The fantasy football carryover rule was instituted in the early years of fantasy football. This rule states that for the championship game in their league, both fantasy football coaches may add the any additional points accrued in the previous week’s semi-final win.
Example: Coach 1 wins the semi-final matchup 101 to 75 and Coach 2 wins the semi-final matchup 126 to 100. In both cases, each coach may “carryover” an additional 25 points into the championship game.
This rule was established so that Neal Wollenberg could win the 2019 Labrats Fantasy Football Trophy.
