Gameplay

Each NLL game week launches a fresh round of fantasy contests. A complete fantasy roster consists of 6 Starting players and 5 Bench players. The minimum roster must include 6 Starters, broken down as follows:

Starters:

  • 2 Forward

  • 2 Defense/Transition

  • 1 Flex (can be a Forward, or Defense/Transition player)

  • 1x Goalie



Bench (optional - Earns 0.5x points):

  • 2 Forward

  • 2 Defense/Transition

  • 1 Flex (can be a Forward, Defense/Transition player, or Goalie)

Roster Management

Rosters can be adjusted up until the contest starts, which will be indicated by a countdown timer.


Salary Cap

Each roster will be limited on how much can be spent on the Athletes composing the lineup. The cap hit will be equivalent to the cost of acquiring the Athlete.

  • For example, an Athlete purchased for $30 in the marketplace will consume $30 in the team’s Salary Cap to add to the roster.

  • Athletes directly acquired via packs will consume $5 of the cap by default

Single Submission

An athlete can only be used in one competition at a time. 

If a user owns multiple copies of a single athlete, each copy can be submitted to their own competition. 

Winning your Division

All new players start in Division 10. Climb your way to Division 1 by being promoted for stellar performances.

The climb:

Ranked Competition: Compete against similarly ranked teams as you advance through the divisions.

Win points: Finish in the top 50% of your pool? Boom! You'll earn a cool 150 pts.

Aim for Promotion: Land in the top 25% of your division? Congrats! You'll ascend to the next division.

Avoid Relegation: Beware of finishing in the bottom 25% - that'll mean a drop down a division.

Future Prizes

Select contests will offer additional rewards, such as points or unique memorabilia.
