**One and Done Fantasy:** Field a fantasy lineup every week. No player twice.

Start a full fantasy lineup each week — QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, Flex, K, and D/ST. Once you start someone, they're gone for the season.

## How it works

1. Each week, start a full lineup: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, Flex (RB/WR/TE), K, and D/ST.
2. Every player scores real fantasy points under the pool's scoring format — standard, half-PPR, or PPR.
3. Once you start a player, that player is used for the rest of the season — no reuse.
4. Lineups lock at kickoff of each player's game (or earlier, per the pool's lock setting). Empty slots score zero.
5. Highest cumulative fantasy points across the season wins.

## Week 6 example (half-PPR)

1. QB throws for 2 TDs → 8 points
2. RB1 rushes for 80 yards and a TD → 14 points
3. Flex (a WR) catches 6 passes for 70 yards → 10 points
4. D/ST allows 24 points, no takeaways → 0 points
5. Lineup total: adds up across all nine slots

## How points are scored

Points mirror ESPN's default fantasy scoring exactly — PikSheet reads each player's total straight from ESPN rather than adding stats up itself. The only value your pool changes is what a catch is worth, which follows the pool's scoring format.

### Passing

| Stat | Points |
| --- | --- |
| Passing yards | 1 pt per 25 yards |
| Passing touchdown | 4 pts |
| 2-point passing conversion | 2 pts |
| Interception thrown | −2 pts |

### Rushing

| Stat | Points |
| --- | --- |
| Rushing yards | 1 pt per 10 yards |
| Rushing touchdown | 6 pts |
| 2-point rushing conversion | 2 pts |

### Receiving

Receptions are the only thing your pool's scoring format changes.

| Stat | Points |
| --- | --- |
| Each reception | 0 standard / 0.5 half-PPR / 1 PPR |
| Receiving yards | 1 pt per 10 yards |
| Receiving touchdown | 6 pts |
| 2-point receiving conversion | 2 pts |

## How to win

- Nine slots burn players fast — plan your bye weeks and your Flex usage months ahead, not week to week.
- D/ST and K score every week without touching your skill-position pool, so don't overthink them; save your deliberation for the Flex.
- A committee backfield is a trap — a shared workload rarely repeats a big week, so a bell-cow back is worth more than raw name value.
- PPR and half-PPR reward volume over efficiency — a possession receiver with 8 catches often outscores a boom-or-bust deep threat.

## What the commissioner controls

Every setting is configurable at pool creation and editable until the pool opens.

- Scoring format: standard, half-PPR, or PPR
- Start / end week (regular season only, weeks 1-18)
- Entry fee (optional — you collect, we don't touch it)
- Max entries per member

## Frequently asked questions

### What scoring format does One and Done Fantasy use?

The commissioner picks standard, half-PPR, or PPR at setup — same as any fantasy league. Points come straight from real NFL box scores.

### Can I start the same player in two slots or two weeks?

No. Nine different players every week, and never a player you've started before — that's the survivor twist on a normal fantasy lineup.

### What if I forget to set my lineup?

Empty slots simply score 0 that week. There's no elimination and no penalty — you're just leaving points on the field.

### Does One and Done Fantasy run in the playoffs?

No — it covers the regular season only, weeks 1 through 18.
