(Traditional Rotisserie Style)

How It Works:

Teams ranked 1st-10th in each category (6 per sport = 24 total). Sum your ranks across all categories.

Winner:

LOWEST total wins! Aim for #1 finishes.

Strategy:

Balance across categories. Consider punting weak categories to dominate others.

Best For:

Rotisserie league veterans who love strategic category management.

🎯 Fantasy Points Mode

(DFS-Style Point System)

How It Works:

Each stat earns specific points (HR = 3, TD = 6, etc.). Total up all your players' points.

Winner:

HIGHEST total wins! Accumulate maximum points.

Strategy:

Volume is king! Target elite producers who stuff the stat sheet.

Best For:

Fantasy football players and newcomers who prefer simple, intuitive scoring.

Position Requirements: NHL has strict roster composition: 3 Forwards, 2 Defensemen, 1 Goalie. Elite defensemen like Makar and top goalies command premium prices due to scarcity.

Draft Strategy Takeaways

• Balanced vs. Star-Heavy: Scott went star-heavy in MLB/NBA, balanced in NFL/NHL. Surge distributed evenly. No single strategy dominates.
• Positional Scarcity: Top QBs (NFL) and elite defensemen (NHL) cost more due to limited supply at their positions.
• Category Targeting: Teams can target specific categories (speed, power, volume) based on their roster construction.
• Budget Flexibility: Each team spent differently per sport ($85-$115 range). Your allocation should match your knowledge areas.

League Rules

Click any section below to expand/collapse details

Year-round rotisserie league with complete sport flexibility

Choose Your Sports: League commissioners can select any combination of sports for their league:

• ⚾ MLB (Major League Baseball)
• 🏈 NFL (National Football League)
• 🏀 NBA (National Basketball Association)
• 🏒 NHL (National Hockey League)

No requirements! Run a 2-sport league, 3-sport league, or the full 4-sport experience. The preference is to include all four sports for maximum year-round engagement, but commissioners have complete flexibility.

🔄 Weekly FAAB Waivers

Free agent acquisition using your auction budget ($100/sport). Budget carries over between sports!

🏥 Injured Reserve Spots

2 IR spots per sport. Must make roster move when players return from IR.

📊 Active Lineup Only

Stats only count for players in your active starting lineup—not IR!

Roster size depends on which sports your league includes:

⚾ MLB: 8 players (2 Infielders, 2 Outfielders, 1 UTIL, 3 Pitchers (SP))
🏈 NFL: 6 players (1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE)
🏀 NBA: 5 players (2 Guards, 2 Forwards, 1 Center)
🏒 NHL: 6 players (3 Forwards, 2 Defensemen, 1 Goalie)

Active Roster Totals:

• 2-Sport (MLB + NFL): 14 active players
• 3-Sport (MLB + NFL + NBA): 19 active players
• 3-Sport (MLB + NFL + NHL): 20 active players
• 4-Sport (All): 25 active players
• Any other combination works too!

🏥 Injured Reserve (IR) Spots:

Each sport has 2 IR spots for managing injured players. Total roster size = Active + IR:

• 2-Sport: 14 active + 4 IR = 18 total
• 3-Sport (MLB+NFL+NBA): 19 active + 6 IR = 25 total
• 3-Sport (MLB+NFL+NHL): 20 active + 6 IR = 26 total
• 4-Sport: 25 active + 8 IR = 33 total

IR spots allow you to stash injured players without sacrificing active roster flexibility.

⚠️ Stats Only Count for Active Lineup

Only players in your active starting lineup accumulate stats toward your team totals. Players on IR do NOT count stats—even if they're healthy and playing in real life. You must move them to your active lineup to start earning stats!

Each sport contributes 6 categories. Total categories depend on which sports your league includes:

2-Sport League: 12 total categories (e.g., MLB + NFL)
3-Sport League: 18 total categories (e.g., MLB + NFL + NBA)
4-Sport League: 24 total categories (all sports included)

Complete Flexibility: Choose any combination of sports! Run a 2-sport league, 3-sport league, or the full 4-sport experience. No sports are required—commissioners decide what works best for their league.

T.U.S.L. uses an auction draft as the standard format. This creates strategic depth and ensures all teams have equal opportunity to land top players. However, leagues may opt for a traditional snake draft if preferred.

