Step 1: Lineup Construction (6 Starting Positions)
Each manager must select exactly 6 active athletes from our pool of 26+ verified football stars before weekly kickoff:
- 1 Quarterback (QB): The offensive engine. Scores through passing yardage, passing TDs, and rushing contributions.
- 1 Running Back (RB): Ground workhorse. Accumulates points through rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and receptions.
- 2 Wide Receivers (WR): Deep aerial threats. Generates value via receptions (PPR format), receiving yards, and explosive TDs.
- 1 Tight End (TE): Red-zone target specialist and intermediate safety valve.
- 1 Defense / Special Teams (DEF): Team unit scoring via sacks, interceptions, fumbles recovered, safeties, and points allowed.
Step 2: Official Scoring Matrix (Half-PPR Standard)
CanadaLottoHub utilizes an audited 0.5 Point Per Reception (Half-PPR) scoring format to balance ground and aerial value:
| Action / Stat Category | Fantasy Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| Passing Touchdown | +4.0 Points |
| Passing Yards (per 25 yards) | +1.0 Point (+0.04 / yd) |
| Rushing / Receiving Touchdown | +6.0 Points |
| Rushing / Receiving Yards (per 10 yards) | +1.0 Point (+0.1 / yd) |
| Reception (Catch) | +0.5 Points |

| Field Goal Made (0-39 / 40-49 / 50+ yds) | +3.0 / +4.0 / +5.0 Points |
Step 3: Algorithmic Match Simulation
Once your 6-player starting roster is fully assembled on the Home page, our proprietary simulation model generates 500 predictive outcomes based on:
- Expected snap counts and opponent defensive DVOA ratings.
- Red-zone target distributions and weather conditions (wind speed, precipitation).
- Historical home/away splits across North American stadiums.
Step 4: League Entry & Prize Distribution
