Fantasy football (association)
Fantasy football (less commonly referred to as fantasy association football worldwide but known as fantasy soccer in the United States) is a game in which participants assemble an imaginary team of real life footballers and score points based on those players' actual statistical performance or their perceived contribution on the field of play. Usually players are selected from one specific division in a particular country, although there are many variations. The original game was created in England by Bernie Donnelly on Saturday 14 August 1971 and is still going strong 45 years later. Fantasy football has evolved in recent years from a simple recreational activity into a significant business due to exposure via the internet.
Fantasy Congress
Fantasy Congress is an online game structured like fantasy sports where data gathered about congress is converted into points. There have been multiple iterations. In the most common form of Fantasy Congress, players create teams of individuals elected to the US House and Senate. Members of congress acquire points based categories such as attendance, bills sponsored, and money raised. Like fantasy sports, teams compete in small groups called leagues. At the end of the "season", each team with the most points in their league wins.
