Your saved active roster earns points for eligible games from its assignment onward. Earlier games do not count in a new pool. Save rosters before puck drop; later changes apply to later games.
Scoring begins when the commissioner officially finalizes the draft. Earlier games do not count. A player must be on the active roster when a game begins. Finish the draft and confirm each roster before inviting everyone to follow the standings.
Week 1 begins on your configured start date and runs for seven calendar days. The matchup uses results inside that window, including earlier games in the same window. Choose a future start date for a fresh contest. Rosters lock during the matchup by default; schedule matchups with an even number of active participants.
Save a lineup for each slate before its lock deadline. You can edit it while the slate is open. Only eligible games in that slate count; earlier slates do not. Confirm the slate timezone and lock settings before inviting participants.
