Terms of Use

No money ever changes hands in this game, in any direction. The one optional paid-adjacent feature — unlocking a locked entry before the deadline — costs points, set by the commissioner, never dollars. Points settle into a zero-sum weekly pot and split among that week’s winners; they cannot be bought, cashed out, or converted to anything of value. If a future version of this app ever asked for real money, it would need a different set of rules than these — that is not what this pilot is or does.

Lines lock, picks lock, games get graded, and weeks get settled largely by an automated pipeline; a commissioner can also act by hand (publishing a line, entering a score, overriding a grade) when the pipeline needs help. The points ledger is an append-only record kept for the integrity of the season — once a week settles, its entries stand as the record of what happened, corrected only by a further, audited entry, never erased.

Your league’s commissioner can deactivate a membership and adjust who holds the commissioner role. Deactivating a member stops their future participation from the next week whose lines have not yet locked — it does not erase their picks or ledger history, because that history has to stay complete for the season to make sense for everyone else still playing. Archiving a league itself is not a commissioner action — only the platform operator can do that, and it too is reversible and never deletes anything. If you disagree with a decision or something looks wrong, raise it with your commissioner first; if you cannot reach them or the issue is about the platform itself, write to [email protected].

A league’s scoring rules — juice, the teaser, how many picks an entry carries, the unlock fee — are versioned. A commissioner can change them, but only to take effect from a future week that has not opened yet, so a week already in progress is never changed underneath the people playing it. Members can see which rule version is in effect for any given week.

This is a hobby project built and run by one person for a small private league, not a commercial product. It is provided as-is: we try hard to get lines, grading and settlement right, and we will fix mistakes we find, but we cannot promise the app will always be available, bug-free, or perfectly accurate, and we are not liable for anything that goes wrong with a points-only game played for fun. If a scoring or grading error is found, the commissioner can correct it — every correction is recorded, never silent.

For anything about these terms, or the app itself, write to [email protected].
