## What is Ching?

Ching is a fantasy league for people who would rather draft a whole team than a handful of players. You and your friends draft entire real-world football teams, and each team earns points for its owner from real game results.

HOW A LEAGUE WORKS

Create a private league or join one with an invite code. Before the season, the league drafts: turn by turn in the app, or in person while the commissioner enters each pick, until every roster is full. Until the first kickoff, you can release a team and claim an unowned one. After kickoff, teams change hands only by trade: one team for one team, accepted by the other owner and approved by the commissioner. Points a team earned before a trade stay with the owner who earned them.

The commissioner picks one of two scoring systems when creating the league:

- Kickback: bench one of your teams each week; the rest earn a point for each win.
- Stack: rank your teams into slots each week; a win earns its slot's value.

Both play a weekly head-to-head against another member from the league's schedule, and both score playoff wins and the championship.

Every week, set your lineup before it locks, follow your matchup, and watch your points move as your teams play. While your league's games are on, a Live Activity keeps your week's score on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Home Screen widgets show your week and the league standings, and a Lock Screen widget counts down to lineup lock.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE

- Your stack or bench for the week, and every head-to-head matchup, live.
- The league standings, ranked by total points, and a week-by-week grid.
- Every trade in the league and where it stands.
- The draft board, and each team's owners and points across the season.
- Notifications for your draft turn, trades, lineup reminders before lock, and weekly results.

Members are shown by handle, never by real name. Another member's lineup stays hidden until that week locks; then everyone sees everyone's. Nothing in Ching costs money: there is nothing to buy, nothing to unlock, and no way to wager or win real money. Sign in with Apple, Google or email, and delete your account from Settings.

Ching is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any league, team or data provider.

Just started a league with my friends and did a draft. Guess I’m a Bills fan this year!
