RULES

01ENTRY

  • $25 per entry, paid before your draft starts. Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, or Zelle to Alex Stout.
  • Twelve teams to a league. Leagues fill in the order people pay, and a new league opens only once the one before it is full.
  • If a league cannot reach twelve by the deadline, everyone in it is refunded in full.

02THE DRAFT

  • Twenty rounds, snake order, randomized by Sleeper in front of the league.
  • Slow draft with an eight hour clock that stops overnight from 11pm to 8am. A live fast draft replaces it only if every manager in that league can make the same window.
  • Run out of clock and Sleeper picks from your queue, so keep one stocked.
  • Every league drafts before kickoff on Wednesday, September 9.

03LINEUP AND SCORING

  • Eight starters a week: QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, and a FLEX of RB, WR, or TE.
  • Half PPR. Four points a passing touchdown, six a rushing or receiving touchdown. No kickers and no defenses.
  • Sleeper fills those spots with your highest scoring eligible players after the games are played.
  • No lineups to set, no waivers, no trades, and no roster moves of any kind once your draft ends.

04REGULAR SEASON WEEKS 1 TO 14

  • $100 to the highest scoring team in your league. Total points, not record.
  • Leagues run head to head, but records exist only for playoff seeding.
  • Four teams advance from every league: the two highest scorers, then the two best records among the remaining ten.
  • Record ties break by total points.

05PLAYOFFS WEEKS 15 TO 17

  • Every round starts from zero. Points do not carry between weeks, and nothing from the regular season carries in.
  • Half the field is cut after Week 15 and half again after Week 16. The final round never drops below three teams.
  • Week 17 alone decides the championship.
  • Standings go up after every playoff week so nobody has to take my word for it.

06THE MONEY

  • Every full league keeps $100 for its own winner and sends $200 to the overall pot.
  • The pot pays 60% to first, 25% to second, 15% to third.
  • Three leagues makes the pot $600, which is $360, $150, and $90. Four leagues makes it $800.
  • Paid out within 48 hours of the last Week 17 game.
