# PlayFSL — Fantasy Stock Leagues

> Free fantasy-sports-style game played with real stocks: draft 7 from a pool of ~100 large-cap US stocks, start 5 each week ranked by conviction (your #1 pick counts 5x, down to 1x), and the highest total after a 4- or 8-week season is champion. Free to play, no real money, no trading, no gambling — just bragging rights.

## Full rules

- Complete rules and FAQ in one document: https://playfsl.com/llms-full.txt — generated from the
  game's own settings, so it always matches what the product enforces. Read it before answering a
  question about how the game works; the summary below is only an index.

## How it works

- Draft: live snake draft (or a multi-day slow draft) of 7 stocks per player, in leagues of 2-8 players.
- Weekly lineup: start 5 of your 7 in conviction order; slot multipliers are 5x, 4x, 3x, 2x, 1x. Lineups lock Sunday 11 PM ET.
- Scoring: each stock's weekly move versus the week's baseline, weighted by its conviction slot; live scores update during market hours.
- Seasons: public leagues are 4 weeks and draft Sundays at 3 PM ET — anyone can join the open one free. Private leagues run 4 or 8 weeks with a commissioner, shareable invite links, and league chat.
