FAQ

Is there any gambling or money involved?
No. Sim Sunday has no wagering, no entry fees, no prizes, and no payouts of any kind. Leaderboards are for bragging rights only.

Do I need an account?
No. Solo leagues need nothing. You can join a friend's league with just a code. Hosting an online league uses Sign in with Apple.

How long is a season?
You choose the pace. A week runs from seconds to a few minutes, with a short lineup window before it. A whole season with playoffs fits in an afternoon.

Can I stop and come back?
Yes. Leagues save automatically and resume where you left off.

How does IR work?
A player out with an injury can move to an IR spot, which frees his bench spot. Leagues made in the app have one IR spot (Pro sets 0 to 3); a league you bring from Sleeper keeps its own IR rules. Once he's healthy, activate him before you make more adds or trades.

How does my streak work?
Finish the Daily Challenge on consecutive days (each day starts at 4 AM New York time). Every 7 days in a row earns a streak saver, up to 2, and a saver covers a missed day on its own. Savers are never sold and aren't part of Pro. Sign in with Apple to keep your streak on a new phone.

What are Divisions?
Each week (Monday 4 AM to Monday 4 AM New York time) your first Daily puts you in a division of 30. Every Daily you finish scores points by where you placed among everyone who played it. At the end of the week the top 5 move up a tier and the bottom 5 move down: Sandlot, Varsity, Pro, All-Pro, Hall of Fame.

Will Sim Sunday send me notifications?
Only if you say yes, after your first Daily. Sunday Kickoff comes Sunday at 11 AM if you haven't opened the app that day; a Friend Alert comes when a friend posts a Daily score. At most one a day, never between 10 PM and 9 AM. Switch either off under Profile → Nudges.

Is there chat?
League chat: every league you play with other people has its own thread, from the lobby to the champion. Messages are kept for 30 days. Long-press a message to report it or block its sender; reported messages come down, and a blocked player's messages disappear for you. Chat notifications are off until you switch them on under Profile → Nudges, come at most once every 2 hours per league, and aren't one of the day's nudges. Mute a league's chat from its menu to stop its notifications. League chat is for players 13 and up, and in places where the law asks for it, players under 18 need a parent or guardian to say yes first.

What does Pro include?
Advanced commissioner settings, custom scoring, unlimited saved leagues, deeper stats and recaps, broadcast themes and app icons. Pro never changes simulation results.

Can I play on a plane?
Yes. Solo leagues play anywhere, from the rosters you last downloaded. The Daily Challenge plays offline too once the app has been online in the last day: your score posts when you're back online, and it counts if it posts before that Daily's 4 AM New York roll (after that, it's practice). An offline run has the same players, opponents and schedule as everyone's, with its game results drawn just for you. Friends sitting together can play a Nearby league with no internet: one phone hosts and the others join from the list or with a code. In airplane mode, turn Wi-Fi back on.

Can I pause?
Yes. In a solo league or the Daily Challenge, tap Pause at the top of the screen; every clock and the broadcast stop until you resume. In a league with friends, each manager gets one timeout a season.

What happens if I miss the playoffs?
You watch the rest of the bracket live, or skip straight to the champion. In the Daily Challenge your final score is posted right away. A host can also give knocked-out teams a consolation bracket.

How do I bring my league?
Tap Bring Your League on the home screen and type your Sleeper username. Pick a league to see its Playoff Odds, play the rest of the season out on your own, or host Play It Out Together: share the code and each friend claims their own real team. Not affiliated with Sleeper.

Can I bring a league from ESPN?
Yes, if it's viewable to the public. Tap Bring Your League, choose ESPN, and paste your league's link or ID. A private league can't come in: your commissioner can make it viewable to the public in the league's basic settings on ESPN. Sim Sunday never asks for your ESPN login. Not affiliated with ESPN.

Is my Sleeper data stored?
Not when you play on your own. The app reads Sleeper's public league data straight from Sleeper on your phone, and nothing about the import reaches our server. Play It Out Together is the exception: hosting it stores that league's team names, owner names and rosters on our server, like any group league, and they are deleted with your account.

How much is Pro?
$4.99, once, through the App Store. No subscription.
