The player scoring categories 806 is used as input by the role module 810 along with a list of position role links 808 to determine a set of player scoring roles 813, i.e., a set of scoring roles associated with players on the user's roster. For example, in the example above, the user has two active players, a 49ers' running back and 49ers' placekicker. Running backs are associated by a position role link with a rushing role in an offensive playing category. Placekickers are associated by a position role link with a kicking role in an offensive playing category. Using the list of player scoring categories 806 for this example, the role module can locate a list of scoring roles 813 for the running back, e.g., “rushing,” and for the placekicker, e.g., “kicking.”
