Customizable Options
Over 140 commissioner settings to tailor every aspect of your league — from scoring to roster rules to playoff formats.
How It Works
Atlas Fantasy gives commissioners unprecedented control over their leagues. With over 140 customizable settings, you can fine-tune every aspect of your league experience — from how points are scored to how playoffs are structured, from roster composition to trade rules.
Every setting has a sensible default, so you can launch a league in minutes. But for commissioners who want full control, the options are there. Settings are organized into logical categories: Scoring, Roster, Draft, Waivers & Trades, Schedule & Playoffs, and League Behavior.
Changes to settings can be made at any point during the season (with appropriate restrictions on scoring changes mid-season). All setting changes are logged in the league's audit trail for transparency.
Setting Categories
Point values for every stat category, bonus thresholds, and scoring format (PPR, half-PPR, standard, custom).
Starting lineup slots, bench size, IR spots, position eligibility, and roster limits.
Draft type, order, timer, keeper rules, auction budget, and auto-pick behavior.
Waiver type, processing schedule, FAAB budget, trade deadlines, and veto rules.
Regular season length, playoff format, seeding, consolation brackets, and tiebreakers.
Visibility, notifications, chat permissions, inactive team handling, and commissioner powers.

Commissioner Tips
- 1Start with defaults. Atlas defaults are battle-tested across thousands of leagues. Only change what you specifically want to customize.
- 2Lock scoring before the draft. Changing scoring mid-season is controversial. Set your scoring format and communicate it to all managers before draft day.
- 3Use the preview tool. Before finalizing settings, use the "Preview Scoring" tool to see how last season's stats would score under your rules.
- 4Document your rules. Use the league message board to post a summary of non-default settings so all managers know what they're signing up for.
