HOME/FANTASY LEAGUE RULES
COMPETE WITH CLEAR EXPECTATIONS

The rules of your season.

Understand how fantasy rosters, drafts, scores, trades, waivers and playoffs fit together. Commissioners should confirm the final settings with their league before draft night.

ROSTERS

Starting positions

A conventional starting lineup has a quarterback, two running backs, two receivers, a tight end, a flex RB/WR/TE, a kicker and a defense. Fantasy points count for selected starters, not the whole bench.

Lineups and scoring ↗
SCORING

Three scoring formats

Standard, half PPR and full PPR change reception scoring. Commissioner-adjustable touchdown, interception, fumble and yardage settings can also affect results.

Understand points ↗
DRAFTS

Snake or auction

In a snake draft, order reverses each round. In an auction, managers bid fictional league credits for nominated players. The commissioner selects the format before play.

Prepare for draft night ↗
PLAYER MOVES

Trades and waivers

Trades require a valid player on each of two teams and an accepted offer. FAAB waivers use sealed fictional-credit bids; free agency can use immediate moves when that mode is configured.

Waiver rules ↗
POSTSEASON

Make the playoffs

After fourteen recorded regular-season weeks, eligible teams can enter a seeded bracket. The supported playoff field is two, four, six or eight teams, depending on league size.

Bracket rules ↗
FAIR PLAY

No cash competitions

The current product does not provide cash entries, betting, or monetary prizes. Fantasy credits are simply an in-league budget. Any commercial services require additional approvals and terms.

EVERY LEAGUE IS UNIQUE

Your commissioner sets the final format.

This guide explains the software. To see the binding options for an existing league, sign in and open its Commissioner or League Settings page.
