League Guide

How scoring works, league format, and how to submit changes.

Scoring Formula
Every touchdown and field goal is scored the same way.
Points per scoring play
⌈ yards ÷ 10 ⌉ × position multiplier
⌈ ⌉ = ceiling (always round up). No minimum yardage — even a 1-yard TD scores.

The further a TD travels, the more it's worth — but the scoring unit is every 10 yards, rounded up. A 23-yard run counts as 3 units. A 21-yard run also counts as 3 units. A 30-yard run counts as 3 units. A 31-yard run counts as 4 units. Position multiplier is then applied on top.

Player Play Yards Math Points
Saquon Barkley RB Rush TD 23 ⌈23÷10⌉ = 3 × 4 12
Josh Allen QB TD pass 35 ⌈35÷10⌉ = 4 × 2 8
Tyreek Hill WR Receiving TD 35 ⌈35÷10⌉ = 4 × 3 12
Travis Kelce TE Receiving TD 18 ⌈18÷10⌉ = 2 × 3 6
Alvin Kamara RB Rush TD (short) 2 ⌈2÷10⌉ = 1 × 4 4
Justin Tucker K Field goal 52 ⌈52÷10⌉ = 6 × 1 6

💡 QB scoring note: When a quarterback throws a TD, he scores on the pass yardage (same ceiling formula × 2). The receiver also scores (× 3 or × 2 for TE). Both players earn points on the same play.

Special Rules
A handful of plays score differently from the standard formula.
DEF Shutout Bonus
+10 pts
Flat bonus awarded to the defense when the opponent scores zero points in a game.
Return TD Cap
11 pts max
Punt and kick return TDs are capped at 11 points if the return exceeds 100 yards. Shorter returns use the standard formula.
PAT Kick
+1 pt flat
Kicker earns +1 for each successful extra point kick, on top of any field goal scoring that week.
Safety
+2 pts flat
When the defense forces a safety, they earn a flat 2 points.
2-Point Conversion
Pos. multiplier
Scores at 1 × position multiplier (same as ceil(2/10) × mult). On a pass 2PC, both the passer and the receiver earn points.

League Format
No head-to-head matchups. Total points is everything.

Total Weeks
How It Works

Every team scores every week — there are no weekly matchups or opponents. Your weekly score is the total points earned by your 12 starting players. Season standings are determined entirely by cumulative total points.

All 16 teams make the playoffs. Playoff weeks (Wild Card through Super Bowl, weeks 19–22) follow the same scoring rules — everyone keeps playing, and the final champion is whoever accumulates the most total points across the playoff rounds.

Regular season finish determines waiver priority — teams with lower cumulative points have higher waiver claim priority (they get first pick at contested adds).


Roster Rules
Position limits, starting lineup, and special slots.
Position Roster Limit Starting Lineup Notes
QB Quarterback 2 2 Start both every week
RB Running Back 4 3 1 sits on bench each week
WRTE Receiver / Tight End 4 3 Combined group — any mix of WR and TE
K Kicker 2 2 Team-based slot (see below)
DEF Defense 2 2 Team-based slot (see below)
📌 Supplemental Player 1 extra bench One additional RB or WR beyond position limits
🏥 IR Slot 1 Doesn't count toward limits while active
Team Kicker & Team Defense

Kicker and Defense slots are team-based, not player-based. When you hold a team's kicker slot, you earn points from whoever kicks for that NFL team that week — the slot follows the team, not the individual player. This applies to every NFL team.

If a kicker changes teams mid-season (e.g. moves from Team A to Team B), the owner of Team A's kicker slot retains the Team A slot only. That player's stats on Team B are not tracked — a different owner would need to pick up Team B's kicker. Defenses work exactly the same way.

IR Slot

Each team may designate one player as Injured Reserve. While on IR, that player does not count against position limits, freeing a roster spot to add another player.

When the IR player returns to your active lineup, they do count toward limits again. If activating them would push you over a position limit, you must drop a player first.

💡 Only starters score. Your active starting lineup (12 players) earns points each week. The bench — your 4th RB, 4th WR/TE, and Supplemental player — sits until you submit a lineup change to swap someone in.

Waiver Process
How player adds and drops work each week.
Waiver Deadlines

The NFL week typically has games on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday. Waiver deadlines are tied to when those games start:

Thu
Thursday night players — 1 hour before Thursday kickoff
If you want to add, drop, or affect a player who plays Thursday night, your waiver request must be in before that window closes.
Sun
Everyone else — 1 hour before Sunday kickoff
The main waiver window closes ~11 am ET Sunday. All remaining add/drop requests for Sunday and Monday players must be submitted before then.

Special-schedule weeks (international games, Black Friday, etc.) follow the same logic — the deadline for a player is always ~1 hour before their specific game.

Conflict Resolution

If two owners request the same player, the owner with the lower cumulative season total wins the claim. Lower total = higher waiver priority.

Backup Add

When submitting a waiver add, you can specify a backup add. If your primary is denied because someone with higher priority claimed the same player, your backup will be processed automatically — no need to resubmit. The backup follows the same conflict resolution rules.


Lineup Changes
Swapping a player in or out of your scoring lineup.

Lineup changes let you sit one rostered player and start another from your roster — temporarily adjusting your active lineup for a week without permanently changing it. Submit a sit/start pair alongside any adds and drops in the same form. You can include multiple lineup changes in one submission.

Lineup change deadline: Each player locks individually when their game kicks off. If your player is in the Thursday night game, your lineup change for that player is due before Thursday kickoff — not Sunday.

How to Submit
One form handles all transaction types.
1
Go to the Submit page
Navigate to Submit a Transaction. All transaction types live in one form — adds, drops, lineup changes, and notes.
2
Select your name and the current week
Pick your owner name from the dropdown. The week field auto-fills to the current NFL week — double-check it's correct.
3
Fill in what applies
Leave any section blank if it doesn't apply to your submission. You can add a player, drop a player, and include lineup changes all in a single submission.
4
Submit and wait for processing
Your submission is saved immediately. Grant processes the wire after each NFL week ends. You'll see your transaction status update (Approved / Denied) on your team page under the Wire tab.
