Fantasy sports

A fantasy sport is a game where fantasy owners build a team that competes against other fantasy owners based on the statistics generated by individual players or teams of a professional sport. Probably the most common variant converts statistical performance into points generated by a fantasy team, and are typically simple enough to be manually calculated by a "league commissioner." More complex variants use computer modeling of actual games based on statistical input generated by professional sports.

Some popular fantasy sports:

  • Fantasy Baseball
  • Fantasy Football
  • Fantasy Basketball
  • Fantasy Golf
