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.
