The full formula is in lib/valuation.ts in the public source repository. Power Levels are uniform across all entrants; recomputed daily until lock; frozen at lock.

Each week, your best 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, and 1 FLEX (RB / WR / TE) from your17-player pool are automatically scored — you do not set lineups. Half-PPR (0.5 points per reception). Standard scoring weights for passing, rushing, and receiving apply. The full scoring formula is documented in lib/scoring.ts.

7. Winner selection

The winner is the entrant whose auto-optimal weekly lineups accumulate the highest total half-PPR points across NFL regular-season Weeks 1 through 18. Ties broken by (a) highest single-week score, then (b) earliest account creation date. The outcome is determined predominantly by skill in pool construction.
