The 4 teams in each group play each other.  The two teams with the most points (win 3 pts, undecided 1 pt) advance to the next round.  If 2 teams have the same number of points, they look at their goal difference (goals made vs. goals against).  If that is also the same, they look at the result of the game played between the 2 teams.  If they played to an "undecided", then they raffle off the next round.  Sounds unfair, but what else is there - a "drink-off"??  THAT would be cool, though....

If you are in a Rotisserie  league, points are scored by how you rank in the designated statistical categories. The stats for the Goalie are Wins, GAA, SV%, and Shutouts. Your league may have some or all of those stats included in scoring. Check your league settings. \n\nFor example, if you are in a 15 team league and you lead the league in Wins, you get 15 points from the Wins category. If you're second in Shutouts, you get 14 points, etc. \n\nHope this helps.

under the new scoring method in figure skating, it is still actually possible to gain points when you fall during a difficult jump because you gain points based on difficulty levels, then lose a set number of points by falling (the TV commentators explained how one of the competitors gained a half point by falling down because they got 3.5 points for attempting a difficult jump and then lost three when she fell.)\nAlso, the medals are based on combined scores over many parts of competition (basic figures, short program, long program) and an error in one area can be partially made up for by superior performances in the other areas.

-Shot on goal\nWhen the puck is shot between the posts and under the cross bar.  Basically if the goalie wasn't there, the shot would go in.\n\n-Scoring chance\nThis is not an officially kept stat like goals and penalties.  These are tallied by the broadcaster.  A scoring chance includes: breakaway, odd man rush, penalty shot, empty net shot, etc....  It does depend, also, on who is tracking the stat.  This person may also consider a pass through the crease to an open winger who takes a one-timer to be a scoring chance.

goals scored by your team while you are on the ice is +1.  a goal scored against your team while you are on the ice is -1.  added up, that is your plus/minus ratio.  its a measure of the players presence on the ice.

My stattracker is showing that all my players are benched and it's not putting up any stats.  If you look at the NBA boxscores in yahoo it's showing the game score but nothing but zeroes for all the player stats.  I've seen this problem before and they should get it corrected soon.

Before todays game the position ware:\nItaly 3 points, Czech 3 points, Ghana 0 points, USA 0 points\nPending 2 games maximum 6 points to gain (3 points for the winner or 1 point for a draw), that means any posibility is posible (the teams with most points have less points that the points pending)\n\nAfter todays game the position are:\nItaly 4 points, Czech 3 points, Ghana 3 points, USA 1 points\nPending 1 game maximum 3 points to gain, that means any posibility is posible: any team adding the points could exceed the team with the highest point (given a specific combination):\n\nIf in the last game, one of these combinations happens then the teams that goes to the round of 16 will be:\nItaly win and will advance and  Ghana will advance if at least it has a draw\nItaly 7 points, Ghana 6 points, Czech 3 points, USA 1 point\nItaly 7 points, Ghana 4 points, Czech 3 points, USA 2 point\n\nItaly win and will advance and  USA will advance if it has a win (a draw is not posible)\nItaly 7 points, USA 4 points, Czech 3 points, Ghana 3 point\n\nItaly draw and will advance,  Ghana draw, then: Czech will advance with goal diference\nItaly 5 points, Czech 4 points, Ghana 4 point USA 2 points,\n\nItaly draw and will advance, Ghana win and  will advance: \nGhana 6 point Italy 5 points, Czech 4 points, USA 1 points,\n\nSo the odd needed for USA to have a chance to pass to the next round was the result of today, but next the USA needs to win against Ghana and Italy to win against Czech, because if Ghana wins or has a draw USA doesn't have any option to go to the next round.\n\nWhat would had happen if Italy had won today?\nIf Italy had won over USA, that would have mean: bye-bye USA and a trip to the round of 16 for Italy, because the positions would have been:\nItaly 6 points, Czech 3 points, Ghana 3 points, USA 0 points\nPending 1 games maximum 3 points to gain, that means any posibility is posible for all the teams excep USA, because adding the points to Czech and Ghana the result will be that Italy, Czech and Ghana all have 6 points, and we need to know the goal diference to define the winner and runner-up of the group.\n\nThat's way we have to wait for the outcoming of the next match to know who are the teams that go to the next round.\n\nCross your fingers .... and go USA

You receive scoring for all players in your active lineup, including the Utility position, regardless of where they appear in actual NBA games. Once earned, fantasy points and scoring are not removed even if the player is moved to the bench, waived, or traded to another team.\n\nBench players will not receive stats that count in your score. The purpose of the bench is to allow roster flexibility when players are injured, not scheduled to play, or are performing poorly. We keep track of their stats, which you can find located on your team page.\n\nYour head-to-head match-up screen always displays the current lineup for both teams. Stats can be displayed for bench players if they were active earlier in the week and later moved to a bench position. Since the stats were accumulated when the player was active, they are added to the match-up totals.\n\nPlayers picked up from free agency/trades/waivers only count in your stats going forward from the time you add them to your roster. You do not inherit those points and stats that the player earned while a member of another team.\n-nny