STANDARD Auction Draft

💰 Total League Budget

Each team gets a $400 total budget (for 4-sport league) to use for BOTH drafting AND FAAB waivers:

• 4 sports: $400 total budget
• 3 sports: $300 total budget
• 2 sports: $200 total budget

Key Point: This is ONE shared budget pool! You can allocate it however you want across all sports. Spend $200 on MLB and $50 on NFL if that's your strategy!

📊 How Budget Works

• Budget carries over between sports
• Draft + FAAB use same pool
• No minimum/maximum per sport
• Every dollar counts!

🎯 Example (4-Sport League)

• Start with $400 total
• Spend $150 on MLB (draft + FAAB)
• $250 remains for NFL, NBA, NHL
• Your strategy, your allocation!

💡 Pro Tip: Budget allocation is shown on each team's detail page. Study how opponents distributed their $400 to inform your draft strategy!

🔄 FAAB Connection: Your budget also serves as your FAAB for waivers! Example: Spend $150 on MLB (draft + FAAB) and you have $250 remaining for the other three sports. Budget carries over continuously throughout the season. See Free Agency & Waivers section for waiver details.

ALTERNATIVE Snake Draft

Leagues may choose a traditional snake draft format instead of auction. If using snake draft, the commissioner can determine draft order using one of these methods:

1️⃣ Commissioner-Set Order

Commissioner manually assigns draft positions based on league preferences or agreements.

2️⃣ Random Order

Draft order is randomly generated to ensure fairness and eliminate bias.

3️⃣ Standings-Based Order (Reverse)

Draft order is determined by current league standings from the most recently completed sport:

• 1st place team picks last
• Last place team picks first
• Creates competitive balance across seasons
• Example: MLB leader drafts last for NFL, giving last-place team the top pick

T.U.S.L. features a strategic free agency system using FAAB (Free Agent Acquisition Budget) bidding that runs weekly, allowing teams to add players and manage injuries throughout the season.

🏥 Injured Reserve (IR) Spots

Each team has 2 IR spots per sport to manage injured players:

• ⚾ MLB: 2 IR spots (total active + IR = 10 players)
• 🏈 NFL: 2 IR spots (total active + IR = 8 players)
• 🏀 NBA: 2 IR spots (total active + IR = 7 players)
• 🏒 NHL: 2 IR spots (total active + IR = 8 players)

💡 IR Eligibility: Only players with official injury designations (IL, IR, Out, etc.) can be placed on IR. Players on IR do not count toward your active roster.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Stats Only Count for Active Lineup

Stats ONLY accumulate for players in your active starting lineup. If a player is on your IR spot (even if they're healthy and playing in real life), their stats will NOT count toward your team totals until you move them to your active lineup.

Example: Your star pitcher comes off the real-life IL and pitches 7 shutout innings. If he's still in your IR spot and not moved to your active roster, those stats are LOST—they won't count! You must activate him to start accumulating stats.

⚠️ Returning from IR: When a player is healthy and ready to come off IR, the team owner must make a roster decision:

• Option 1: Drop someone from your active roster to make room for the returning player
• Option 2: Drop the player coming off IR if you prefer to keep your current roster

You cannot keep a healthy player on IR—roster moves must be made when players are activated. Delay the move and you'll miss out on their stats!

💵 FAAB Bidding System

Your total budget ($400 for 4-sport league) is used for BOTH drafting AND FAAB waivers throughout the season. See Auction Draft Format section above for complete budget details.

🎯 How FAAB Works

• Weekly blind bidding on free agents
• Highest bidder wins each player
• Winning bids deducted from your budget
• Once budget is gone, no more pickups

📅 Weekly Waiver Process

• Waivers process once per week
• Submit bids before deadline
• Results announced at set time
• Plan ahead for key pickups!

Spend aggressively at drafts for top players but have limited FAAB for injuries and breakouts, OR draft conservatively to dominate the waiver wire all season long. Your budget management strategy is crucial!

⚠️

DIFFERENT FORMAT!

Best Ball is NOT a league format - it's a separate contest format where you pay an entry fee, draft once, and compete for cash prizes.

