      <title>Maximum Fantasy Sports Brings Variety to Fantasy Football Cash Leagues</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">While Salary Cap fantasy football leagues dominate the headlines, Maximum Fantasy Sports is providing many other options in their Online Draft leagues. Not only is Maximum Fantasy Sports paying out 90 percent of their prize pool, but they have configured season-long fantasy football leagues in ways that no one competitor offers.</p><p>Chicago, IL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/29/2016 --  Maximum Fantasy Sports is breathing additional life into the fantasy football industry by providing unique games for their customers to play. In an industry dominated by DraftKings and FanDuel and their salary cap games, Maximum Fantasy Sports is separating itself by offering games utilizing an Online Draft and configuration options that no one site offers.  "Fantasy Football has always been more enjoyable when a live draft is a part of team-building.", states Bill Parsons, President of Maximum Fantasy Sports.<br />
<br />
For those players interested in playing in <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="public fantasy football leagues" href="http://www.publicfantasyfootballleagues.com/">public fantasy football leagues</a> for fun or for a cash prize, MFS offers enough games that you will find yourself trying out a few different game types to spice up your NFL viewing. "Salary Cap games in fantasy football have been around for decades, but the majority of players enjoy the thrill of a Live Draft, which is not a part of a Salary Cap game. All of our games have a draft component to it for extra enjoyment and to help level the playing field. Drafting takes the fear of swimming with fantasy sharks out of the game.", explained Parsons.<br />
<br />
The fantasy football games offered at <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="MFS" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/">MFS</a> are listed below and come in a variety of entry fees/payouts with drafts scheduled throughout July, August and September. Payout amounts differ with the entry fees but are always 90% of the total pot collected. Playoffs begin in week 14 and also feature a Toilet Bowl for all Head-to-Head leagues. You can find a full description of each <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="public fantasy football league" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/Join-Public-Fantasy-League.aspx">public fantasy football league</a> on the site for the following league types.<br />
<br />
- Traditional leagues – 10-team head-to-head league featuring the most widely-accepted positions and scoring system: 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 D, 1 K.<br />
<br />
- Traditional Flex leagues – identical to the Traditional league except that flex positions are used; an extra starting position with a RB/WR Flex position and 3 WR/TE positions in place of the WR positions.<br />
<br />
- Traditional <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="2-Week" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/Admin/RulesEdit.aspx?RuleID=81">2-Week</a> leagues – this league is identical to the Traditional Flex Live Draft league except that 4 teams make the playoffs and each matchup runs for 2 weeks each with the highest combined points winning.<br />
<br />
- PPR leagues – this league resembles the Traditional Flex league but the scoring system awards a point per reception and rushing and receiving TDs drop to 4 points each with bonuses awarded (extra 1 or 2 points) for longer TDs.<br />
<br />
- TD Only leagues – this league is a big departure from Traditional fantasy leagues and harken back to the days of scoring on paper when the Commissioner made life easy on himself and only needed to score points for Touchdowns. TD points vary with the distant of the touchdown.<br />
<br />
- <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="League Average" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/FAQ-120/Features#H">League Average</a> leagues – this league resembles the Traditional Flex league but the twist in this league is that you will receive 2 Win/Loss decisions per week; one versus your H2H opponent and one versus the League Average (the average score of all starting lineups in the league for that week). This league type awards higher-scoring teams more than standard H2H.<br />
<br />
- <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Bye Week Rollover" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/FAQ-120/Features#D">Bye Week Rollover</a> leagues – this league resembles the Traditional Flex Live Draft league but the twist in this league is that you will be able to choose players the week before they are on Bye and their game has started and determine if you want their points for that week to also carry-over to their Bye week, thus locking in two weeks (good or bad).<br />
<br />
- <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="In-game change" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/FAQ-120/Features#A">In-game change</a> leagues - this league resembles the Traditional Flex league but the twist in this league is you will be able to change players at the quarter or half, depending on which league you join. This helps if you have a player that gets hurt or is underperforming in his game. Of course, each period is locked once we receive the first play in that period and you will only be able to replace open periods with another player&apos;s open periods.<br />
<br />
