The purpose of the game is to accumulate the most playdough during the 12 regular season fantasy football weeks. Each fantasy team has a stock symbol and stock value. Members of the Sez Stock Exchange have the option to purchase and sell shares of any fantasy team stock with their current playdough allotment. Each week, the stock value of each team will change based on game statistics and roster changes. Buy low and sell high! Stock prices will rise or fall incrementally between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday. The game will begin after the scoring deadline for week 1 and end on the scoring deadline for week 12 based on the league schedule. Once a player joins the Sez Stock Exchange, he/she receives 10,000 playdough allowing the option to buy/sell from/to (transaction) the Exchange containing an unlimited pool of stock for every team. Each transaction will have a playdough fee based on the number of shares and a flat rate. As much as your liquid assets allow, you may make an unlimited number of transactions. There is currently no limitation to the number of stock shares a player can purchase of their own the fantasy team. In the future, to prevent insider trading, the purchase of own team stock will be limited to 20% of the outstanding shares. |

After logging into the Sez Stock Exchange, click on the Buy Stock or Sell Stock links at the top to execute the appropriate transaction. You may initiate a transaction at any time but execution of the transaction will only occur while the market is open. The market is open between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM EST, Monday through Friday (weekdays). Any transaction made outside of these hours (while the market is closed) will be saved (as a pending transaction) and executed at 9:00 AM on the next business day at the opening asking price. Note that the previous day closing price may not be the same as the following day opening price for pending transactions. All players will purchase stock at the asking price and sell stock at bid price (may be different). If you wish to change the number of shares for a pending transaction, you may submit another transaction against the same stock with the same or opposite action prior to the 9 AM execution time of the next available execution date. The exchange will cancel any pending transaction when it goes to execute it if the appropriate funds are not available. |

When buying stock on the Sez Stock Exchange, you pay the asking price multipled by the number shares plus a transaction fee. When selling stock on the Sez Stock Exchange, you pay the bid price multipled by the number shares plus a transaction fee. Every transaction is subject to a flat and share-based transaction fee. The flat fee for any transacation is 1 playdough. The share-based fee is 0.02 playdough per share. Hence for the purchase of 10 shares at an asking price of 50 playdough, the transaction fee would be 1 playdough (flat) plus 0.20 playdough (share-based) for a total transaction cost of 1.20 playdough.Once a transaction is executed, it may take up to 30 seconds for the transaction to update your profile. If your profile is not updated after that time, you may have attempted to purchase stock at a total cost greater than your current playdough or you may have attempted to sell more stock than you own. Both attempts will result in a warning message on the website. Please remember the transaction fees when making a purchase as the total cost may exceed your liquid assets. |
