners get to keep all of their players is called a dynasty league. After the first season of a keeper league, the draft follows the format of the NFL. Owners are generally able to trade their picks to other owners for players. Some leagues incorporate a salary cap into dynasty leagues to add to the "realism" of fantasy football. Where players are each assigned a salary and the owners are not allowed to go over the salary cap.
=== Auction League ===
In an auction league owners are generally given fake money to spend on players. Players are not drafted, but instead placed up for auction. Owners bid on the players they want and the commisioner takes the role of the auctioneer.
=== Salary Cap League ===
In a salary cap league owners are given a certain salary cap and the players are each assigned a certain salary based off of last years performances. In a salary cap league players can be placed onto multiple teams. There is no draft per se since owners just pick the players they want as long as they don't go over the salary cap. These leagues are meant for thousands of people to join compared to the other leagues which are meant for 4-32 owners. These leagues go by a rotisserie scoring to prevent players from playing against themselves.