❌ NOT in Best Ball:

• No season-long leagues
• No waiver wire
• No trades
• No roster management

✅ Best Ball IS:

• Pay-to-enter contests ($25-$100)
• Draft once, then done
• Automated optimal lineup
• Compete for cash prizes

What is T.U.S.L. Best Ball?

A contest format where you draft once, compete for cash, and never touch your roster again.

Pay an entry fee, draft your team in an auction, then your optimal lineup is automatically calculated each week. Top finishers win cash prizes. Zero maintenance required after the draft.

💰 How It's Different from Standard Leagues:

Standard League:

• Free to play (or league buy-in)
• Friends/private league
• Weekly management
• Waivers and trades
• One winner per league

Best Ball Contest:

• Pay entry ($25-$100)
• Public contest (20 teams)
• Zero management
• No waivers or trades
• Cash prizes (top 3-5 paid)

✅ Perfect For:

• DFS players who like Best Ball
• Busy people who can't manage lineups
• Players who want year-round contests
• Those who prefer cash competition

🎯 Key Features:

• Daily contests at noon
• 20-team fields
• Multi-sport (MLB → NFL → NBA → NHL)
• Guaranteed prize pools

How Does It Work?

Join a Draft Window

New draft windows open every day at noon. Pay your entry fee ($25, $50, or $100 contests), and wait for the draft room to fill (20 teams per contest).

Example: Join the $50 contest on March 15. Once 20 teams enter, the auction draft begins!

Draft Your Team (30-40 minutes)

Live auction draft! Nominate players, bid against opponents, build your roster. $100 budget for MLB (first sport). Budget carries over to NFL, NBA, NHL drafts later in the year.

⚡ Pro Tip

Bigger rosters than traditional T.U.S.L. means depth matters! Draft backups for every position.

Watch Your Team Compete

That's it! No weekly moves, no FAAB bidding, no lineup setting. Your best players automatically count each week. Check standings, watch games, root for your team.

Multi-Sport Continuation

When NFL season arrives (September), same contest continues. Another auction draft with your remaining budget. Same 20 teams. MLB + NFL points combined.

Then NBA + NHL drafts in October. Your contest runs April through April — full year of competition!

💰

Win Cash Prizes!

Top 5 teams split the prize pool at season end. Typical payout (20-team, $50 entry = $1,000 pool):

🥇 1st Place: $500 (50%)
🥈 2nd Place: $250 (25%)
🥉 3rd Place: $150 (15%)
4th Place: $70 (7%)
5th Place: $30 (3%)

Roster Construction

Larger rosters, no IR spots. Since there are no waiver pickups and no weekly management, you need depth at every position. Your best eligible players auto-start each week.

⚾ MLB Roster (12 players)

3 Infielders Best 2 count weekly

3 Outfielders + 1 UTIL Best 3 count weekly

3 Pitchers (SP) Best 2 count weekly

2 Relief Pitchers Best 1 counts weekly

Optimal lineup auto-selected each week based on actual stats

🏈 NFL Roster (10 players)

2 Quarterbacks Best 1 counts weekly

3 Running Backs Best 2 count weekly

4 Wide Receivers Best 2 count weekly

1 Tight End Counts weekly

Backup QB crucial for bye weeks!

🏀 NBA Roster (8 players)

3 Guards Best 2 count weekly

3 Forwards Best 2 count weekly

2 Centers Best 1 counts weekly

More games = more chances to shine

🏒 NHL Roster (10 players)

4 Forwards Best 3 count weekly

3 Defensemen Best 2 count weekly

3 Goalies Best 1 counts weekly

Goalie depth = championship insurance

📊 Total: 40 Players Per Team

12 MLB + 10 NFL + 8 NBA + 10 NHL = 40 roster spots. No IR, no waivers, no weekly moves. Draft smart and let the best ball!

New draft windows open every day at noon EST. Once 20 teams enter, the live auction draft begins (usually within 1-4 hours).

What happens if I can't make the draft?

