Your fantasy app runs the matchups. GroupStakes runs the markets about the league — who shows up to the draft, who rage-quits by week 8, whose bold preseason take survives September. Members bet points, not money, and the leaderboard runs all the way to January.
Every fantasy league has standings. The hedge gives you a second set. One tap posts the board: who wins this league? — every manager on it by name. Put your points behind somebody. One rule, and the app enforces it: it can't be you.
Picks are blind. Nobody sees where the points went until the board locks two days later — then every pick flips face-up at once, and the group chat detonates. From there, two races run to January: your team, and your judgment.
Rosters are set, everyone's a genius for 48 more hours. One tap on the League Hedge template puts the whole roster on the board.
Stake points on the manager you believe in — heavy on a favorite or a flier on chaos. The app locks you out of your own name. Sorry buddy.
Picks stay hidden while the board is open. Two days after the draft it locks, and everybody's pick is revealed at the same moment — before a single snap.
The board rides to January. The right call on the worst draft in the room pays longshot odds — settlement night is the finale.
The draft is the Super Bowl of the friend group. Post these the day the date gets picked — the app's Draft Week template pack has one-tap versions.
