Abstract
A method and apparatus for playing football. The football game is played on a computer system and is based upon actual football performances by a database of football players. The computer football game is played by a league of individuals, each of whom can individually, or in groups, own a franchise. Franchises select their players from an initial draft. The starting players are then selected by individual franchise owners. Wins and losses for the computer football games occur by calculating a total of each individual player's points who make up a team. The calculation of points is done automatically either manually or using actual weekly performance by individual NFL players as the basis for determining points.
