Sunday, September 6, 2026 · 9:00 PM EST. Locked in — set more than a month out, so it isn't moving. Commissioner will set up a Discord call, same as last year. Full details on Draft Central.

2024
Top 3 records auto-qualified. The final playoff spot went to the highest points-scorer among the remaining teams, regardless of record — which is how Damon Libassi (6-8) snuck in and went on to win the whole thing.
2025
Top 4 records auto-qualified. The last two spots went to the two highest points-scorers among the teams that hadn't already qualified by record — Dominic Libassi and Damon Libassi both got in this way.
2026 — 7-Team Playoff
Top 5 records auto-qualify. Seeds 6 and 7 go to the two highest points-scorers among the teams that didn't make it on record alone. Only the No. 1 seed gets a bye — every other seed has to win their way in, NFL-style.
| Playoffs Start | Week 14 |
| Championship | Two-week final (combined score) — up from one week |
| Losers Bracket | Bottom 5 teams. The two best records among them play each other for a chance to escape early; the bottom 3 play it out separately. Whoever loses out entirely gets punished. |
| Bowl Week | Week 18 — see Bowl Games below |
Seed numbers on the season recap brackets are each team's overall regular-season rank, not a re-numbered playoff seed — that's why a "9-seed" can appear in a championship bracket in past-season recaps.
Once the championship is decided, Week 18 becomes bowl week — every team plays one more game, college-football style. Bowl matchups and names are set after the championship ends, once final standings are locked in.
Whoever's matched up in a given bowl works out the stakes between themselves — bragging rights, a side bet, a punishment swap, whatever they agree on — subject to commissioner approval.
Once a season, every manager plays their declared rival instead of their normal schedule opponent — a personal rival chosen by each manager, not necessarily a random draw. Commissioner Dominic Libassi's is his brother; Nathaniel Bloss's is his cousin, Michael Gilpin. Full pairings are on the Rivalry page.