📊 Fantasy Points Scoring System

Alternative scoring format: Points per stat instead of category rankings

How Fantasy Points Work

Fantasy Points Mode

✅ Each stat earns specific points
✅ Total all your players' points
✅ HIGHEST total wins
✅ Simple, intuitive scoring
✅ Volume matters - more stats = more points

Rankings Mode (Traditional)

📊 Ranked 1st-10th in each category
📊 Sum your category ranks
📊 LOWEST total wins
📊 Balance across all categories
📊 Strategy requires category targeting

MLB Scoring

Hitters

Stat	Points	Why?
Home Run (HR)	3	Most valuable offensive event
RBI	1	Direct run production
Stolen Base (SB)	2	Scarce skill, high value
Hit (H)	0.25	Volume stat, batting average proxy

Example Player:

30 HR, 100 RBI, 20 SB, 180 H

= (30×3) + (100×1) + (20×2) + (180×0.25) = 275 points

Pitchers

Stat	Points	Why?
Win (W)	4	Team success, harder to get
Strikeout (SO)	1	Dominance indicator

Example Pitcher:

15 W, 200 SO

= (15×4) + (200×1) = 260 points

💡 MLB Strategy Tip:

Power + Speed combo is king! A 30 HR / 30 SB player is worth 150 points from those categories alone. Don't overlook consistent hit producers - 200 hits = 50 points.

🏈

NFL Scoring

Quarterbacks

Stat	Points	Details
Passing Yards	0.04	1 pt per 25 yards
Passing TD	4	Standard scoring

Example QB:

4,000 passing yds, 30 TDs

= (4000×0.04) + (30×4) = 280 points

RB / WR / TE

Stat	Points	Details
Rushing Yards	0.1	1 pt per 10 yards
Rushing TD	6	Standard scoring
Receiving Yards	0.1	1 pt per 10 yards
Receiving TD	6	Standard scoring

Example RB:

1,200 rush yds, 10 rush TDs, 300 rec yds, 3 rec TDs

= (1200×0.1) + (10×6) + (300×0.1) + (3×6) = 228 points

💡 NFL Strategy Tip:

TDs are king! A TD is worth 60 rushing yards or 150 passing yards. Target red zone threats and elite QBs who throw 30+ TDs. Dual-threat RBs (rushing + receiving) provide huge value.

🏀

NBA Scoring

All Positions

Stat	Points	Rationale
Points (PTS)	0.1	Volume scoring stat
Rebounds (REB)	0.15	Slight premium over points
Assists (AST)	0.2	Playmaking bonus
Steals (STL)	0.4	Scarcity bonus!
Blocks (BLK)	0.4	Scarcity bonus!
Field Goals Made (FG)	0.1	Efficiency indicator

Example All-Around Player:

25 PTS, 8 REB, 7 AST, 2 STL, 1 BLK, 10 FG per game × 70 games

= [(25×0.1) + (8×0.15) + (7×0.2) + (2×0.4) + (1×0.4) + (10×0.1)] × 70 = 490 points

💡 NBA Strategy Tip:

Steals and blocks are GOLD! Worth 4× more than points. A player averaging 2 steals per game over 70 games = 56 fantasy points just from steals. Target versatile players who contribute across all categories.

🏒

NHL Scoring

Skaters (F/D)

Stat	Points	Why?
Goals (G)	2	Hardest to score
Assists (A)	1.5	Playmaking value
Shots on Goal (SOG)	0.1	Volume bonus
Power Play Pts (PPP)	0.5	Extra bonus

Example Forward:

40 G, 50 A, 250 SOG, 35 PPP

= (40×2) + (50×1.5) + (250×0.1) + (35×0.5) = 182.5 points

Goalies

Stat	Points	Why?
Wins (W)	3	Team dependent
Saves (SV)	0.05	Volume stat

Example Goalie:

35 W, 2,000 SV

= (35×3) + (2000×0.05) = 205 points

💡 NHL Strategy Tip:

Elite goal scorers are premium! A 50-goal scorer gives you 100 fantasy points from goals alone. PP specialists provide bonus value. For goalies, target workhorses on good teams - wins and volume both matter.

🎯 Draft Strategy Differences

Rankings Mode Strategy

✓ Balance across all categories
✓ Target undervalued categories
✓ Punt weak categories strategically
✓ Specialist players have value
✓ Avoid weak categories in IR slots

Fantasy Points Strategy

✓ Volume is king - more stats = more points
✓ Target triple-threat players (all categories)
✓ Elite scorers are premium
✓ Pay up for consistent producers
✓ No need to balance - maximize totals
