DraftMates Fairness & Community Principles

1. Compete Hard, Compete Fair

DraftMates is built for serious league competition. Strategy and intensity are encouraged; exploitative behavior, abuse, and manipulation are not.

2. Respect League Members

Debate picks, not people.
Keep interactions professional and inclusive.
No targeted harassment, threats, or personal attacks.

3. Transparent League Governance

Commissioners should communicate rule updates clearly and apply them consistently. Ownership transfers, roster assignments, and key league actions should remain auditable and understandable to all members.

4. Data Responsibility

Use shared analytics responsibly. Do not intentionally spread false player/news information within league channels to mislead participants.

5. Collaborative Dispute Resolution

For disputes about deadlines, lineups, auction operations, or scoring sync, escalate through your commissioner first. If unresolved, contact DraftMates support via Contact Coach.

6. Positive League Culture

Great leagues last multiple seasons. Build trust, communicate clearly, and keep competition enjoyable for everyone.
