Scoring & Rules
Every season gets its own scorecard
In TeamDrafts, each league is built around selected sports and seasons. Commissioners choose the seasons, then set the point values that decide how much each achievement is worth.
How scoring works
A commissioner creates a league by choosing the sports and seasons that count. Each selected season comes with default scoring rules, such as points for a playoff berth, division title, tournament run, or championship. The commissioner can adjust the point value for each default rule before the contest begins.
The scoring categories stay standardized by sport, which keeps leagues fair and easy to understand. The point values are where each commissioner can make the contest feel casual, intense, balanced, or chaotic.
