That's right, ladies and gentlemen- registration for the Season 6 Lost Fantasy League is now officially OPEN! Season 6 will bring Lost to a close, so this is your last opportunity to take part in the LFL.
If you haven't signed up for the LFL in the past, it's really quite simple. All you need to do is fill out the registration form linked at the bottom of this post. You will need to include a valid email address and a unique team name. You will be able to select what Lost website you frequent most often and you must select one character from each of our seven character groups to build your team.
NOTE: EMAIL ADDRESSES WILL NOT BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED OR OTHERWISE RELEASED TO ANY THIRD PARTY ADVERTISERS. THE SOLE PURPOSE OF INCLUDING AN EMAIL ADDRESS IS SO WE HAVE A MEANS OF CONTACTING YOU IF YOU WIN ONE OF OUR FABULOUS PRIZES.
Once you have selected your Fantasy Roster, written down who is on your team, and submitted the registration form, relax! All you have to do is enjoy watching Lost while DarkUFO and I do all the legwork. Once you have submitted your team, you WILL NOT be able to make any changes. Your team remains the same all season long and the characters on your team will earn you points depending on what they do during each episode.
We have made some changes from the Season 5 LFL, including the elimination of the absentee deduction! Be sure to check out each section below before you fill out the registration form.
We cut back on the number of characters quite a bit this year. A total of 22 characters from the Season 5 LFL were cut and 8 exciting new prospects have been introduced! This year's new characters include:
Stuart Radzinsky- The bespectacled control freak who designed the Swan station and helped cause the incident.
Ana Lucia Cortez- The former cop and deceased Tailie who has appeared to Hurley in a vision.
Charlie Hume- The son of Desmond and Penny Hume and grandson of Charles Widmore.
Ilana- So new she doesn't even have a last name yet! She knows what lies in the shadow of the statue.
Naomi Dorrit- Mancunian and deceased freighter posse member has appeared several times since her death.
Bram- Also new enough to not have a last name yet, Bram is on team Shadow-of-the-Statue.
The Man in Black- He's been masquerading as Locke for half a season and has been labeled with several interesting nicknames by the fans.
Carole Littleton- Claire's mother and Aaron's grandmother, she's currently got the tyke in her custody while Kate searches for Claire.
We've also done some tinkering with the point categories! We have eliminated two point categories while adding two brand new ones. You'll now get points if members of your team visit the Temple or say the title of an episode and you will no longer lose points if your characters are absent! We've increased the point value of 8 different point categories, while reducing the value of two slightly.
Finally, we're going to add a little excitement to this year's LFL. Before registration closes and before any spoilers come out, I will be randomly selecting three episodes from Season 6. During these three episodes, all point values will be doubled! The Season 6 premier and finale will be out of the running for these double-point days.
As you can see, we've chopped back the number of character groups from 8 to 7. Most of the characters who were cut were the ones who haven't showed up in either Season 4 or 5. These character groupings are based on a combination of their performance in the Season 5 LFL and our best guesses as to the potential level of involvement in Season 6. There's always a few surprise "over-performers" each year and you no longer lose points is a member of your team is absent, so don't be afraid to take a few risks!
There weren't too many changes with our point categories. We eliminated the absentee deduction altogether and changed a few of the point values as well. Be sure to look over these categories, as they may help you pick your team. The rules will all remain the same as they were in Season 5 (if it ain't broke, don't fix it!) but a new rule book will be released in the coming weeks. (Click on the chart to see it larger)
Just like every year, the top three contestants at the end of the season will win some fabulous prizes!
First Place- Season 6 DVD and Soundtrack Second Place- Season 6 DVD Third Place- Season 6 Soundtrack
Last year we had nearly 5,000 contestants taking part from all over the world. Let's see if we can break through that barrier and make this the biggest and best Lost Fantasy League yet! Tell all your friends and follow us on Facebook too!
woohoo I signed up too. my first LFL. I've been following the league before and thought it was fun. I chose characters that I like, not necessarily the characters that will score a lot of points but I wanna see how it turns out in season 6. can't wait!
Quick question and if I missed this than I apologize. With MIB parading around as Locke, do these appearances count as MIB or Locke? I guess that question would be directed towards any other characters that may be impersonated/possessed by other characters next season as well. This is my first time, thanks for your help.

