Frequently asked questions

How leagues, invitations, seats, and competitions work.

Leagues & joining

How many leagues can there be?

Members can create multiple independent leagues for a season. Each league has its own draft, GM teams, trades, injury reserves, and GM standings, with up to 32 GM seats.

Can I join more than one league?

Yes. You can hold one GM seat in each league you join. Each league requires its own seat entitlement. The weekly picks contest still gives your account only one entry per week.

Can the commissioner also be a GM?

Yes. A commissioner can use one of the 32 GM seats or manage the league without occupying a seat. A commissioner can transfer the role to another league member.

How do I invite someone?

After creating a league, its commissioner opens the Members page from the GM draft. They can email private invitation links or share a league invitation code. Email links are valid for seven days and may be used once; they require an account with the invited email address. An invitee can register or log in from the link.

Does an invitation hold a spot?

No. The GM seat is reserved when the recipient accepts the invitation or joins with the shared code. A league cannot reserve more than 32 GM seats. The commissioner may remove a pending seat before the draft starts.

Membership & payment

What does a GM seat cost?

A GM seat is $10 CAD per league for the season. A creator may instead sponsor all 32 GM seats for $320 CAD. That full-league payment covers membership seats, including the creator’s if they take a GM seat.

Why does my seat say “pending”?

The membership payment has not been confirmed yet, or a promised full-league sponsorship is still pending. A pending member can see the league but cannot join its GM draft. Once payment is confirmed, the seat becomes active.

Are competition fees included in the $10 or $320?

No. Membership and competition entries are separate. Competition prices have not yet been set, and online checkout is not connected. The membership payment record is confirmed by the pool administrator after payment is received.

Playing & scoring

Which competitions include all leagues?

Weekly Game Picks has one combined leaderboard across leagues and one entry per account per week. The Scoring Champion and Goalie GAA contests are also shared pool contests. GM draft standings, trades, and reserves belong to the selected league.

Can the same NHL player appear in another league?

Yes. An NHL player can be drafted once in each independent GM league. Inside one league, that player belongs to only one GM team at a time. Injury call-ups use undrafted players in that league.

Can I trade with a GM in another league?

No. Trades happen only between GM teams in the same league. Trading opens after that league’s draft and closes at its configured trade deadline.

What happens when one of my players is injured?

After the draft, you can request one of your three injury reserve spots and propose an undrafted replacement at the same position. The commissioner verifies the injury and approves or denies the request. Scoring changes when the call-up is approved; the full details are in the rules.