Erm, fantasy football would depend much upon which site you're registered to play on, and in which country you're living!\n\nGenerally, you pick a team of 11 (or more) players, which is usually restricted by a budget, or by only being able to pick so many players of a particular position.  The fantasy league will be linked to an actual football league on which you score points (for example if you're playing from the UK, you'd score points on the FA Premier League).\n\nYou then have to look at results of the games, and you'll earn points if the players in your fantasy team have scored a goal, or assisted a goal, or stopped the opposition from scoring if they are defenders / goalkeepers.\n\nThat's about the basics... but most sites will also allow you to transfer a number of players... meaning you can bring in people scoring lots of goals, and take out players who are injured!

A lot of things depend upon the answer you get.\n\nWhat are the categories?\nIs it a roto league? \nPoints league? Head to Head?\n\nHow many goalies are on your roster? \nAlways keep at least one backup in case of injury.\n\nFor the sake of argument, keep starting your primary goalies and see how your team is progressing. There's a lot of time left in hockey, 5 months. Don't make rash decisions too early.

I think it's the award for getting the most points in the NHL during the regular season. The team with the most points also gets home advantage in all rounds of the playoffs. I think there is also a reward of $250,000 for the players on that team.

It all depends on the league settings. In figuring out your particular league the relevant settings are scoring type, categories, roster changes, positions/bench spots/Max Games.\n\nThe biggest difference, in my opinion, between leagues is usually expressed in the scoring type. The two main scoring systems you'll see in FNBA are Rotisserie and Head 2 Head (some other FNBA formats will use "Point" scoring, but I don't believe this is offered by Yahoo! - please correct me if I am wrong). \n\nROTISSERIE Scoring: your team score is comprised of the sum of your rankings relative to the rest of the league across each individual category. The typical league will count 9 categories: FG% FT% 3PTM PTS REB AST ST BLK TO, some leagues choose not to count turnovers as often the most productive fantasy players are primary ball handlers and naturally get more turnovers. Let's make it easy and say you have a 10 team league with 9 categories. For each category, let's say PTS, all the teams in the league are ranked and given a score. So the team that has scored the most points across all of its active positions to that point in the season will get a 10, the next highest a 9, and so on. In a rotisserie league your score is cumulative throughout the season so really the only day that matters is the last day. Also point totals fluctuate a lot at the beginning of the season while teams separate themselves. \n\nIn a 10 team/9 category league, the most possible points a team could have would be 90. This would mean that they have the highest rankings in every statistical category (very unlikely). I am in two 10-team rotisserie leagues this season, and at this early point in the scores in both leagues range from the mid-20s to high 60s with the majority of the players around the 50s.\n\nSo, in essence, a rotisserie league has each team simulatenously competing against all the other teams in every individual category throughout the entire season. However if you were in first place through the entire season but somehow you fall into second on the last day, you still finish in second.\n\nHEAD TO HEAD: H2H teams will be more familiar to Fantasy Footballers. In this format your team is pitted against one opponent's team for an entire week. Your team's total contributions in each category are compared and you receive one point for each category you win. The categories won to categories lost ratio essentially becomes your team record for the season. Each week you go 9-0 (outperform your opponent in every category) or 0-9 (the opposite) or anywhere in between. At the end of the season the team with the most wins is the victor.\n\nEither Rotisserie or Head to Head formats can be played with a "playoff" structure in the final weeks of the season where the top teams compete for victory. Personally I've never done playoffs with Rotisserie, although I believe it is possible (please correct me if I am mistaken) however I've found it to be a fun twist at the end of a H2H season.\n\nCATEGORIES: It is important to know what categories your league is counting and try to pick up players who will contribute across multiple categories without seriously depriving you in any 1 category. You may find a player who gets 12 rebounds a game but scores 2 points and shoots a terrible FT%, this would not be as attractive a player as one who has a more even line (again, just my opinion). \n\nROSTER CHANGES: Leagues have either daily or weekly roster changes, with head to head leagues usually being weekly and rotisserie going either way. This is largely a matter of preference for the league. \n\nWeekly means is that your lineup will only be altered one day a week, typically Monday or Sunday. So what ever players you have starting on Monday will be your starters until at least the next monday. This more closely simulates a real team in that you won't get production every day since most teams have only 3 or 4 games a week. The disa

Actually cz was far more accurate. It is up to the last two people that pass it to the one who scores. If a defender touches it then that wipes out the passes. A goal can be UNASSISSTED or can have only one person get the assist. So it isn't the LAST TWO.

ok here is the break down:\nwin=3 points\ntie (or draw) = 1 point\nlose = 0 points\nin case there is a tie in points, then goal differential is used (goals scored minus goals against).
