Yes, although there are over-all rankings and prizes and like that. When you go to the private group, you see only the members in the groups and their standings relative to one another. You have a tiny message board and you can compare your picks with the other members and stuff like that.

You can belong to any number (including none) of private groups once you register with the site.

After that I get too confused as to who's on what team and the different passwords.
I seem to recall that once you've joined a private group, you get to it without having to know the password. I stay logged on to the main site all season, so I only have to remember my site password once.

Where does the money come for these prizes if it is free?

Newspaper Agency Corp. I seem to recall that some of the prizes are gift certificates and the providers get a free plug on the site. I'm old enough to remember when they'd give you greeting cards or dishes or something if you agreed to take the paper.

Have you registered, Pam? If they charge you anything or even want your credit card number, don't give it to them. Maybe you'll get an e-mail urging you to subscribe to the Trib AND the DNews. The two newspapers have their banners around on the site and if you click them, you will go to Newspapers' web-sites.

Default It's on! (think I've used up my quota of exclams for today)

Hi all,

I've got the LDS.net.NFL private group set up on UtahFantasySports (aka the Trib and the DNews). Click here and you'll go to the site where you can login or register.

Once you're registered, send me a message and I'll message back the group name (it's LDS.net.NFL) and the password (hint, if you want to try without the message: who is a mutual friend here on the forum of ALL of us? OK, her name all in lower case).

Naturally,
R.O.

PS. There were 6 charter members to whom I have sent the password.

Here's a thought: why not send a private message to all of your friends you'd like to see play (friends in the general sense).

I'm looking at all my friends now. (won't take long)
