How fantasy lacrosse works

1. 1

   Start a league with friends

   Create a private league for 4–12 teams and send the invite link.

2. 2

   Draft real D1 players

   A live snake draft: you pick in turn, and the order reverses each round. 18 rounds, one for each roster spot. Each pick has a 60-second clock; if it runs out, the best available player who fits your roster is picked for you.

3. 3

   Set your lineup every week

   Weeks run Monday to Sunday (Eastern). Put your best players in the starting slots and the rest on the bench. Each player locks when his game starts, so you can keep adjusting until then.

4. 4

   Beat this week's opponent

   Every week you're matched against one other team in your league. Your starters' real game stats turn into points; the bench doesn't count. More points wins the week, and your record sets the standings.

5. 5

   Improve your team

   Pick up free agents any time. A dropped player goes on waivers for 24 hours and claims run overnight; whoever wins a claim moves to the back of the claim order. Trade with other teams: a trade goes through after a 24-hour review, and the commissioner can veto it.

6. 6

   Make the playoffs

   After the regular season the top 4 teams (top 2 in leagues of 5 or fewer) play for the title. Everyone else plays a consolation bracket.

Starters: 3 Attack · 3 Midfield · 1 FOGO · 1 Goalie · 2 Flex · 1 Team D. Plus 7 bench and 1 IR.

Attack

Attackmen: the main goal scorers.

Midfield

Midfielders: play both ends; goals, assists and ground balls.

FOGO

FOGO (face-off specialist): wins face-offs and ground balls.

Goalie

Goalies: saves, wins, goals against.

Flex

Any attackman or midfielder.

Team D

A whole school's defense: scores when that team holds opponents down.

Bench

Bench: doesn't score. Swap players in before their game.

IR

Injured reserve: for a player listed out; frees a roster spot.

A new league's scoring. The commissioner can change any value before the draft.

Pick'em is a separate game: pick the winners of each week's biggest games and climb the leaderboard. No draft needed.
