How Scoring Works
Understand how your total score is calculated across all playoff rounds.
Cumulative scoring
Your total score is the sum of all points earned by your 14 players across every playoff round. There is no head-to-head matchup — everyone competes on total points at the end of the playoffs.
Round-by-round accumulation
- Wild Card — 6 games, all 14 playoff teams play (no byes in most seasons).
- Divisional — 4 games, top seeds may have had a bye in week 1.
- Conference Championships — 2 games.
- Super Bowl — 1 game, the final.
Points from each round stack. A player who scores in Wild Card, Divisional, and Conference earns points from all three rounds.
Eliminated players score 0 going forward
If Josh Allen's Bills lose in the Divisional round, Allen scores 0 in the Conference Championship and Super Bowl — but keeps every point he earned in Wild Card and Divisional.
This is why roster diversity matters. A concentrated roster on one strong team can be destroyed if that team has an early exit.
Bye weeks
In seasons where top seeds receive a first-round bye, those players simply have no stats for Wild Card week. A bye is not a score of 0 — it is an absence of a game. This is reflected in the standings as a blank rather than a zero.
Stats are uploaded per round
Player and defense stats are uploaded by the league admin after each round completes. Your standings total updates as each round is processed.
