ABSTRACT:
This invention provides systems and methods for providing multiple user support for shared user equipment in fantasy sports contest applications. A fantasy sports contest application may allow users to setup unique user accounts, in which user specific information such as, for example, identification information, fantasy sports contest participation information, user preference information, or any other suitable information associated with the user, may be stored. The application may personalize fantasy sports contest information and displays for the user. Local fantasy sports leagues may be created for users of common user equipment so that they may compete against each other.
