Quick answers about formats, payouts, Sleeper setup, and how the BALLSVILLE game works.
The Ballsville Game is a fantasy football ecosystem built around bestball tournaments, mini leagues, dynasty empires, and redraft tiers — all tied together by a formula that combines big payouts with great odds.
All core Ballsville leagues are hosted on Sleeper. You’ll draft, set lineups (where applicable), and view scores directly in the Sleeper app. This site handles the bigger game structure, leaderboards, and mini games.
Anyone who is old enough to play fantasy for money in their region and has access to Sleeper can join, as long as they follow our League Constitution & Code of Conduct. Some leagues or buy-in levels may have limited spots or returning-player priority.
We currently run large bestball games (the BIG game), mini bestball leagues, redraft tiers, dynasty/empire leagues, and specialty formats like Gauntlet. Each format has its own rules page and uses the Constitution as a baseline.
Buy-in amounts and payout structures are posted for each league before drafts start. Payouts are tied to league results and, for certain formats, Ballsville-wide tournaments. Full details live on the league info pages and in the League Constitution.
Live standings and tournament results are powered by our automated leaderboard engine. You can view them anytime on the Leaderboards page, which pulls data from Sleeper and applies Ballsville’s scoring and tie-break rules. *live is a timed update, roughly every 10 minutes during gametimes.
Mini Games are limited-time side contests, promos, or giveaways announced on the News page. Some use promo codes or quick entry forms and may offer free entries, credit, or small prizes. Each post will include rules and a closing time.
All leagues use the same Code of Conduct and League Constitution. It covers fair play, trading standards, collusion, tanking, and behavior in league chat. If you join any Ballsville league, you’re agreeing to those rules.
If you have a question about a league rule, trade, or mini game, you can reach us by email at theballsvillegame@gmail.com or in the Ballsville Discord. We try to resolve disputes quickly and in line with the Constitution.
The Constitution is the baseline, but each league can have its own bylaws, buy-ins, and scoring tweaks. When there’s a conflict, the specific league’s posted settings and bylaws take priority, as long as they don’t violate the spirit of the Constitution.
