The ten-team format is the full Waiver Arena room for a larger private league. The host can enter names directly or invite each player to claim one unique team before the draw is sealed.
The full-size format for established private leagues, pub events and larger social groups.
Each team plays every other team twice before the top-four finals stage. The host selects the room size before invitations are created. A draft can be reduced before seal only when it will not remove a ready team.
The commissioner chooses exactly 10 teams, a start time and reveal pace. Team names cannot repeat, including case or spacing variants.
Commissioner-entered teams are ready straight away. Blank slots receive one-time player invitations; each account can claim only one team in the game.
