Sleeper imports the basics. My Fantasy League. Every scoring rule, every threshold, every quirk. Alpha brings them all over. The only thing we leave behind is the UI.

SUNDAY · 1:00 ET · PHASE 3

Your league has the call.

One Sunday tab covering six games and every group chat - wins routed live, trades surfacing the second they post, your room narrating the day.

Alpha Leagues: Scoreboard / Fantasy Zone (live)
The actual Scoreboard. Live on commishforge.com today.

One Room. Every Owner.

You're in a league with people you can't reach.

Most leagues are friend-of-a-friend. You know two or three owners. The other nine are strangers you've shared a season with for years. Comms is how you finally talk to them.

Right Now
  • There's an owner you've been in this league with for three years and never spoken to.
  • You don't have half the league's phone numbers.
  • DMing the new guy means texting the commish first to ask for his number.
  • The trade offer dies in a 14-person iMessage half the league isn't on.
  • The rule clarification is buried in last August's Discord.
  • Two owners are arguing in a side DM you can't see.
  • New owner joins. Gets added to four chats. Misses the fifth.
  • You're the contact list. You're the search bar. Every week.
With Alpha
  • DM any owner without ever asking for a phone number.
  • The wall between the cliques comes down on day one.
  • The new guy is one click from saying hi.
  • Trade threads stay attached to the trade.
  • Every owner sees what every owner says.
  • You stop forwarding. You stop screenshotting. You moderate.
Alpha Leagues: Comms, Sunday-night live thread
Your league, one room. Every owner, one click away.
Your commish picks the platform. Your league lives in it.

The wall comes down.The room opens up.

The Trade Block

List a player. Watch the league wake up.

Tag any player or pick as available and the whole league sees it the moment you post. Offers stack, side-talk starts, the bench becomes a board. Nobody else gives you that.

Alpha Leagues: Trade Block (prototype, Pass-2 visual target)
List the player. The league does the rest.

The board is open. The league is talking. Your roster is in play.

Your League. Your Terms.

Every rule. Every setting.
Wired in.

Most platforms give you ten rules and a shrug. Alpha gives you the toggles your league actually argues about, and enforces them automatically. Flip the switches. Watch your rule sheet build itself.

Lineup nudges — DMs owners 12 min before kickoff if their flex is questionable
Dues chasing — sends payment reminders, locks rosters at the threshold you set
Keeper season — runs the keeper deadline + computes round-cost cascades

Alpha drafts. You own.
24-year league. 2-minute fixes. Same commish.

Native mobile from day one. Set lineups, post trades, watch live scoring, talk shit in Comms - without leaving the couch or the group chat.

  • Live scoring that actually keeps up. No tab refreshing.
  • Set your lineup in 8 seconds. Push notifications if you forget.

Built To Outlast The Software

Charter pricing. Locked for life.

First 100 leagues lock founding pricing forever. After the cohort closes, standard pricing applies to new leagues only. Yours never moves.

Founding Cohort · Now
$99/season
per league · up to 14 owners · locked for life

Everything Alpha runs. Comms. Trade Block. Wild Card. AI co-commish. Custom rules. Mobile. Migration. White-glove onboarding. No tier games, no upsells. Lock the price now and it never moves - even when 2027 standard goes up.

Standard · After Cohort Closes
TBD
priced before 2027 season · new leagues only

Standard pricing for leagues joining after the Founding Cohort closes. Will be priced fairly relative to the depth Alpha ships. Founding leagues are never migrated to standard - that's the deal.

The Founding Promise. We don't move you to a new tier. We don't add upsells. We don't make a feature standard, then paywall it back out. The price you sign today is the price you pay for as long as your league runs on Alpha.

BUILT IN OUR LEAGUE.

We got tired of running it the hard way.

Twenty-four years of league hacks, side contests, and Sunday-night spreadsheets taught us what a league actually needs. Now we’re building all of it into Alpha. The platform we wish we’d had in 2002.

Co-Commish · F The Raiders
Twenty-four seasons co-commishing a 12-owner keeper league teaches you what owners actually want, and what they’ll quietly stop showing up for. Jeremy ran the Sportsbook ledger, logged every owner-vs-owner prop, kept the keeper rules straight, balanced the bookkeeping, and pushed out the weekly newsletter. Every Sunday. Every season. Every Alpha feature has a F The Raiders origin story.

Twenty-year arc from helpdesk to AVP, including stops at the Federal Reserve Bank of KC, Compass Minerals, and Lexmark, building and securing the kind of platforms Fortune 500s run on. Azure, VMware, Kafka, ELK, Jenkins, enterprise search across SharePoint. Stood up F The Raiders’ Discord server in the early days; he and Jeremy customized it together season after season into what it is now. Two decades turning messy infrastructure into systems people trust.
The engineering chops to turn our league hacks into a real platform.

One league. Two brothers. Every problem we ever had is now a feature.

The Honest Questions

What you actually want to know.

When does Alpha go live?
Live for the September 2026 NFL draft season. Founding Cohort onboarding begins July 2026 so leagues can run mock drafts and dial in their rule sheets before kickoff.
Will my owners hate me for switching?
Probably not. Native mobile from day one, Comms that actually works, lineup nudges before kickoff, one-tap everything. Your owners get a better experience than they have on Sleeper. The migration is on us — they don't need to do anything.
Do I own my league data? Can I leave?
Yes. Full export at any time — standings, rosters, transactions, scoring rules, comms history, payouts ledger. We're a ledger, not a hostage. If you ever leave Alpha, you walk out with everything you walked in with, plus everything we tracked while you were here.
Does Alpha collect or move money for owner-vs-owner props?
No. Alpha is the ledger. Owners propose terms to each other, owners agree, owners settle. Alpha records the agreement and tracks resolution. We never touch the money. That boundary matters for both legal and brand reasons — we don't operate a sportsbook, we keep your league's books.
What about My Fantasy League leagues with deep custom rules?
Alpha imports them. Every scoring rule, every threshold, every quirk — including the rules My Fantasy League is the only platform that supports today. Same depth, modern UI, native mobile. The only thing you lose is the My Fantasy League interface.
What happens during a Sunday outage?
Live scoring runs against multiple data feeds with automatic failover. We back up your league state every 60 seconds during games. If something breaks anyway, the on-call team is two brothers and your message gets answered — not a chatbot, not a ticket queue.
Who's running this thing?
Self-funded by Jeremy + Jason Brownlee. No outside capital. No VCs telling us to monetize features. We owe you, not investors. See the founder band below for the long version.
Can I run a mock with my league before committing?
Yes. Founding Cohort members get a 30-day pre-season window to run mock drafts, dial in rules, and onboard owners before regular-season scoring starts. If your league bails before September 2026 kickoff, full refund — no questions.
