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.

Looks like Ashley Knight (NC State) is not available for Vault or Floor! Going for an all front tumbling team and would love to have her!

@gymcastic thank you so much! You guys are doing a great job and I know it's a lot to get the data in. With that caveat, I'm only sharing the next part bc it doesn't sit right in my spirit to be publicly loud about when my score is too low but then not tell you when my score is too high 😂. I have 5 tenths more than expected, but will continue to check in as scores update. Appreciate y'all!

Apologies if scores are still being entered, but it looks like most everyone else is done and in. I still have Hannah Horton's vault at a 0.
Thanks for all the effort to put this together! 🙂

It appears that scores have been updated but I still have Isabella Minervini's bars at a 0 and she had a 9.875

@laura-leventer We were doing some backend work and the scores got wonky for a second.

Hi Gymcastic Fact-Checker! I noticed a few scoring discrepancies for this week I thought you might like to know about and look into.
Missing scores
It looks like the Beam score of Aubri Schwartze (SUU) and perhaps some other scores from the Utah meet on Monday haven't been uploaded to the teams. Although she had a rough routine, it's still 9.125 points higher than a zero!
Incorrect Scores
There may be others, but these are the ones I noticed on my teams:
Leanne Wong (UB): Fantasizr score: 9.925, actual score: 9.825
Lily Smith (UB): FS 9.925, AS 9.875
Emily Shepard (UB): FS 9.80, AS 9.775
Jaedyn Rucker (VT): FS 9.80, AS 9.825
Makenna Smith (UB): FS 9.90, AS 9.85
Selena Harris (UB) FS 9.95, AS 9.925
Sierra Brooks (UB) FS 10, AS 9.90
Cassie Stevens (UB) FS 9.85, AS 9.80
Faith Torrez (UB) FS 9.925, AS 9.85
Thanks for all you are doing! This new format for FantasyGym is super fun this season! Thank you!!!

...and I've just seen your post about the crowdsourcing spreadsheet, and I entered these changes in there! Thank you!

I can't figure out how to get started...when I click on "visit league" it takes me to fantasizr but I don't have an account yet...do I set one up there? And then will I finally see the "join public league" button from there?

Is there a way to see schools' line ups before the fantasy picks lock for the week? The first two weeks I've gotten numerous zeros from people not competing on the events I selected them for and I'm not sure how to fix this situation. Longtime gym nerd, collegiate gymnastics newbie here 🙂
Thanks!

For Week 2, I've got zeros for gymnasts who definitely competed. Some of the 0's have been updating sporadically, but some have yet to update. Is that a fixable issue?

@linzerz Hi Linzerz. Yes. This is all fixable. Please let us know what scores are missing in a reply here or you can drop them in the crowdsourced spreadsheet.

@butterflychicka Most teams don't share their starting lineups until right before the competition begins--and then they'll share them on social media.

@sizemoreac Yes, you'll need to set up an account with Fantasizr. It will then ask if you want to set up a private league or join a public league. You'll want to join the public league. I hope this helps and apologies we didn't see this post sooner.
