Scoring & Settings

The Rulebook

How the game is actually scored, straight from the Yahoo league. Half-PPR, ten managers, one flex, seven-team playoffs. The Constitution governs the money and the punishments. This is the part that decides who wins on Sunday.

The roster

Nine starters, seven on the bench, one IR. One true flex (RB / WR / TE), and yes, you still start a kicker and a defense.

9 starters · 7 bench · 1 IR. The extra bench spots are voted in; the IR slot holds one injured player off your bench.

Scoring

Half-PPR with yardage bonuses and six-point receiving/rushing touchdowns. The full table, as it sits in Yahoo.

Shut a team out and your defense is worth more than most flexes. Give up 35 and it actively costs you.

Mirrors the Yahoo league settings for 2026. Settled since: the buy-in is $152.50 a head (up $2.50 for the Yahoo Plus the new #1-seed bye runs on), and the league stayed 10. Still pending a commissioner toggle: direct waiver-to-IR and auto-locking eliminated teams. See Polls for how every rule got voted in.
