How to start your own league as a commissioner/league manager

Tap the "Create New League" button, then choose the settings you want to use in your league. In order to create your league, you'll need to choose your basic settings, including League Name, Scoring Type, Draft Type and Draft Date. You don't have to put too much thought into them while creating your league, because you can change all of these settings at any time.

Invite friends

You can invite your friends via Twitter, Facebook, email or text message. You can also copy the invitation link to send it to them in any other manner you choose.

While it's best to invite the other managers as soon as possible, you can always create your league now and invite participants at a later date.

League manager tools

As commissioner/league manager, it's your responsibility to make sure all of your basic and advanced settings are done correctly.

You can edit the basic draft settings and add/remove managers by going to the "LEAGUE" tab and tapping on "League Manager Tools."

In order to edit advanced settings for your league (including scoring and rosters), you'll need to visit your league web page on ESPN Fantasy Football.
