Example settings below use the game defaults. Your league may use different values.
Run a league your way
In Leagues, choose Create League and set the rules everyone will play by.
Choose a name, optional description, public or private access, and the maximum number of members.
Set a starting budget and choose custom rounds or the full-season option. The creator is automatically a member.
Configure pool size, wishlist size, division size and the free-agent discount. Explain these settings to your friends before they join.
Budget: 1,000 (default). Pool: 15 (default) players. Wishlist: 20 (default) choices. Division: up to 10 (default) teams. Free-agent discount: 20%.
The pool is the number of players a team drafts; the wishlist is its ranked selection list. Division size controls how many teams compete for exclusive players in each draft group.
League duration counts weekly competition rounds, not individual PWHL games. The form currently offers 1–11 custom rounds or a 12-round full-season option. This budget is virtual game money.
Bring your friends into the league
A private invitation code is the simplest way to get your group playing together.
Open your private league, select Settings, and find Invitation Code.
Choose Copy, then paste the code into a message to your friends.
Ask friends to sign in, create their team, and enter the code in Leagues → Join by code.
Friends join the league, but larger leagues can have multiple divisions. Joining the same league does not guarantee being in the same weekly draft division.
Find your competition
A league may be full or no longer accepting members. An invalid code cannot join a private league; ask the owner to check it.
Draft participation depends on the weekly division setup. If you joined after it ran, follow the Draft status and wait for the next weekly setup rather than expecting an instant roster.
Let your wishlist do the drafting
The weekly draft runs automatically. You do not need to be online for each pick.
Each division uses a randomized snake order: the picking order reverses each round. Review the draft board, replay and history afterward.
The draft attempts to fill a pool of 15 (default) players. It checks your ranked available choices against remaining budget, then uses fallback players when needed. Your wishlist is not a guarantee of your final roster.
