Logins

• Why does it say "Invalid Login"?
  There are several reasons why you might be getting an "Invalid Login" error message:
  • Set your CAPS LOCK key correctly. Passwords are case sensitive (meaning that "PASSWORD," "PaSsWoRd" and "password" are not equivalent), so be sure to keep this in mind when entering your password.
  • Sign in with your e-mail address and password. You may verify your e-mail address and retrieve your password here
• I've played Fishing Challenge previously. Why doesn't the login page allow me to log in?
  Since this version of the game is brand new, everyone who has played in the past will need to sign up again before they will be able to log in.

• How do I remove my account?

• I am 17 years old or younger. Can I play the game?
  Thank you for your interest in FLW Fantasy Fishing. However, the rules state you must be of legal age in the state in which you reside. In most states that is 18, so this means you will not be eligible to play until then. The best you could do at this point would be to have a parent/guardian sign up, and you could play by helping them out.
  
  The tournaments run from February through August, so if you turn 18 sometime in between, you can begin playing at that point.
2. In the My Profile section, just have links that are "here" or something similar rather than the entire url.
• My mobile carrier is not listed. What should I do?
  Please send us a message and provide your mobile carrier, and then we will add the carrier.
• Is a credit card the only way to pay?
  Yes, for now. We might implement a system to accept mail-in checks in the future.

My Leagues

• Do I need to create my own league?
  You are not required to create or join a league; league play is for your own pleasure to compete among your family and friends. You will just need to sign up and pick your roster to be eligible to win prizes.
• How do I invite my family members and friends to join my league?
  Please log on to your FantasyFishing.com account and click on the "Send an Invite" link, located on the "My Team" profile section, and enter your friends' e-mail addresses. The invitation e-mail will include the League ID and the password: http://www.fantasyfishing.com/users/league_invite.cfm

My Rosters

• When will I be able to pick my roster?
  The tournament roster will be available on Jan. 15, and you may begin selecting your roster at that time.
• I have selected all of my 10 anglers. Do I need to do anything else to confirm?
  No, you don't. Once you have selected all of your 10 anglers, which must be picked before the deadline of any given tournament, you will be entered into the contest automatically.
• Will walleye tournaments be available for the game?
  Currently, we only have the game for bass tournaments on the FLW Tour.

Player's Advantage

• When will Player's Advantage content be available?
  Player's Advantage content will be available on Jan. 15, the date the first tournament's official roster becomes available.

General

• Can I have more than one account with FantasyFishing.com?
  No. Each player is limited to one account with FantasyFishing.com. Player's that create or signup more than one time may be disqualified. See official rules for more details.
• Do I have to re-register for each tournament?
  No. Register one time and we'll take care of the rest. Use the same account to create a team for each tournament.
• How do I play this game anyway?
  Good question. Just follow this link to our Fantasy Fishing 101 and we'll help you get started.
• Can my spouse and I both play the game?
  Of course. Just remember, only ONE entry per person. Any player found to have more than one entry will have all of their entries nullified and will not be eligible for any prizes. See official rules for more details.
• How do I collect my prize if I win?
  A representative of FLW Outdoors will contact you with details regarding prize distribution. Just sit back and relax (and gloat) and we'll make sure you are taken care of.
