GymCastic Fantasy Gymnastics League
What Is It?
The main league is a season-long fantasy league for the 2024 NCAA gymnastics season (and we plan to continue into the domestic and international elite seasons).
Yeah, But What is Fantasy Gymnastics?
Fantasy gymnastics is your opportunity to play head coach and create your own lineups each week during the season to see if you can outscore your fellow gym nerds.
How Does It Work?
Select a lineup of 5 athletes on each of the four apparatus. You are given a fictitious budget of $75,000 to create your roster. The higher the ranking of the athlete, the higher cost to add them to your roster. Our current pricing structure:
Tier 1 – 10 gymnasts, $6,250
Tier 2 – gymnasts, $5,000
Tier 3 – gymnasts, $3,000
Tier 4 – gymnasts, $2,000
Tier 5 – Everyone else, $1,000
You can set your lineup once and see how it goes or you can modify your roster each week.
- Once logged in you should see a button that says Set Lineup.
- There's a dropdown menu to sort your selections by apparatus
- **IMPORTANT: Click "Finish" under your selected athletes to SAVE your lineup.
At the end of the week's competitions, we will update the scores within the system and you will be able to see how your team scored compared to everyone else within the league.
At the end of the season, the team with the highest cumulative points wins.
Do I Have to Spend All My Money?
No. You just can't go over the salary cap.
Can Everyone Draft the Same Athletes?
Yes. That also means if you want to separate yourself, you'll want to find those extra tenths wherever you can.
Can Friends Join?
Yes! Anyone can join. The league is open to all.
Can I Give My Team A Name?
Yes. Half the fun of fantasy sports is coming up with creative names... we may even reward our favorites.
Can I Start My Own League?
Yes. Create it and name it whatever you want. Your league will mimic the GymCastic league settings.
What Happens if An Athlete Competes Twice in One Week?
We're going to take the top score.
What Happens if an Athlete Doesn't Compete or They're On a Bye?
If the athlete is on your roster and they don't put up a score because they don't compete or are on a bye, unfortunately you get a zero.
I'm Late Here... Can I Still Join?
Yes. You can start playing at any time, but you likely won't find yourself atop the leaderboard at the end of the season. With that said, creating lineups is fun, so welcome aboard.
What Do I Get Out of It?
Aside from the fun of setting your lineups and seeing how brilliant you are... GymCastic is going to give away a free, full commissioned episode to the GymCastic League winner. If there are multiple winners, we will draw a name from the tied teams.
Lastly, this is new for us too, so we're brainstorming other prizes as the season gets going. More on that in the near future.
Anything Else?
We started this league for the community, so we want your feedback. Please send us an email (include Fantasy in the Subject line) or drop a note in the new Fantasy section on the Forum—where you can also chat with each other.

@evi-van-berkel Same for me. Also didn't get credit for Suki Pfister's vault.

Just curious if scores are still being updated? Hannah Horton’s floor score is still showing as 0.00 but the rest of my mizzou gymnasts scores are updated. This has been so fun already so thank you all for doing this!! 🙂

@sgreen3 and @gymcastic I had the same issue with the app, followed these directions, and it's working now!

Thanks for such a fun initiative - it’s really addictive! Just wondering if there has been an issue with week 2 scoring - or maybe it’s still being processed?
I should have around 149 for week two, but my whole roster is showing up as zeros (I did lock it in and press finish). There are a whole load of us with the code T-1059 who haven’t received credit for our rosters.
Thanks heaps!

@amanda-lane I am also having problems. I don't have all zeros, but Haleigh Bryant, Morgan Hurd, and Jessica Hutchison who all competed this week are showing up as 0s in my 2nd week. Only about half of my scores are updated. What is happening?

@dania-douglas I think perhaps it just takes a while to update all the scores - half my scores are in, but all FX and BB are showing zero. But the Fantasy League is such fun 🙂

@dee-morris Same- all my BB and FX scores are 0s (as of 6am Eastern 01/17). I dk if there's an issue or glitch bc the team at the #1 spot for week 2 shows a score of >100 and they also only have VT and UB (max possible should be 100). It looks like they have 30 picks somehow instead of 20?
Also, another potential for the platform to throw an error: if anyone had Utah gymnasts that competed both on the weekend and on Monday, which score counts for the week?

@GymCastic I have read through the FAQs top to bottom now after previously missing some key details other gymnerds were kind enough to share with me and I'm mostly on top of it now, but I still have 1 question- I had Sirena Linton on beam this week :(. She got a 9.150 and her score didn't count toward the team score. I see in my league scores she's a 0. If the score is dropped from the team total, will it always be recorded as a 0 in the league? Thank you in advance!

How do some people have over 400 points already?!

@gymcastic My week 2 scores are all filled in except it still says 0 for Kalyxta Gamiao on beam. Will this be updated later?

@gymcastic Victoria Nguyen's beam score is still a 0 in my results. She scored a 9.775. I apologize if you're still uploading scores. I just wanted to check!
