FantaMusic: the complete guide (everyone plays!)

FantaMusic is the “fantasy football” of the Syntartica Music Festival: you build your team of competing artists and earn points based on their real results. It’s free and open to all registered users. You’ll find it in the Festival Hub (https://inarte.it/os/?app=festivalFanta Music Team).

The basic rules

  • :one: Only one team per season
  • :money_bag: Budget: 100 fanta-credits
  • :busts_in_silhouette: A team of exactly 5 artists (chosen among those entered in the Festival)
  • :crown: 1 mandatory Captain

How to build your team

FantaMusic has 3 tabs: My Team, Market, Leaderboard.

  1. Go to the Market :shopping_cart: — here you find all competing artists. You can search them by name or track. Each artist has a price in credits (some cost more, some less).
  2. Add the artists :plus: — build your roster up to 5 artists, without exceeding the 100-credit budget.
  3. Name the Captain :crown: — pick one of the 5 as Captain (their score will count more — we’ll see how much in the next post).
  4. Check the status :shield: — in the My Team tab you see the remaining budget, how many artists you’ve picked (X/5), and a checklist: :white_check_mark: 5 artists, :white_check_mark: Captain assigned, :white_check_mark: budget respected.

How to save your team

To save you need: 5 artists, 1 Captain, budget not exceeded, and a team name.

  • :label: The team name must be unique (if it’s taken, the app helps you make it unique).
  • :scroll: You must accept the FantaMusic Regulations.
  • :locked_with_key: Login is required to save: you can build the team even without an account (the draft stays in your browser), but to save it and compete you must log in / register.

:alarm_clock: Mind the timing

You can create and edit your team only during the Festival’s Registration phase. When registration closes, the team is locked and you can no longer make changes.

:bar_chart: The Leaderboard

In the Leaderboard tab you see all fanta-teams ranked by total points (the top 3 highlighted gold/silver/bronze). You can also inspect other teams to see who they’ve fielded.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: In the next post we’ll see how points are earned, the Captain bonus, the milestone bonuses and the prize for 1st place.
