The constitution

Play hard. Play fair. Keep showing up.

SNL runs on a short constitution designed to answer the questions that matter without legalese.

Article I

Set a legal lineup

Every owner is responsible for submitting a complete, active lineup before each player's game locks. Honest mistakes should be raised with the commissioner immediately.

Article II

Compete through the final whistle

Owners must make a good-faith effort every week. Collusion, lineup dumping, and coordinated moves that undermine fair competition are prohibited.

Article III

Trades should help both owners compete

Uneven opinions are part of fantasy football; collusion is not. The commissioner intervenes only when a deal threatens league integrity, not because the room dislikes it.

Article IV

Waivers belong to the market

Free-agent acquisition budget is the league currency. Bids are private, ties follow Sleeper's waiver priority, and unspent budget has no value after the season.

Article V

Respect the league and the people in it

Trash talk is welcome; harassment is not. Rivalries should make Sunday better, and commissioner decisions should be discussed directly and in good faith.

Article VI

The commissioner protects continuity

Sleeper settings are the official source of truth. If an unusual platform issue is not covered here, the commissioner may issue a transparent ruling in the league's best interest.

Plain-language tiebreakers

When records are even

Sleeper's configured standings and playoff calculations remain official. During the regular season, the public table sorts tied records by points scored.
