Fantasy Leagues

A league takes the same two-minute draft and runs it week after week against the same group of people. You draft a fresh roster every week — nobody is stuck with a bad August draft, and nobody can quietly stop playing without it showing.

The four formats

A commissioner picks the format when they create the league, and it decides how winning works:

• Standard — head-to-head matchups each week, with a win-loss record, points for and against, and playoff and toilet-bowl brackets once the season reaches the cutoff week.
• Weekly Leaderboard — no matchups. Everyone's roster is ranked by points for the week, and the highest total wins it.
• Survivor — the lowest-scoring roster each week is eliminated. Last player standing takes the league.
• The Floor Is Lava — a points threshold rises each week. Finish below the line and you lose a life; run out of lives and you are out.

How a week runs

Each week you draft a roster using the league's chosen mechanic — dice, wheel or trivia — and the league's roster shape. Rosters lock when the games begin, points accrue live from real box scores, and standings settle once the week is final.

NFL weeks finalise on Tuesday morning, after the last game is complete. College weeks finalise on Sunday evening, once the new AP Top 25 poll is published — the poll is what tells us the week is genuinely over. When the next week opens, everyone in the league is notified that they can draft again.

Injuries

Two tools, and a commissioner decides which are available:

• Injury reroll — a drafted player who is later ruled out, doubtful or placed on IR can be replaced, up to a set number of times per season.
• Injury handcuff — nominate a backup in advance from the same team and position. If your starter is ruled out by kickoff, the backup takes the slot automatically, including their points.

Commissioner tools

Whoever creates a league runs it, and has tools for the things that go wrong in a real group of people:

• Set the format, league size, and start and end weeks
• Build the roster shape. Rather than picking one of the standard formats, a commissioner sets each slot type themselves — up to four each of QB, RB, WR, TE, FLEX and SUPERFLEX, to a maximum of twelve slots. An all-quarterback league, a twelve-slot deep roster, or something with no tight end at all are all valid
• Invite by link or email, and set a password for private leagues
• Grant an extra reroll to someone who got a raw deal
• Hand a team to a different account — for someone who drops out mid-season, or signed up with the wrong email
• Edit a roster directly in Admin mode. Any pick changed this way is permanently labelled Admin change, so everyone can see it happened

That last rule is deliberate. Commissioners can do a lot, but nothing they do is invisible to the rest of the league.

Chat

Every league has its own chat, with reactions and an @everyone mention for when something actually needs the group's attention.

Prefer a shorter commitment? Tournaments settle in a few rounds. Scoring values are on the scoring page.
