THE WILD CARD LEAGUE PLAYBOOK
How the league works.
Sleeper runs the league. Wild Card League adds the weekly layer, then checks the math when the games are done.
Sleeper is official.
Roster changes, matchups, player stats, and final team scores all come from Sleeper. Wild Card League calculates the weekly modifiers and gives the commissioner a clear audit trail. It never replaces the official league record.
THE WILDCARD MENU
Possible modifiers
QB1 · RB1 · WR1 · TE1 · FLEX1 · K1 · DEF1
A boost or penalty from -50% to +100% applies only to the first lineup slot of that type.
FOR EVERY MANAGER
Your weekly rhythm
Draft and manage
Build and manage your roster in Sleeper as usual. Sleeper remains the official record for rosters, matchups, player stats, and final points.
Play the weekly twist
Each week has a published set of three modifiers. A rule can affect a whole position, one first lineup slot, or a scoring event.
Check your matchup
Use the league dashboard for the live view and open a matchup to see the player-by-player score breakdown.
Wait for final scores
Scores can change while Sleeper is still receiving game data. The audit is meaningful after the commissioner finalizes the week in Sleeper.
FOR COMMISSIONERS
Keep the record clean
Before the week
Review the upcoming modifier set in the commissioner desk and confirm the rules are ready before publishing them.
During games
Manage the league in Sleeper normally. The app reads Sleeper data and does not replace Sleeper roster or scoring controls.
After games
Review the final player and team scores in Sleeper. Enter any official corrections there using Sleeper’s commissioner tools.
Run the audit
Open the league’s Verification page and check every team. A mismatch means the Sleeper final score and the modifier calculation need review.
Resolve exceptions
Investigate any mismatch in the matchup detail view, then correct the official Sleeper score before treating the week as final.
AUDIT STATUS
What the labels mean
VERIFIED
Sleeper’s finalized team score matches the modifier-adjusted calculation.
