The rulebook

League Settings

Welcome to the .5 PPR Superflex league. Our league is mostly standard with some enhancements we think make the experience better. We limit QBs to 2 per roster and bench spots to only 4 — that generates more organic activity in free agency week to week, since managers can't hoard players on their bench. We also run 2 keepers per team, purchased out of your auction budget right before the draft.

  • Example: if you were Slumdog for the 2026 season, the punishment must be done before August 1, 2027
  • 2026 punishment (voted by the league): hand your credit card to the Brewskis and run 1.5 miles around the bar while they order beers on it — they must finish each one before re-ordering

Keepers

To keep some continuity without breaking competitive balance, each team may purchase up to 2 keepers, with the cost coming out of that manager's auction budget.

  • Keeper cost is the previous year's draft cost + $10
  • It doesn't matter who drafted the player — they just need to be on your roster at the end of the season
  • If the player went undrafted and was picked up in free agency mid-season, the keeper cost starts at $15
  • Keep the same player multiple years in a row and the same formula applies each year: previous draft cost + $10
  • Keepers are optional
  • Keepers can also be traded for draft capital before the season starts

Example

  • Priyank Purohit drafted Emeka Egbuka for $7 in 2025
  • To keep him it costs $17 of his $200 budget, handled manually before the 2026 draft
  • Priyank starts the draft with $183 and Egbuka already on his roster