- Total Point leagues – this league resembles the Traditional Flex Live Draft league but the twist in this league is that the standings are based off of the total points accumulated over the course of the season by your starting lineup. This league truly awards the highest scoring team.<br />
<br />
If you prefer a Live Online Fantasy Football Draft, there are many Public leagues available to augment your own Private leagues and free Survivor, Confidence, Pick em and Squares Pools at Maximum Fantasy Sports along with a nice deposit bonus and high payout rate.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Bill Parsons<br />President<br />Maximum Fantasy Sports<br />Telephone: 773-531-4294<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/710405">Click to Email Bill Parsons</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com">http://www.maximumfantasysports.com</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=710405&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <title>Maximum Fantasy Sports Releases 2015 Daily and Weekly Fantasy Football Contests</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Maximum Fantasy Sports offers Daily and Weekly contests that do not involve a Salary cap to provide variety to the fantasy football industry.</p><p>Chicago, IL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/13/2016 --  Maximum Fantasy Sports (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com">http://www.maximumfantasysports.com</a>) has released their Daily and Weekly Fantasy Football Leagues with cash payouts for the 2015 football season. Full descriptions of these leagues can be found on their website&apos;s <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Public League Rules" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/Rule-72/FANTASY-FOOTBALL-Public-Leagues">Public League Rules</a>. Maximum Fantasy Sports was built with the ability to configure fantasy football leagues with complete flexibility. They have leveraged this flexibility to create non-standard Daily and Weekly contests to provide more enjoyment to the fantasy football participant. Instead of being handcuffed by a salary cap, participants can play in contests that utilize an online draft or building teams via the available player pool to add an additional level of strategy in how best to assemble a team. <br />
<br />
"Fantasy football appetites have grown dramatically in recent years and many customers want more fantasy football options during the NFL season. Both die-hard sports fans and casual players are experimenting with alternate formats to complement their full-season fantasy football season. These players are turning towards short-term fantasy leagues but are either intimidated by Salary Cap leagues or completely turned off by the barrage of constant annoying commercials. We give them league options that are more enjoyable to play." said Bill Parsons, President of Maximum Fantasy Sports.  <br />
<br />
Full configuration of all leagues are found on the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Open Leagues" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/OpenLeagues.aspx">Open Leagues</a> page.<br />
<br />
- Traditional leagues – a Total Points league featuring the most widely-accepted positions and scoring system: 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WR/TE, 1 RB/WR swing, 1 TE, 1 D, 1 K. You can find draft and non-draft leagues of different sizes and fees/payouts. <br />
<br />
- PPR leagues – a Total Points league that resembles the Traditional league but the scoring system awards a point per reception and RB/WR TDs drop to 4 points each with bonuses awarded (extra 1 or 2 points) for longer TDs. You can find draft and non-draft leagues of different sizes and fees/payouts. <br />
<br />
- TD Only leagues – a Total Points is a big departure from Traditional fantasy leagues and harken back to the days of scoring on paper when the Commissioner made life easy on himself and only needed to score points for Touchdowns. TD scoring only is what you will find here so you won&apos;t have to worry about drafting any idiot kickers. TD points vary with the distant of the touchdown. You can find draft and non-draft leagues of different sizes and fees/payouts. <br />
<br />
- Injury-Proof leagues – a Total Points league that resembles the Traditional league but a Team Quarterback is used in place of an individual QB, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="In-game changes" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/FAQ-120/Features#A">In-game changes</a> are allowed by Half and you can add 2 players to your bench. It is strongly recommended to use a bench RB and a bench WR from late games as injury replacements should one occur early enough in his game to allow for changing his 2nd half. Roster changes are made from the Game Roster link on the Team home page. The twist in this league is you will be able to change players at the half. This helps if you have a player that is hurt or underperforming. Of course, the first half is locked in already and you will only be able to replace the second half with another player&apos;s half that is currently open (either first or second half). You can find draft and non-draft leagues of different sizes and fees/payouts. <br />
<br />
