Question 3

How does the snake draft work?

Accepted Answer

In a snake draft, teams pick in order (1, 2, 3, 4) then the order reverses for the next round (4, 3, 2, 1). This continues for all 6 rounds. Draft order is randomly assigned when each user enters the draft room — nobody knows their slot until they join.

Question 4

When do fantasy rosters lock each week?

Accepted Answer

Rosters lock at 9:00 AM PST every Saturday morning — the day of each Pro Motocross race. You have all week to set your lineup, add free agents, and complete trades before the Saturday deadline.

Question 5

How are fantasy points calculated?

Accepted Answer

Points are calculated per moto from official AMA results. 1st place earns 25 points, 2nd earns 22, down to 10th which earns 6. Bonuses include +4 for an overall win, +5 for a moto sweep (1-1), and +2 for beating your season average by 3 or more positions. Maximum is 61 points per rider per round.

Question 6

How many riders do I draft?

Accepted Answer

Each team drafts 6 riders — 4 starters and 2 bench spots. Only your 4 starters score points each round. You can move riders between starter and bench slots any time before the Saturday 9am PST roster lock.

Question 7

What happens if a rider gets injured?

Accepted Answer

Injury news is automatically scraped from Racer X injury reports every Tuesday and Friday. OUT and QUESTIONABLE tags appear on injured rider cards. If your starter is injured, move a bench rider up before the Saturday 9am lock or claim a free agent from the waiver wire.

Question 8

How do waivers work?

Accepted Answer

All unowned riders are on waivers until Thursday midnight PST. Waiver claims are processed in reverse standings order — the team with the lowest points gets first priority. After waivers clear on Thursday, unclaimed riders become free agents available on a first-come first-served basis until the Saturday 9am lock.

Question 9

Can I start a league mid-season?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create a league at any point during the season. Your league's points tracking begins after your draft completes — previous rounds won't count. All teams start from zero, keeping competition fair regardless of when your league starts.

Question 10

How do I invite friends to my league?

Accepted Answer

After creating a league, your dashboard shows a unique invite link. Copy it and share it with friends via text, email, or social media. When they click the link and create a free account, they join your league instantly.