Characters only earn points for things they themselves do, not if someone manifests their form. Locke doesn't earn points for things the MIB does while in his form. MIB does earn points for that stuff though. Hope that helps!
I also want to know what mcmaistro is asking. Can you just let us know how this whole impostor thing will play out on the points system? Because if someone were to take over Locke's body, then that wouldn't count as Locke......or would it? I'm Lost...
I took part in season four, but missed out in season five -- so I'm looking forward to playing again in season six! Even though, as people have said, there is so much up in the air regarding the characters.
I have a question for you guys. A lot of people are theorizing that Man in Black/FLocke/Man #2/Esau is actually the smoke monster. Personally, I don't believe that is the case. But in case I'm wrong, how will scoring be done if they do end up being one and the same?
There is no deadline. The forms will be closed once we start getting major spoilers in for next year. So we could shut the forms down tomorrow or in a couple of months.
Sorry. I may have overcomplicated the question I posted a few minutes ago. If Man in Black and Smokey turn out to be the same entity, how will they be scored? I'm very curious about this. Thanks in advance!
If Man in Black and Smokey turn out to be the same entity, how will they be scored?
If the Man in Black turns out to be the Smoke Monster, then both MIB and Smokey will have their scores adjusted so that they have identical scores for the entire season. Hopefully that makes sense. :-)
Hey Dark, just letting you know that the 'submission received' email i got says: "Thanks for your entry into the Season 5 DarkUFO Fantasy League." (instead of Season 6)
Do you guys track IP addresses, I hope? It just occurred to me that someone could create literally dozens of phony e-mail accounts, and enter a ton various teams, in an attempt to win this thing. Is there some kind of safeguard against this, I'm hoping?
My first time to play the LFL here. Man this is going to be crazy hard to choose! Btw, it's really awesome that you guys "do all the "legwork." Courtesy much appreciated.
Just a confirmation... the same thing that applies to Man in Black applies to Jacob as well if he takes someone else's form, right ? For example, let's say Charlie Pace comes back, does a bunch of stuff, and then six episodes later, we discover that he was really Jacob... all those points would then be switched from Charlie to Jacob, right ?
Thanks for removing the absentee deduction. I think that doubling the points in three episodes is a terrible idea though. The characters whose episodes those are will get a lot more points than they deserve for the season.
A question: Saying the title of an episode means any episode, right? Not just that week's? So if anyone happens to say "adrift" they get five points. In that case, would "pilot" count? That wasn't really a title, it was just an untitled pilot episode.
Oh my - these groups this season are killers! I've printed off the groups and the points and will take my already blooming headache and pick in a few days. Yikes. This will be hard. Hope everyone has fun with this!!! Gonna be an awesome season. Guess we'll be needing tissue boxes by our TV's for the season.
I'm very happy with the character groups. took me like 10 seconds to decide which characters to pick. I wish I was more creative with the team's name though...
well I guess nth will top 'Keamy's group of killers' anyway ;)
"If the Man in Black turns out to be the Smoke Monster, then both MIB and Smokey will have their scores adjusted so that they have identical scores for the entire season. Hopefully that makes sense. :-)"
Sorry just to clarify this further, I take it they'll both still earn points individually? For example, if they're one and the same and MIB goes into the water I'll get 2x 5 points?

If it is revealed that the MIB is Smokey both characters will continue to earn points even though they are the same person/thing. We're not going to eliminate one's points or the others if this happens to be the case. So if you have both Smokey and MIB on your team you will still get points for each. Smokey and MIB would just have matching scores if this turns out to be the case.
Wow G, you got this together fast! This is a tough one, I must say though I do like the new ruling of not losing points for absent characters. Very interesting these groups are, inside info regarding group 7? :)
I signed up a good week ago if I remember right. I got the message that it was submitted at the end, but never got an email confirming it. There is no junk folder in use on my email, so hope it did work.
I have created 2 groups with the same email and in the same computer. Are they going to be banned? Should I create them again but with different emails?
Afraid not, you can only have one entry per person. Duplicate entries will be automatically deleted unless you let me know which one you want to keep. The first one will be kept by default and the others removed.
My dad signed up not too long ago w/ a team name of "Island Hopping", but just after he submitted we came up w/ a much catchier name for my team, especially since Kate is the first character on his list:
"Flight Risk"
Is there anyway he could get his LFL team name changed to "Flight Risk"? I know it's probably a lot to ask considering how much prep you're doing, and how many signups you've had thus far, but I had to ask for him.
My bro signed up as "It's Hurley Time!" and I just saw in a commercial for ABC that Jimmy Kimmel suggested that as a catchphrase to Jorge :D
G-Man or DarUfo, would you tell me the approximated registration deadline? (about a week, ten days, two weeks, etc...) ThanX!! y que les garúe finito german...
Nocolino, the deadling could be in 5 minutes or 1 month. As soon as any spoilers come in for Season 6 we will close the registration down. You're advised to get your teams submitted ASAP.
Dark, since G-Man is I'm sure swamped w/ preparing for the LFL (and therefore hasn't responded to either me or my dad), is there any way you could switch the name of his team?
I don't understand the "League Site" option. It lists several websites I enjoy, and I wouldn't want whatever points I may or may not get go to only one of those and not others. I also don't get what one site would get over others if I pick one over the... what is all that about anyway? I can't fill this thing out until I understand that part of it better and I don't want to miss the deadline. Who might be able to illuminate the situation?
i share and internet connection with three other avid lost fans (one router/IP though)....we tried to agree on a team for a 'team effort' but that DID NOT WORK AT ALL :)
so basically me and my sis have signed up, but my bro is shit and is trying to hold one over us by choosing last which won't make a shit of a difference anyway! haha
i'm going to say he has to do it from an internet cafe cuz your only allowed two per IP address haha ...deserves it for his wankery :D shhhh
Submitted!! I'm the mellowed hippie gang! did everything work out with my form andy? because its the last time i will be able to enter the fantasy league and i dont wanna mis it. :(

