Help & FAQ
The short version of how Shoulda works.
What is Shoulda? +
You make the calls for every team but your own — lineups, keepers, draft picks. They lock, hide, then score against what those managers actually did. Win the week when your shadow beats their reality.
How do I join a league? +
Your commissioner imports the league from Sleeper, then shares an invite link or code. Open the link, sign in, and claim your team. You can also add a league yourself from the home screen or your account page.
When do my picks lock? +
Lineups lock at kickoff, keepers at the league’s keeper deadline, and draft picks when the draft starts. Turn on reminders in Account → Notifications so you never miss a lock.
A teammate claimed the wrong team — can we fix it? +
Yes. The commissioner can release a team from the league page and the right person can re-claim it.
How do I archive an old league? +
Commissioners can archive a league from the Account page. It drops off the home screen — nothing is deleted.
