What’s the league format?
Prestige Leagues follow Yahoo’s default public league settings with one key difference: they use Free Agency Budget (FAB) for waivers. This adds a layer of strategy to weekly pickups, putting every manager on equal footing when it comes to free agents.
Why can’t I pick a time for the draft?
Prestige Leagues use Instant Drafts. When you’re ready, just tap “Join” and you’ll be placed in a league and start drafting within minutes. No need to schedule — it’s all about jumping into competitive play quickly.
Can I still play in regular leagues too?
Yes! Prestige Leagues are completely optional. You can still join or create public, private or custom leagues just like always.
