Fantasy addict? A dedicated boyfriend who’s desperate to spice up his TV obligations? Or maybe just a diehard fan of the jitterbug and salsa? Regardless of your reason(s), The Roto Street Journal has your back with our newest fantasy offering: Fantasy Dancing with the Stars. Just as we’ve done with The Bachelor, Survivor, and Game of Thrones, we’ll be bringing the thrill of drafting, scoring, and trash-talking to America’s favorite dancing competition. We’re stoked to welcome Shamus onto Roto Street as the resident dance guru. As a professional ballroom instructor who couldn’t be more passionate about his field, he’ll bring top-notch expertise for your draft prep and weekly in-season coverage. Don’t miss out! But first, the set up. Read on and figure out how to create your very-own Fantasy DWTS League!

Recommended number of owners: 2, 3, or 4 (evenly divides the 12 contestants)

Scoring: Celebrities earn points two ways - Judges’ Scores and Placement. Judge Scores: You earn whatever points the judges award your celebrity that week, for as many weeks as they last. Example: Rashad Jennings scores 7, 7, and 8 after a solid merengue. You get 22 FPs.

Note- As the season progresses and contestants are eliminated, celebrities will get multiple dances per episode. To prevent this from tilting the balance too much, your dancer will receive whichever score is their highest that night.

Placement Points: Being likable is half the DWTS battle, and convincing America your vote-worthy gains you points in the following order:

Last Place = -20 FPs

10th or 11th = Zero FPs

9th, or 8th = 20 FPs

6th or 7th Place = 30 FPs

4th or 5th Place = 50 FPs 

3rd Place = 70 FPs

Runner-Up = 85 FPs

Winner = 100 FPs Draft:

Snake draft, so the last pick goes twice in a row. Example: 1, 2, 3, 4 4, 3, 2, 1 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1
