How a season works
From an empty league to a finished schedule, in the order you will do it.
-
Create a league
Choose 8, 10, 12 or 30 teams, turn the designated hitter on or off, and decide how many human managers can join. Computer-run teams fill every other seat.
-
Invite your friends
Enter their email addresses and everyone gets a link. They can join even if they have not signed up yet.
-
Draft in a snake
Each pick is a player and a season. Computer teams pick instantly, and you take as long as you need. Once someone drafts any season of a player, no one else in your league can have him.
-
Set your clubhouse
Arrange your lineup, rotation and bullpen, and sign free agents when your roster needs help.
-
Play the schedule
Play your own games at-bat by at-bat, or let the engine sim them. Games for computer-run teams are simulated for you, and the box scores are saved.
The rules of the league
