Every question, answered

Free tools for your Yahoo fantasy league. And when the season ends, the Offseason begins. Sync your league once and the whole toolkit lights up: mock drafts against personas built from your actual leaguemates, a trade machine that grades any deal before you send it, keeper math, and the record book your group chat has been arguing about for years.

No. There is no money anywhere in Offseason: nothing to deposit, nothing to wager, nothing to win except standings and receipts. The currency is bragging rights, and the group chat handles collections.

A Yahoo fantasy league. Someone in your group connects it, which creates your league here and builds the record book. Everyone else joins from a single invite link, no Yahoo account of their own required, and gets the same tools.

Nothing. Offseason is free, with no premium tier. Every member of your league gets the whole toolkit. It's a passion project from a league commissioner, for people who'd rather settle the debate than just argue about it.

About a minute for the account, a couple of minutes for the league. Connect Yahoo, pick the league, and 8 seasons of history land while you're still reading the screen. Your first mock draft can start the moment it finishes.

Yes, and it takes about fifteen seconds: email, password, username, done. We keep it minimal so your work follows you across devices and your commish can find you. No phone number, no real name, no personal info beyond that.

The web at offseason.org, in any modern browser, phone or desktop. Native apps are on the way. Sign in once and your league follows you across devices.

Every seat is a persona built from what that manager actually did in your league's real drafts: which positions they take early, how far past a player's draft slot they'll reach, how they treat keepers. With 8 synced seasons there's a lot to learn from. Your keepers are pre-applied and traded picks are honored, so the board looks like your board. Everyone in the league sees the same personas, including their own, and every persona is built only from real stored facts.

Two data planes feed a seven-layer engine: your league's own scoring and roster rules, your actual waiver pool, market value from millions of real trades, and 5,000 paired season simulations per evaluation. It also models the counterparty from your league's real transaction history, so it tells you whether they're likely to say yes. It calibrates itself against your league's settled seasons at 0% median scoring error across 3,401 real player-weeks. The full method is in the whitepaper.

Whether each keeper beats its round cost, priced against your league's own settings and draft board rather than a generic ranking. It shows the eligible list, the cost, and the honest verdict before the deadline, so the decision is math instead of vibes.

As deep as your league does. Standings and champions from every synced season, all-time head-to-head records, last-place finishes, keeper history, and a draft report card for every manager, every year. An 8-season league lands with 8 seasons of receipts.

Yahoo today, ESPN on the way. Link your Yahoo league once and Offseason keeps it in sync through the season: keepers, the draft, transactions, standings, and records. We'll say so here the day ESPN lands, and we won't claim it before then.

The Yahoo connection is read-only. Offseason reads your league and never writes anything back to Yahoo: no lineup changes, no trades, no roster moves. Your league's data stays inside your league here, we never sell or rent it, and unlinking Yahoo cuts the connection. The full breakdown is in the privacy policy.

Only when you post it. Mocks, trade verdicts, and almanac entries are yours until you share them, and sharing is one tap that drops the artifact into league chat. The exception is the stuff that was already public in your league: the record book, The Wire's waiver history, and mock personas are built from facts everyone can see, so everyone sees the same version.

Every one. No premium tier, no per-tool unlock, no limit on how many mocks you run or trades you grade. Every member of your league gets the same toolkit as the commish.

Connect your Yahoo fantasy league. That creates your league here, makes you the commissioner, and pulls the whole roster and history in at once. Then open league settings, grab your invite link, and share it with the group. Anyone with the link can join, with or without their own Yahoo account.

Leagues support up to 100 members, and you can join as many leagues as you want: the fantasy league, the office league, the family league. Each league keeps its own home, chat, tools, and history.

Not much, by design. The commish connects the league, shares the invite link, manages members, and can turn on the optional extras like The Gazette. The tools run themselves, and every member gets the same access.

No. Your league keeps running where it runs. Offseason sits alongside it as the league's HQ: the record book, the tools, the chat, and the artifacts you post into it. We read from Yahoo and never write back.

Ask your commish to remove you, or, if you linked your own Yahoo account, unlinking it removes you from every Yahoo league at once. Your history stays in the record book for the league you leave. A one-league leave option is on the list.

Almost none, and that's the point. One connection, one invite link, and the toolkit is live for everybody. If you can run a group chat, you can run an Offseason league.

Use "Forgot password?" on the sign-in page and we'll email you a reset link. Standard stuff, no special recovery dance required.

Not in-app yet. If you need to change your username (say it has personal info you want removed), email support@offseason.org and we'll take care of it.

From your profile settings, or by emailing support@offseason.org. We permanently delete your data within 30 days, per our privacy policy.

Just what we need to run your account and your league: email, a hashed password, your username, and the league data Yahoo hands us when you connect. We never sell, rent, or license it, and we don't share it outside the people in your own league. The one exception is the service providers that keep the platform running (hosting, email delivery), covered in the privacy policy.

No. Offseason is funded by the people who built it. If that ever changes, we'll be upfront about it here first.

Make sure you're signed in to Yahoo as a manager in that league, then retry the connection from league settings. A first sync of 8 seasons takes a few minutes, so give it a moment before you call it stuck. Still nothing? Email us with the league name and we'll look at the sync log.

Offseason pulls every season Yahoo still exposes for your league. If a year is missing, it's usually one Yahoo no longer serves through the API, or a season that ran on a different platform. Email us the league and the missing year and we'll tell you which it is.

Tell us. Every number traces back to the data that produced it, so send the tool, the league, and what you expected to support@offseason.org and we'll trace it. The scoring engine self-calibrates against your league's own settled results, so a real mismatch is a bug worth finding.

Not yet. There is no notification system today, so nothing is sent by push or email. Deadlines show in the app and artifacts post to your league chat when they land. Reminders are on the roadmap.

Email support@offseason.org with the steps to reproduce and a screenshot if you can. We read every report and usually respond within a day or two.

The second act. When the fantasy season wraps, Offseason keeps your league together with year-round competitions your league picks (sports, awards nights, reality TV, draft-order games), one set of standings, receipts all year. Your league's draft order might never be random again.

Later this season. We're not putting a date on it, and we're not naming specific events until they're real. Sync your league now for the toolkit and you'll see the rest the day it lands, in the same place, with the same league.

No. The toolkit stands on its own, and it always will. Year-round competitions are something your league opts into, not a tax on the tools.

A call you put on the record: a title, one to four questions, and the time it happens. Keep it solo, open it to the whole league, or challenge one person head to head. You commit your own pick when you create it, so there's no take-backs, and the creator grades it when the moment passes.

Never. Same rule as everywhere else in Offseason: no stakes, no payouts, no IOUs tracked. Your record is the prize, and the receipt is the payout.
