- Golf, tennis, and Counter-Strike work a bit differently since they
- each have multiple major tournaments throughout the year:
-
-
-
Qualifying points per major:
-
- 1st Place8 QP
- 2nd Place5 QP
- 3rd Place3 QP
- 4th Place2 QP
- 5th Place1 QP
-
+
+
+ Example:{" "}
+ Your league has 20 sports and 24 draft rounds. That means you
+ fill 20 dedicated sport spots and have 4 flex picks to use
+ however you like.
+
+ {/* How Points Work */}
- π² The Draft
-
- Before the season starts, you'll participate in a snake draft:
+
How Points Work
+
+ Points are awarded based on where your picks finish β 1st through
+ 8th. The better they finish, the more you earn. Your commissioner
+ can adjust point values before the draft, but here's what a typical
+ league looks like:
+
+
+
+
+
+ |
+ Finish
+ |
+
+ Points
+ |
+
+
+
+
+ | 1st Place |
+
+ 100
+ |
+
+
+ | 2nd Place |
+
+ 70
+ |
+
+
+ | 3rd Place |
+
+ 50
+ |
+
+
+ | 4th Place |
+
+ 40
+ |
+
+
+ | 5thβ6th Place |
+
+ 25
+ |
+
+
+ | 7thβ8th Place |
+
+ 15
+ |
+
+
+
+
+ If nobody in your league drafted a team that finishes in the top 8,
+ those points aren't awarded to anyone. Drafting rare picks can pay
+ off.
-
- -
- Snake draft means the order reverses each round
- (if you pick last in round 1, you pick first in round 2)
-
- - You'll have a time limit to make each pick
- -
- Once you draft a team or athlete, they're yours for the entire
- season
-
- - No trading picks or players - choose carefully!
-
+ {/* Major-Based Sports */}
- π
During the Season
-
- Once the season starts, it's all about watching your picks compete:
+
+ Golf, Tennis, CS2 β Sports with Majors
+
+
+ Some sports don't have a single championship β they have multiple
+ major tournaments spread throughout the year. For these sports,
+ players earn{" "}
+
+ qualifying points (QP)
+ {" "}
+ at each major:
+
+
+
+
+
+ |
+ Major Finish
+ |
+
+ Qualifying Points
+ |
+
+
+
+
+ | 1st |
+
+ 20 QP
+ |
+
+
+ | 2nd |
+
+ 14 QP
+ |
+
+
+ | 3rd |
+
+ 10 QP
+ |
+
+
+ | 4th |
+
+ 8 QP
+ |
+
+
+ | 5thβ6th |
+
+ 5 QP

+
+
+ | 7thβ8th |
+
+ 3 QP
+ |
+
+
+ | 9thβ12th |
+
+ 2 QP
+ |
+
+
+ | 13thβ16th |
+
+ 1 QP
+ |
+
+
+
+
+ QP don't go straight to your score β they determine the final
+ ranking within that sport. Once all the majors are done, total QP
+ are added up, and whoever's ranked 1st through 8th earns the
+ standard league points. Consistency across majors is the key.
-
- - No trades - your roster is locked in
- - No waivers or free agent pickups
- - Just sit back and cheer for your teams and athletes!

+ {/* The Draft */}
+
+ The Draft
+
+ The draft is a snake draft β pick order reverses every round. If
+ you pick last in round 1, you pick first in round 2. No trading
+ picks, and once you make a selection it's yours for the whole
+ season.
+
+
+ {/* Chess Clock */}
+
+
+ The Chess Clock β A Brackt Original
+
+
+ Most fantasy drafts use a simple countdown: you get X seconds per
+ pick and that's it. Brackt does it differently with a{" "}
+
+ Fischer increment timer
+
+ , borrowed from competitive chess.
+
+
+ Every participant starts the draft with a personal time bank.
+ Your clock counts down while it's your turn. When you make a
+ pick,{" "}
+
+ time is added back
+ {" "}
+ to your bank. Any time you don't use carries over to your next
+ pick.
+
+
+ Pick quickly early on and you'll build up a bigger bank for the
+ later rounds when decisions get harder. Deliberate too long and
+ your bank shrinks. It rewards decisiveness without penalizing you
+ for taking a moment when you really need it.
+
+
+ Example:{" "}
+ On Standard speed, you start with 2 minutes. You make your first
+ pick in 30 seconds β 15 seconds are added back, leaving you with
+ 1 minute 45 seconds for your next turn. Keep picking fast and
+ that bank grows.
+
+
+
Draft Queue & Autodraft
+
+ Before and during the draft you can build a{" "}
+ draft queue{" "}
+ β an ordered list of picks you want to make. When it's your turn,
+ you can pick manually or let your queue guide you.
+
+
+ If your time bank runs out,{" "}
+ autodraft{" "}
+ kicks in automatically. It'll grab the first available pick from
+ your queue. If your queue is empty or everything in it has
+ already been taken, it'll grab from the top of the available player pool.
+ Keep your queue updated and you'll never get stuck with a random
+ pick.
+
+
+
+ {/* During the Season */}
+
+ After the Draft
+
+ Once the draft ends, your roster is locked. No trades, no waivers,
+ no pickups. Just watch your picks compete across the year and see
+ how your draft decisions play out. Points accumulate as sports
+ seasons wrap up, and standings update in real time.
+
+
+ If there's a tie in the final standings, it's broken by who has
+ more 1st-place finishes. If that's still a tie, it goes to
+ 2nd-place finishes, then 3rd, and so on.

-
+ Quick Tips
+
-
- β Diversify: Don't put all your eggs in one
- basket - spread your picks across different sports
+
+ Know your sports.
+ {" "}
+ Understanding how each sport determines its top 8 (playoffs vs.
+ regular season vs. bracket) is the biggest edge you can have.
-
- β Know the format: Some sports score based on
- playoffs, others on regular season performance
+
+ Build your queue early.
+ {" "}
+ The draft moves fast. Having a ranked queue ready means you'll

-
- β Draft early: The best teams and athletes go
- fast!
+
+ Pick fast early on.
+ {" "}
+ The chess clock rewards quick decisions. Bank extra time for the
+ tricky later rounds.
-
- β Have fun: This is about enjoying sports across
- the calendar year
+
+ Flex spots are strategic.
+ {" "}
+ Use them to double up on sports you feel confident about, not
