Starting your own league on BreakingPoint is straightforward and customizable. Follow these steps to set up the basics:

For Head-to-Head (H2H) Categories scoring, each category is treated as a mini-battle against your weekly opponent. The categories include:

You can customize the number of categories used depending on your league’s preferences.

In Head-to-Head Categories, teams compete each week in several statistical categories. Here’s how it works:


Each team is matched against another team for a week-long "game." Your goal is to win more categories than your opponent by the end of the week.

For example, if you win five categories and your opponent wins three, your weekly record will be 5-3.

Each category win gives you a point toward your weekly score. At the end of the week, your team’s record reflects the number of categories won.

The standings reflect your win-loss record across the season. Teams with the best records by the end of the regular season advance to the playoffs.

Keeping your team competitive means adjusting to injuries, slumps, and breakout players by picking up free agents and making trades.

Free agents are players not currently on any team’s roster. You can add these players to improve your team when a spot opens.

The playoff matchup will depend on the season length of the League. For single-stage Fantasy Leagues, the playoffs will occur during the Major of that stage. For season-long Leagues, the playoffs will happen during Champs at the end of the year.

In Roto Scoring, teams compete based on their performance across each category rather than head-to-head matchups.

Instead of going head-to-head, each team accumulates points based on where they rank in each category compared to the other playoff teams.

For example, if your team scores the highest total rebounds among playoff teams, you’ll earn maximum points in that category.

After the playoff weeks, the team with the highest total points across all categories is crowned the league champion.

The goal of Gridlock is to fill the grid with 9 unique players that match the criteria for each row and column. You cannot use the same player in more than one square. You have ten guesses to complete the grid.

To be considered teammates, two players must have been on the same CDL-era roster at the same time. Substitutes are included. Coaches are not included unless they also served as a substitute.

Wins and rings from before the CDL era do count. While most squares will have multiple possible answers, some may only have one, so use your guesses carefully. A new puzzle will be available to solve each day.
