Abstract

One aspect of the disclosure allows fantasy-sports league participants to receive video highlights of the players on their fantasy-league team. In at least one implementation, presenting player highlights includes receiving a request from a participant in a fantasy-sports league. The request is for player highlights related to a participant-specified team roster. In response to receiving the request, an identity of at least one player on the participant-specified team roster is accessed electronically. At least one video source having content relating to the identified player is accessed. Specific content within the video source that relates to the identified player is determined, and the specific content is presented to the participant.

generating a video information set, comprising a plurality of video clips, depicting activity in which the identified identity engaged; and

providing the video information set to the user.

40 . The system of claim 36 , further comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor for:

identifying a plurality of identities included in the fantasy team;

generating a video information set, comprising a plurality of video clips, depicting activity in which the identified plurality of identities engaged; and

providing the video information set to the user.

41 . The system of claim 40 , further comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor for:

determining that at least two identities among the identified plurality of identities were engaged in activity depicted in a single video clip; and

determining that the video information set comprises only one instance of the single video clip.

42 . The system of claim 40 , further comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor for:

receiving an indication of a category of fantasy activity information; and

determining that the video information set includes only video clips depicting activity that matches the category of fantasy activity information.

43 . The system of claim 36 , further comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor for:

accessing a fantasy activity schedule associated with the fantasy team;

identifying an opponent team that the fantasy team will compete against in the future based on the schedule;

identifying an opponent identity included in the opponent team;

accessing, with the at least one processor, opponent video information associated with the opponent identity; and

providing the opponent video information to the user.

44 . The system of claim 36 , further comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor for:

receiving a request from the user to share the video information with a different user; and
