Redraft League Style

  • Full Redraft

    The season begins with a draft of all available players. Draft order is determined randomly a few days before the draft. the draft follows the 3rd Round Reversal (3RR) style.

  • Scoring Style

    Scoring is done in the traditional Gonzo team-scoring format where unit production scores fantasy points rather than individual's production scoring fantasy points.

  • Lineups

    2 quarterbacks (QB), 3 running backs (RB), 3 wide receivers (WR), 1 tight end (TE), 1 kicker (K), 1 kick return team (KR), 1 offensive line (OL), 1 defensive line (DL), and 1 defensive backfield (DB).

  • Waivers

    Team owners may try to acquire free agents during the regular season by bidding for them with Gonzo cash. A team may sign one free agent from its list each week.

  • Cost

    Gonzo Redraft Leagues cost $125 per season per team. We offer discounts for multi-season purchases of a dynasty team (10% for 2 seasons & 25% for 3 seasons). If you are in a prize league there will be an additional fee.

  • Prizes

    100% of all prize funds paid by owners go into the prize pot for each league. The prize pot payouts are for the top 4 finishers in the Gonzo playoffs. 1st wins 1/2 (50%), 2nd wins 1/4 (25%), 3rd wins 1/6 (~17%) and 4th wins 1/12 (~8%). Size of each league's Prize Pot = (Teams Purchased * Prize Fee).
