You can create up to five groups, any combination of which may be private, public, and Fans Of Groups.
Private groups allow you to personally invite only those friends or colleagues you want to join. Each private group is limited to 500 members. To join someone else's private group, you must get the group ID # and password from the group creator.
Public groups allow anyone to join your group. To join someone else's public group, you must find that group in the Group Directory or receive an invite from a group member. Each public group is limited to 500 members.
If you don't have a whole group ready to sign up, join one of our Fans Of Groups and compete with like-minded fantasy fans from around the world.
All users can join up to five total groups (any combination of private, public, and Fans Of groups), but can only associate one of their brackets with each group. For example, if you have joined the "Fans of UCLA" group, you are only allowed to assign one bracket to that particular group. If you later join a Private group you are allowed to create a different bracket than the one made in the "Fans of UCLA" group. Therefore, you can create a bracket in each of your different groups.
Note that public and private groups may use a custom scoring system. But all users, regardless of group affiliation, are tracked on the overall leaderboard using Yahoo!'s default scoring system.
