League Structure

Best Ball Union consists of multiple separate leagues operating simultaneously.

Each league functions independently for:

• Drafts
• Weekly matchups
• League standings
• Determination of the league champion

However, all teams across all Best Ball Union leagues also compete for network-wide prizes, including overall high score and weekly high score awards.

League Naming Convention

Best Ball Union leagues are designated numerically:

• BBU 1
• BBU 2
• BBU 3
• BBU 4
• etc.

Best Ball Union is a multi-league fantasy football system consisting of independent 10-team Best Ball leagues operating on Sleeper.

Each league uses a Head-to-Head format with Median Matchup scoring, allowing teams to earn up to two results each week.

The season runs Weeks 1-17 of the NFL regular season.

Each league crowns its own champion based on win-loss record, while all teams across every league also compete for:

• Overall season high score
• Weekly high score prizes

Best Ball Union uses Progressive PPR scoring and a draft-and-hold roster structure, meaning there are no waivers, trades, or lineup management during the season.

Regular Season

Weeks 1-17 of the NFL regular season.

Each week teams receive two matchup results:

• Scheduled head-to-head opponent
• Matchup versus the weekly league median score

Possible weekly outcomes:

• 2-0
• 1-1
• 0-2

Standings are determined by overall record using Sleeper's default tiebreaker settings.

• Draft Platform: Sleeper
• Draft Type: Snake draft
• Draft Timer: 2 minutes per pick (fast draft)

Draft Order

Draft order will be randomized after each league is filled.

Draft Timing

All Best Ball Union drafts will occur after the conclusion of the NFL preseason.

Managers within each league may attempt to agree on a draft time.

If a league cannot reach agreement, the commissioner will assign a draft time.

Whenever possible, leagues will draft on the same day to prevent competitive advantage caused by late preseason injuries or roster changes.

Roster Size: 18 players

Starting Lineup

• 1 QB
• 2 RB
• 3 WR
• 1 TE
• 2 FLEX (RB / WR / TE)

Total starters: 9

Best Ball Format

Best Ball Union operates using Sleeper's Best Ball scoring system.

Lineups are automatically optimized each week using the highest-scoring eligible players.

Managers do not set weekly lineups.

Best Ball Union is a Draft-and-Hold league.

Once the draft is completed:

• No waivers
• No free agent pickups
• No trades
• No roster transactions

Team rosters remain locked for the entire season.

Best Ball Union uses a Progressive PPR scoring system.

Reception scoring:

• RB - 0.5
• WR - 0.25
• TE - 0.75

All other scoring categories follow standard Sleeper scoring settings.

Sleeper stat corrections are final and binding.

Each individual league crowns its own champion.

The league champion is determined by:

Best overall win-loss record at the conclusion of Week 17.

If teams are tied in record, the following tiebreakers apply:

• Total points scored
• Most weekly high scores within the league
• Coin flip

All teams across all Best Ball Union leagues compete for the Overall High Score Championship.

The team with the highest cumulative points scored across the entire season will be declared the:

Best Ball Union Overall Champion

Final standings are determined using Sleeper's official scoring totals after Week 17, including any stat corrections.

Best Ball Union may award weekly prizes for the highest score across all leagues.

Weekly prizes are only activated if the number of participating leagues generates sufficient prize pool funding.

When weekly prizes are active, the highest scoring team across all leagues for that week receives the prize.

If multiple teams tie for the weekly high score, the prize will be split evenly.

All league entry fees are collected and distributed through LeagueSafe.

Each Best Ball Union league contains 10 teams paying $10 each, creating a $100 league prize pool.

Standard Prize Model (No Weekly Prizes)

If participation does not meet the threshold required for weekly prizes, the following allocation is used:

• 75% -> League Winners
• 25% -> Overall High Score Pool

Per League:

• $75 -> League Champion
• $25 -> Overall High Score Pool

Weekly Prize Model

If participation reaches the weekly prize threshold, the allocation changes to:

• 70% -> League Winners
• 20% -> Overall High Score Pool
• 10% -> Weekly Prize Pool

Per League:

• $70 -> League Champion
• $20 -> Overall High Score Pool
• $10 -> Weekly Prize Pool

Weekly prizes increase only when the prize pool can fund the full 17-week season.

If the weekly prize pool exceeds the current threshold but does not reach the next threshold, the excess funds are added to the overall high score pool.

The commissioner will maintain a Best Ball Union Top 10 leaderboard tracking the highest scoring teams across all leagues.

The leaderboard will display:

• Team Name
• Total Points
• League Designation (BBU #)

Example:

• Team Alpha - 1,254.32 (BBU 3)
• Gridiron Kings - 1,248.90 (BBU 1)
• Sunday Slayers - 1,242.11 (BBU 5)

Leaderboard updates are informational and provided for engagement purposes.

The official overall champion is determined solely by final Week 17 scoring totals.

The commissioner is responsible for:

• League setup and scheduling
• Rule enforcement
• Weekly prize tracking
• Leaderboard updates
• LeagueSafe payout coordination

Sleeper scoring results and stat corrections are considered final and will not be manually overridden.

No refunds will be issued once drafts begin unless a platform failure or administrative issue prevents the league from operating.
