How to Play :: American Water Heaters Fantasy Homerun Game

Just 6 easy steps and you'll be enjoying the best Home Run Fantasy contest online . . .

Step #1: Create an Account
Head over to the registration page and complete the information to create your own account. Why do we collect all that info? So we can contact you if and when you win a prize. Don't worry, we don't give out your information to anyone!

Step #2: Research the Teams

Each week Athlon Sports rates every team in Baseball and then provides you with 5 groups of 6 baseball teams, weekly news items about the Major League Baseball. We also provide links on the picks page directly to each "team page" on AthlonSports.com, where you can research past history, rumors, schedules, results and more.

Step #3: Make Your Picks

When you're ready to make your picks, click on the Make Picks tab and select a team from each of the groups presented. Be sure to keep your accumulated value points less than or equal to 23 points. Finally, predict the number of home runs that the designated team - we use a different team each week - will during the round (we use it as a tiebreaker) and then click "Submit Picks." Simple.

Step #4: Check Your Picks History

As soon as you submit your picks, you will be brought to a confirmation screen and will also be emailed a copy of your selections. The confirmation screen is your receipt that you have made picks and we've recorded them. Feel free to print it out. If you want to be doubly sure, you can check the Picks History page, where each round's picks will be displayed.

Step #5: Check the Standings

After the week is over, log back in and check the Standings page. While you'll know as soon as you login how you did from the Statbox (usually located in the top right corner, providing points and rank for the most recent round and cumulative), you should check the Standings page to see who finished above and below you.

Step #6: Challenge Your Friends

Looking for something a little more personal? Go to the Leagues page and create or join a Challenge League. Each league can have from 5 to 100 members in a league and you can belong to up to 5 leagues. They also have a private message board so league members can talk smack while competing head to head. There are no prizes at stake, but bragging rights can be worth an awful lot!
