About
GymCastic Fantasy Gymnastics League FAQ
Who are we?
GymCastic is the No. 1 gymnastics podcast in the galaxy!
What Is It?
This is a FREE Regionals weekend fantasy game for the 2026 NCAA National Championships.
Yeah, But What is Fantasy Gymnastics?
Fantasy gymnastics is your opportunity to play head coach and create your own lineups each week during the regular season to see if you can outscore your fellow gym nerds.
Can Everyone Draft the Same Athletes?
Yes. That also means if you want to separate yourself, you'll want to find those extra tenths wherever you can.
Can Friends Join?
Yes! Anyone can join. The league is open to all.
Can I Give My Team A Name?
Yes. Half the fun of fantasy sports is coming up with creative names... we may even reward our favorites.
Can I Start My Own League?
Yes. Create it and name it whatever you want. Your league will mimic the GymCastic league settings. Private leagues are not subject to GymCastic prizes.
What Do I Get Out of It?
Aside from the fun of setting your lineups and seeing how brilliant you are... GymCastic is giving away a free mini-commissioned episode to the winner. If there are multiple winners, we will draw a name from the tied teams.
Anything Else?
We started this league for the community, so we want your feedback. Please send us an email (include Fantasy in the Subject line) or drop a note in the Fantasy section on the Forum—where you can also chat with each other.
Scoring
How Does It Work?
Select a lineup of 6 athletes on each of the four apparatus plus the all-around (six up, five count). You are given a fictitious budget of $100,000 to create your roster. The higher the ranking of the athlete, the higher cost to add them to your roster. Our current pricing structure ranges from $1,000 to $7,500.
We will count the highest score of each athlete. So if an athlete advances to the second round we will count their highest score (not the cumulative). If an athlete is eliminated after one round then that will be their highest score.
At the end of the week's competitions, we will update the scores within the system and you will be able to see how your team scored compared to everyone else within the game.
The team with the highest cumulative points wins.
Do I have to spend all my fictitious money?
No. You just can't go over the salary cap.
Winning: The person with the highest score at the end of Nationals wins a free mini-commission episode.