Hm, it says my email adress is not valid. :(
Drop me a mail mate
Yeah its doing the same thing to me.
Try again, I've fixed it I think :)
I got through okay. So excited--haven't played before!
Welcome aboard Evan! The LFL is a lot of fun and you don't even have to do any of the work! I hope you have fun with it!
woohoo I signed up too. my first LFL. I've been following the league before and thought it was fun. I chose characters that I like, not necessarily the characters that will score a lot of points but I wanna see how it turns out in season 6. can't wait!
Thanks GMan for the wonderful job of pulling this all together so quickly. Nicely done.
Good luck all

This season could be really hard to plan the LFL. We don't even know if they changed something in the future, or how it'll play out.
Thank you very much

I know! Every year has involved a good bit of guess work, but the S6 LFL was the hardest yet!
I also want to know what mcmaistro is asking. Can you just let us know how this whole impostor thing will play out on the points system? Because if someone were to take over Locke's body, then that wouldn't count as Locke......or would it? I'm Lost...
Yep it works now :)
The site for registration doesn't want to load for me :(
I'm excited to take part in my first one!!
I picked Locke as an act of faith :D
Though, if he does come back, I feel i'd be quickly in the minuses with killing.
When is the registration deadline?
I took part in season four, but missed out in season five -- so I'm looking forward to playing again in season six! Even though, as people have said, there is so much up in the air regarding the characters.

Hmm... I picked MIB as well as Walt. Anyone else get the feeling these guys will make or break the league?
Sorry. I may have overcomplicated the question I posted a few minutes ago. If Man in Black and Smokey turn out to be the same entity, how will they be scored? I'm very curious about this. Thanks in advance!
Yay! I missed out by a month or so on finding DARKUFO before season 5. I'm so excited about the LFL. JIN FTW!!!
@Matt I really hope Walt is involved. I went for him too.
It's great you took out the absentee deduction. *thumbs up* :D
If Man in Black and Smokey turn out to be the same entity, how will they be scored?
If the Man in Black turns out to be the Smoke Monster, then both MIB and Smokey will have their scores adjusted so that they have identical scores for the entire season. Hopefully that makes sense. :-)
yaaay
i've always wanted the category "says the title of the episode" =))
Ben and Jack in the same group??
this one's tough!
Hey Dark,
just letting you know that the 'submission received' email i got says:
"Thanks for your entry into the Season 5 DarkUFO Fantasy League."
(instead of Season 6)
Ah thanks Steff, just a typo on my part :)
oh I didn't get the'submission received' email
I hope I got it right :x
That makes perfect sense about MIB and Smokey. Thanks G-Man!
I truly hope those two aren't one in the same, though :)
Well the last two LFL I picked who I liked the most, and well, I crashed and burned.
This year, I'm choosing based on who I think could get the most points! Maybe that'll actually work!
Awesome job as always guys. Also, I'm writing my dang team down this time. I always forget.
@DarkUFO and/or G-Man,
Do you guys track IP addresses, I hope? It just occurred to me that someone could create literally dozens of phony e-mail accounts, and enter a ton various teams, in an attempt to win this thing. Is there some kind of safeguard against this, I'm hoping?
Don't worry, any duplicates will be deleted and the users banned from participating :)
just signed up & very excited cuz this is my first time to play!
ok here goes
Good to know! Thanks, Dark!
My first time to play the LFL here. Man this is going to be crazy hard to choose! Btw, it's really awesome that you guys "do all the "legwork." Courtesy much appreciated.

