  • Patent number: 8206214
    Abstract: A player roster interface is described. In one example, player roster interface logic includes display logic operable to display a playing region (which may include a graphical representation of a playing field associated with a sport) and player logic operable to display a plurality of players, wherein at least a portion of the players may be displayed within the playing region. The interface logic further includes selection logic operable to determine a player roster based on the position of the players relative to the playing region. Such an interface may allow a user to select and view a player roster (e.g., for a fantasy sports team) by positioning players within the playing region.

  • Patent number: 8105159
    Abstract: A player roster interface is described including display logic operable to display a table having a playing region (e.g., a first set of rows of the table) and player logic for displaying a plurality of players (e.g., names, thumbnail images, etc.), where at least a portion of the players may be positioned within the playing region. The interface further includes selection logic for moving a player within the table in response to a drag-and-drop operation. Displayed players may be moved within the table between the playing region and a bench region (e.g., a second set of rows of the table) to make changes to a roster and select a starting roster. Such an interface may allow a user to select and view a player roster (e.g., for a fantasy sports team) by positioning players within the playing region.

  • Publication number: 20070185599
    Abstract: In one example, a system for ranking sports players is provided. The system includes display logic operable to display two players from a plurality of players, and selection logic operable to store a selection of one of the two players by a user. The system further includes logic operable to rank the players based upon user selections of the players. The system may pair players, e.g., select a first player and a second player for display and selection by a user, based on their relative rankings. In one example, a first player is selected and the second player is selected based on the ranking of the first player such that closely ranked players are paired for selection by users with greater frequency than remotely ranked players.
