The Quick Stats program will be used to download weekly stats into the Fantasy Football Assistant Program. Additional stats may be obtained from the internet via http://www.nfl.com There will be a charge of $7.00 per team to cover the cost of the stats program that is will be collected before the start of the draft. If at anytime a dispute should arise as to league scoring a complaint must be made to the commissioner and if need be will be corrected before the beginning of play of the following week. If a dispute should arise that cannot be decided between the commissioner and fantasy team a majority rule will decide. The Fantasy Football Assistant program will most likely have to be tweaked to fix any unforeseen errors during the first week of scoring so please report any errors you find ASAP.