Oh, I also meant to say that I choose characters I like, because I want to root for them and not that #%&$*(!# I can't stand.
How can I be Jacob and See Jacob? With a mirror?
First time for me too :) Now all we need is for season 6 to start of course P:
Yep, it's going to be a long wait, but we have the Episode and Character Cup to Look forward to :)
I think Claire should be on the first or the second character group!!!
I got a wee bit confused by the celebrity thing until I hoevered over it ad realised what it was for.
Sometimes my stupidness concerns me!
I'm very excited about this - it's my first one because I just missed the last two.
Although doing this makes me realise just how ong and agnonising the wait for S6 is going to be!
This will be my first year taking part. I can't wait to see how this all pans out.
Oh my - these groups this season are killers! I've printed off the groups and the points and will take my already blooming headache and pick in a few days. Yikes.
This will be hard. Hope everyone has fun with this!!! Gonna be an awesome season. Guess we'll be needing tissue boxes by our TV's for the season.

well I guess nth will top 'Keamy's group of killers' anyway ;)

Sorry just to clarify this further, I take it they'll both still earn points individually? For example, if they're one and the same and MIB goes into the water I'll get 2x 5 points?
If not, I may have just wasted a category! :)

You said duplicate entries from the same IP will be banned, but my brothers and I (3) used the same computer for our entries... is this ok?
Wow G, you got this together fast! This is a tough one, I must say though I do like the new ruling of not losing points for absent characters. Very interesting these groups are, inside info regarding group 7? :)
Is there any chance of adding a website? I might have a bunch of people interesting in participating.
Also, I'm worried about the IP thingy, same as kp315. I live in a dorm and I share my IP with as much as 250 people!!
I got 2 emails did i accidently send the form twice??
hey! Can non US viewers take part? thanks Dark!
Yep, everyone across the world can take part :)
I miss Annie. I was holding out hope I'd be rewarded for being one of the few people crazy enough to pick her. I get it though.
Thanks for putting this together!
Yeah, my sister and her husband also used the same computer to sign up. Are their entries going to be okay?
Yep, as long as you use different email accounts that will be fine.
Dark, I signed up recently and filled in the celebrity thing without realising what it was (silly I no)
Will that be a problem?
Thanks
LOL Matt, no worries at all.
I signed up a good week ago if I remember right. I got the message that it was submitted at the end, but never got an email confirming it. There is no junk folder in use on my email, so hope it did work.
I have created 2 groups with the same email and in the same computer. Are they going to be banned? Should I create them again but with different emails?
Daniel, just drop me an email and let me know which one you want deleted and I'll sort it out :)
Actually... I want them both. :P Is this possible? Or should I make the second group with another email address?
Afraid not, you can only have one entry per person. Duplicate entries will be automatically deleted unless you let me know which one you want to keep. The first one will be kept by default and the others removed.
OK! You can remove the last group and keep the first one, as you said.
Thank you very much for your quick answer!
maybe a dumb Q? but... what did the celebrity code mean?
The Celeb Code is for site owners, just leave this blank.
Great video G-man... I was ROFL.
was that yahoo i saw? seriously? yahoo? i googled yahoo and only came up with gullivers travels.
G-Man,
My dad signed up not too long ago w/ a team name of "Island Hopping", but just after he submitted we came up w/ a much catchier name for my team, especially since Kate is the first character on his list:
"Flight Risk"
Is there anyway he could get his LFL team name changed to "Flight Risk"? I know it's probably a lot to ask considering how much prep you're doing, and how many signups you've had thus far, but I had to ask for him.
My bro signed up as "It's Hurley Time!" and I just saw in a commercial for ABC that Jimmy Kimmel suggested that as a catchphrase to Jorge :D
Thanks!
P.S. I had him send you an email to the same effect so that you know he himself wants the change, and in case you don't see these comments.
G-Man or DarUfo, would you tell me the approximated registration deadline? (about a week, ten days, two weeks, etc...)
ThanX!!
y que les garúe finito german...
Nocolino, the deadling could be in 5 minutes or 1 month. As soon as any spoilers come in for Season 6 we will close the registration down. You're advised to get your teams submitted ASAP.
Dark, since G-Man is I'm sure swamped w/ preparing for the LFL (and therefore hasn't responded to either me or my dad), is there any way you could switch the name of his team?
Pretty please? :)
Sure, drop me an email with all the details and I'll sort it.
Help I lied... I said I wrote down my team but I didn't... what do I do now? I thought I'd get an e-mail but no such thing... :(
I don't understand the "League Site" option. It lists several websites I enjoy, and I wouldn't want whatever points I may or may not get go to only one of those and not others.

i'm going to say he has to do it from an internet cafe cuz your only allowed two per IP address haha ...deserves it for his wankery :D shhhh
we have separate e-mail accounts, but i'm going to make him do that anyway...
ps - none of us have competed before :) so it has become something of a major diss-off at home 'who will do the best'!
ps - hopefully me
:D
Submitted!! I'm the mellowed hippie gang! did everything work out with my form andy? because its the last time i will be able to enter the fantasy league and i dont wanna mis it. :(
So I kind of entered two different entries by accident...and i don't want to get banned. How does one resolve such issues, Dark?
Just drop me an email me with the details and I'll sort it out :)
