How a season plays

It works like fantasy football.
Every stock is a player.

Draft, set your lineup, talk trash, settle on the weekend — but the scoreboard is the real market.

Chapter one — Draft day

Chapter three — Settlement
No. 3

Winner takes a stock — and the capital.

Winners lift a stock straight off the loser's roster, plus a share of their capital — the league sets the stakes. Then the round-robin hands everyone a fresh opponent.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is any real money involved?

No. Every league runs on virtual capital — $100,000 by default, set by the host. Real market prices, real competition, zero financial risk.

How many people do I need for a league?

Two players make a league; up to twelve fit in one. You can even solo-draft to learn the ropes. Share the six-character join code and you're in.

Are the stock prices real?

Yes — live market data across 5,000+ listed stocks and ETFs. Scoring runs on real prices during market hours; between sessions, everything holds honestly flat.

What happens when I win a week?

You take one stock off your opponent's roster plus a percentage of their capital — the league sets it, anywhere from 2% to 20%. Then the round-robin hands you a fresh opponent.

Do I need to know anything about investing?

That's the point of the game. The academy takes you from "what's a stock?" to DCF models across 54 modules, and the practice floor lets you paper-trade before your first draft.
