Why do I have to pay to watch the stream/media content?
There are a lot of obvious and not-so-obvious costs that come with the upkeep of a site like this. Providing the best experience possible is a common goal among all the TLN staff. The cost of membership is only a small return on a very large investment of money and time made by the owners of this site. Please show them your respect, even if you are not a paying member. If you have any other questions, please message Heuer89 (http://thelannetwork.com/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=467) and he will either answer them if he can, or find someone who can.
What memberships are available, and what and when am I charged?
You can buy a Premium Membership at the cost of $5.99 / month plus a one time sign-up fee of $4.00 -- The $5.99 charge reoccurs every month and is the best overall value.
Before and during a LAN you may purchase a Stream Pass for that LAN that lasts until the end of the LAN for a one time charge of $9.99
You can also find the Membership terms and Renewal, Cancellation, and Refund policy here:

What are the rules for the site/forum?
The terms of service, to include the Code of Conduct can be found here:

How often do they stream?
It varies. Every scheduled LAN lasts for one weekend, usually before events. Other than that, you may see pros stream matchmaking from time to time of their own accord. When no one is playing, the stream may be occupied by several viewpoints of a rebroadcast from a previous LAN. The frequency of putting these rebroadcasts up is something we are striving to improve upon.
How are fantasy teams drafted?
For a 6 Team LAN, each fantasy division consists of six users. So for every six users that submit their picks, those six are then put into one division within the fantasy league. Once the ability to select your picks closes, our system automatically drafts players to create the fantasy teams. This drafting order is determined by the order of which each user was put into that specific division. Hope this makes sense and helps answer your questions!
In the near future our fantasy league will have many new features including a drafting application similar to other professional fantasy sports - so stay tuned!
