Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for an active roster of a fantasy sports team in a fantasy sports league. In one aspect, a server computer receives, over a network from a user computer operated by a user managing a fantasy sports team in a head-to-head fantasy sports league, an active roster of players, bench players, and an inactive roster of players. The inactive roster includes players that are assigned by the user to not accumulate points during a predetermined period of time and who cannot become bench players or part of the active roster during the predetermined period of time. The server computer determines points earned by each player of the active roster of the fantasy sports team. The server computer transmits to the user computer the active roster, the bench players, the inactive roster, and the points earned by each player of the active roster.
