We're finally ready to roll with a new season of Fantasy League racing! The 12th season of racing will open this Sunday, March 17 with the first races being held the following Sunday. Hey, that's St. Patrick's Day! Kiss the Blarney for good luck and you might find yourself a champion.

Season opens March 17, first race on March 24.

The biggest change to the League this year is the addition of Teams. Team play has been going on in the forum for the past year but now it lives within the game with automatic stats, scoring and team management tools. Check out the new Teams section to get a pre-season overview. Also, game rules have been updated with team information and scoring. This new teams feature is in "beta" mode so it will get tweaked during the season as we all play along. There are still two teams without new captains, so please speak up if you're interested!

A few new achievements have been added for everyone to unlock including those related to being on a new team. Check out the achievement list for all the details and criteria.

The league acquired a bunch of new cars in the off-season from stores and kind donations. New cars will be added to the game over the next couple weeks, so keep your eyes open and save those game credits to unlock them all.

The schedule this season will be a little different to accommodate the team playoff schedule but there will still be 16 regular season tournaments and one championship tournament. For the Spring season, all the races will be run here in Ohio on the official Redline Derby tracks.

And last but not least, Tom's Diecast Cars is also returning as a tournament sponsor, so be on the look out for their prize tournaments throughout the season to win some cool diecast cars.

Lets all make this a great racing season online and offline. Thanks for your continued support. Happy racing and good luck!

So if you are not on a team you can't play?

Nope, just register and play...but it helps if you can tune-in to your 'diecast zen' and let the winning cars pick themselves.

You can absolutely play without being on a team, that's how most players will experience the Fantasy League. The game will in no way be crippled or limited to non-team players. The Teams feature adds a new way for some players (captains) to enjoy the game.

Tournament and season prizes are still per individual player.

At this point, unless you're a captain you don't really have to worry about teams. Of course, if you get drafted to a team or are on the winning team at the end of the season, you will unlock some achievements and earn more credits that you can use to unlock more cars.

Why be on a championship team when you can be on the multi-second place kings Team Firebirds!!! With us, you can feel the rush of victory when we send the Javelins back to the dark ages where their crappy AMC car belongs! After we win this season, your name will be immortalized in the stars of time! If the Javelins win, you'll just be another name on their chalkboard...
