Five Card Draft

Five Card Draft is a private weekly fantasy football league for one group of friends. It is invite-only: you need a code from a member to get in, and there is no public sign-up. THE FORMAT Every Tuesday a board of eighty players goes up, dealt into five suits of sixteen — spades through the joker. You pick five players, one from each suit, and that is your squad for the week. You need one QB, one RB, one WR, and one TE. You then have one FLEX that can be any position besides QB. EVERY PICK STAYS YOURS UNTIL HIS GAME STARTS Your squad is not locked when you submit it. Each of the five is editable right up to his own kickoff and freezes there, one at a time across the weekend. A Thursday quarterback locks on Thursday; the rest of your squad is still open on Sunday morning. SCORING YOU CAN CHECK Full PPR, and every one of the five counts — no drop-lowest, no bonus, no multipliers. The complete scoring table is in the app, rendered from the same configuration the scoring engine reads, so what you see is what gets counted. Scores update through the afternoon as the games run. THE WEEK · Tuesday — the new board goes up · All week — draft, swap, challenge someone · Kickoff — each pick freezes and flips face-up · Sunday — the leaderboard fills in as the games run · Tuesday — the week settles and the league moves on HEAD TO HEAD Challenge another member for the week. Both squads play their normal games and the app keeps the running book — every result, per opponent, all season. PLAY MONEY The league runs on coins — its own scorekeeping, with no store, no purchases and no payment processing of any kind. There is nothing to buy anywhere in the app. BUILT FOR THE PHONE Push notifications when you are challenged, when the board goes up, when a player in your squad is hurt on a game day, and when the week settles. Your squad, the board and the live leaderboard are all a tap from anywhere in the app.
