Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer software implemented system and method for operating a fantasy contest application and platform designed to enable contestants to enter fantasy contests against the house. A single contestant enters a solo, head-to-head contest against the house operated by the fantasy contest platform, and a winner is determined based on comparison of a contestant lineup fantasy scores to a house lineup fantasy scores, based on performance metrics of real-world competitors and competitions (e.g., football, chess, NASCAR). The house typically provides between three to ten different fantasy contest lineups, of between three to ten competitors depending on the type of competition or sport, at any time for selection by contestants. Contestants select competitors for contestant lineups based on a salary cap.

Abstract: Baseball catcher's protective handwear including a catcher's mitt and an improved non-connected inner glove for wearing inside the mitt, the inner glove including (1) a tactile palm-surrounding portion which leaves at least the little finger, ring finger, middle finger and thumb substantially uncovered, (2) a supple index-finger portion that has padding affixed thereto over the phalanges, and (3) padding affixed over the metacarpal region of the palm adjacent to the index finger, thereby to provide continuous protection to the most crucially-vulnerable parts of a baseball player's hand, while simultaneously providing properties of gripping-finger-and-thumb freedom, glove-interior surface feel and in-mitt hand adjustment closely similar to that of a naked hand inside an outer glove.
