Frequently asked questions

Answers to what commissioners, dynasty players, and skeptical league mates ask most about League Tycoon.

General

What is League Tycoon?
League Tycoon is the dynasty fantasy football platform. Standard dynasty is completely free, and contract dynasty adds salary caps and multi-year contracts for leagues that want more depth. The platform includes slow auction drafts with 20+ players at once, trade auctions, compensatory picks, draft lottery, league history and Hall of Fame, mobile app, web access, and zero ads.
Is League Tycoon only for contract dynasty leagues?
No. League Tycoon is built for dynasty leagues as a category. Standard dynasty is the core of the platform and is completely free. Contract dynasty is a deeper format for leagues that want salary caps and contracts. The platform also supports Graveyard, Gambit, and Ranked formats.
Is League Tycoon a mobile app or a website?
Both. League Tycoon has a native mobile app available on iOS and Android, and a full web experience accessible from any modern browser. You can use whichever you prefer, or switch between them. The experience and features are consistent across both.
Does League Tycoon have ads?
No. League Tycoon has zero advertisements and zero sportsbook clutter. It is a pure fantasy football platform with no engagement bait.
How much does League Tycoon cost?
Standard dynasty is completely free. That includes slow auction drafts, trade auctions, compensatory picks, draft lottery, league history and Hall of Fame, mobile app, web access, league chat, and zero ads. Contract dynasty features cost $11.99 per team per year via a token. You can explore all contract features for free before September 1st activation.

Contract Dynasty

What is a contract dynasty league?
A contract dynasty league is a dynasty fantasy football format where every player has a salary and contract length. Teams operate under a salary cap, creating GM-style decisions about who to keep, extend, franchise tag, or release. Contracts expire over time, creating natural roster turnover and strategic depth.
How is contract dynasty different from standard dynasty?
Contract dynasty adds salary caps, expiring deals, and more offseason decisions. Standard dynasty keeps the rules simpler while still delivering the full long-term dynasty experience. Both are fully supported on League Tycoon.
Is contract dynasty too complicated?
Contract dynasty adds strategic depth, but League Tycoon makes the information clear and accessible. Cap space, contract details, and available moves are visible at a glance. Most players find it intuitive once they see it in action, especially because everything is managed inside the platform, not on spreadsheets.
Do I need spreadsheets to track contracts?
Not on League Tycoon. All salary caps, contracts, extensions, franchise tags, rookie options, and compliance are managed automatically inside the platform. This is the core advantage. Other setups require spreadsheets and manual tracking, but League Tycoon does not.

Switching Platforms

How do I switch my league to League Tycoon?
Create your league on League Tycoon, configure the rules and format, set up rosters (import or manual), and invite your league mates. The platform provides commissioner tools to help with the transition. Most leagues complete the switch in a few sessions.
Will my league mates be frustrated by a new platform?
League Tycoon's modern UI is designed to be easy to learn. The mobile app and web experience are clean and intuitive. Most league mates adapt quickly, especially if they're coming from older or more cluttered platforms.
Will we lose our league history if we switch?
No. League Tycoon's Hall of Fame lets you backfill your league's entire history: all-time standings, trophies, head-to-head records, and high scores. You can view regular season and playoff records separately. Your league's legacy stays intact.
Can I convert a standard dynasty league to contract dynasty?
Yes. Many leagues make this transition. You can assign initial contracts and salaries to existing rosters when setting up on League Tycoon. The commissioner guide covers best practices for this conversion.
What if my league mates think contract leagues are too complex?
Show them the platform. When contract information, cap space, and available moves are visible and clear rather than buried in spreadsheets, the complexity becomes manageable. League Tycoon is designed to make contract leagues accessible to every member, not just the commissioner.
