Today, you can participate in a wide variety of fantasy sports contests around the globe. And until now, many people still wants to join a fantasy league. If you are new to fantasy sports, one of the first things you will want to understand is what type of fantasy sport league you are joining. Below is a list of the most common types of fantasy sport leagues.

Single-Season Fantasy League - Also referred to as a "single-year" league. These leagues follow a single-year format only and are the most common type league in fantasy sports today. None of the teams, rosters or information is carried over to the following season. New drafts are held every year prior to the upcoming season and totally new rosters are drafted at that time. This is the traditional league for most fantasy sports owners who like to start fresh every year with an entirely new group of players.

Dynasty Fantasy League - Also referred to as a "total-keeper" league. At the end of the season, each team's entire roster is carried over through the off-season. Teams are able to trade during the entire off-season to better their franchise. New players can be acquired during a series of off-season draft rounds, but the large majority of the team is kept in place from year to year. This type of league is for the serious owners only, as most of the owners in these leagues are fantasy sport fanatics. The league is geared for owners who enjoy managing their teams as much during the off-season as much as they do during the regular season.

Rollover Fantasy League - Also referred to as a "partial-keeper" league. Each team can "keep" a set number of players at the end of each season to be on their roster for next year. Anywhere from three to ten players are "rolled-over", depending on the sport. The remainder of the roster is then acquired via a new draft prior to the beginning of the following year. This league is perfect for the owners who enjoy the draft part of fantasy sports, but wants to keep a nucleus of players from year to year. Also, good league for an owner that has never played in a Dynasty league and wants to start out slowly to see if he/she enjoys keeping some of their players on a year to year.

One Day Fantasy League – this is a new type of fantasy sports league where in only a few fantasy sports site host this, like FantasyFactor. This is the type where you win prizes every day. No season long commitment, no bars. This is where starter can enjoy fantasy sports.

All of the fantasy leagues have their positives and negatives. If you are new to fantasy sports, I would recommend starting out in single-season league. As you learn more about fantasy sports and grow to enjoy the finer aspects of it, you may want to move on to a rollover or dynasty league. If you do decide to join a dynasty or rollover league, I cannot stress enough that you will need to be very prepared for your initial draft as these are players you are likely to have on your roster for several years.