- 4-week Frenzy leagues – 10-team Live Draft Total Points league that runs for 4 weeks. These will be staggered throughout the year for those looking for a shorter-term league that requires more skill than luck to win. The league set-up resembles the Traditional league but an additional starting RB/WR swing position is added and the scoring system matches the standard except for ranges for the kicking and defensive statistics. The leagues that will start in week 1 will end in week 4, when the Bye weeks begin. Leagues that are fully immersed in Bye weeks will have the Bye Week Rollover feature added to their league configuration.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Maximum Fantasy Sports is offering Free Fantasy Football Commissioner Leagues until the end of June in celebration of the MLB-leading Chicago Cubs.</p><p>Chicago, IL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/13/2016 --  Maximum Fantasy Sports (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com" href="http://www.maximumfantasysports.com">http://www.maximumfantasysports.com</a>) is riding the Chicago Cubs bandwagon and is offering its Commissioner Fantasy Football Leagues for free to anyone creating a league using the Promotion Code of CUBS16 throughout the month of June.<br />
<br />
"We are caught up in the baseball excitement found on the North Side of Chicago this season. The Cubs were tantalizingly close last season to ending a curse that is over a century old and we are riding along this season to watch them break through to the World Series." said Bill Parsons, President of Maximum Fantasy Sports. "We have plans to run additional Cubs promotions in our Daily Fantasy Football leagues this fall and definitely a promotion for October for our Monthly Fantasy Football contests that will coincide with the playoffs and World Series.", added Parsons.  <br />

      <title>Maximum Fantasy Sports Unveils Lingerie Football League FanZone</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Maximum Fantasy Sports releases its FanZone social application for the Lingerie Football League. </p><p>Chicago, IL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/04/2011 --   Maximum Fantasy Sports and the Lingerie Football League formed an alliance in 2010 to help co-promote their complimentary businesses. The first such step is the LFL FanZone application. The FanZone is a Lingerie Football League specific social networking application providing a platform for the League, Teams and Players to communicate directly with their devoted Fans. Twitter may provide a voice for NFL players to communicate with their legion of following fans. However, it is not a good vehicle for actually interacting with players and getting to know them at 140 characters at a time. <br />
<br />
Within the FanZone, Fans will be able to personally connect with LFL coaches, staff and the Commissioner in addition to following and interacting with their favorite team(s) and players. Fans also have the ability to interact with one another; sharing pictures from games, tailgates, photo sessions,… Fans can get all the LFL GameDay information before it hits the wire, GameDay Tailgating Tips, Team Scouting Reports, Injury news and much more.<br />
<br />
Maximum Fantasy Sports offers NFL fantasy football leagues and has a member base that largely overlaps with the Lingerie Football League&apos;s member base and vice-versa. With this symmetry, this alliance is a perfect match. "Our developers built the best fantasy football product in the business, so building a quality social application seemed like a walk in the park" said Bill Parsons, Maximum Fantasy Sports owner.<br />
<br />
With the LFL FanZone in place in early July, Fans have over a month to follow the training camps of each LFL team as they work towards the opening game of the 2010 season in Seattle that matches the Los Angeles Temptation visiting the Seattle Mist at the Showare Center. Fans can register for the FanZone application at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.lflfanzone.com/" href="http://www.lflfanzone.com/">http://www.lflfanzone.com/</a>.<br />

      <title>It's Alive! Fantasy Football Lives Again!</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The registration period for Fantasy Football leagues, Survivor Pools, Confidence Pools and Pick 'em Pools is open.</p><p>Chicago, IL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/09/2009 --   Maximum Fantasy Sports has opened registration for its fantasy football leagues and pools for the 2009 NFL season.  After years of adding configuration options that other sites have copied or have yet to figure out how to implement, Maximum Fantasy Sports has decided to focus on simply optimizing and enhancing its current offerings.  After reviewing the Fantasy Football Features that Maximum Fantasy Sports currently offers, one has a hard time thinking of options that are not present.  Below is a small list of options not found on competing sites.<br />
<br />
- In-game changes <br />
- Bye Week Rollover <br />
- Team QB <br />
- Flex Positions <br />
- Public Leagues with payouts <br />
- Trade Draft positions<br />
- Loads of other customizable options <br />
<br />
In 2008, Maximum Fantasy Sports began hosting NFL Confidence Pools, Survivor Pools and Pick &apos;em Pools for free.  They are continuing that act of generosity in 2009.  One other constant is their innovative Live Draft control.  It is very easy to use, allows co-owners to participate in the draft simultaneously and allows multiple players to draft from the same computer without swapping logins.  Additionally, Maximum Fantasy Sports has the only pre-ranking system that uses player position rankings established prior to the draft by the team owner.<br />
<br />
In 2009, Maximum Fantasy Sports is releasing an iPhone App for members to access their fantasy leagues as well as Public leagues with a higher buy-in to satisfy those looking for higher payouts.  The prices that Maximum Fantasy Sports charges for their Public and Private One Season and Keeper Fantasy leagues remain the best bargain prices in the business when considering the configuration options available.
