Demo League

The demo league lets anyone try the league experience before creating an account or connecting ESPN. It’s a read-only, fully-populated sample league — real dynasty data, but with every team name, owner, and league detail anonymized. No sign-up, no credentials, nothing to configure.

Trying it

You’ll find the entry points wherever the app would normally ask you to sign in:

Home page — an “Explore a demo league” link under the hero.
League page — a “Explore a demo league” button on the sign-in card.
My Team page — the same invitation on the signed-out empty state.

Click any of them and you’re dropped straight into The Show-Me League with the League and My Team tabs unlocked in the nav (each marked with a DEMO badge). A banner across the top reminds you you’re in the demo and offers a one-click way to sign up — or to exit back to the signed-out site.

What you can explore

Everything in the demo is live, interactive, and backed by a real league’s history:

Power Rankings — projection-based rankings with the full lineup breakdown.
Season Stats & Strength of Schedule — the same ranking views the real app offers.
Standings — win/loss/tie records across the league.
Matchup Scoreboard — the current matchup plus recent prior weeks, with per-category scoring.
Activity — the league’s transaction feed: trades, adds, drops, and waivers.
Trade trees — follow the ripple effects of the league’s most-traded players.
My Team — a full roster view for the demo’s featured team, with daily and projected stats.
State of the League — the full competitive-window scatter for every team, including AI-written team narratives.
Trade Finder — real, mutually-beneficial trade proposals for the featured team, each with its ✨ AI rationale.
War Room — a full category-by-category matchup triage for the featured team, with the ✨ AI game plan. It’s labeled Sample week because it’s a frozen snapshot, not the live week.

What’s different from a real league

The demo is a showcase, so a few things are intentionally turned off:

It’s read-only. Actions that would change data — claiming a team, editing rankings, adding players to a watchlist, grading trades, admin tools — are hidden or disabled.
Trade Finder and War Room show the featured team only. Switching to another club shows a short explainer instead — full coverage needs your own league.
Pickup recommendations are replaced with a short explainer and a prompt to sign up, since real recommendations need your own roster.
Keeper economics stay hidden. The Keepers, Ledger, and Trade Block tabs are reserved for real leagues.
Everything is anonymized. Team names, abbreviations, and owner names are replaced with consistent stand-ins, and the real league’s name and identifiers are removed. Player names are real (they’re public), but nothing ties the league back to its actual owners. AI text in the demo (narratives, rationales, game plans) is generated from the already-anonymized data, so it can’t echo real names either.

The demo data refreshes automatically on a weekly schedule, so it always reflects a recent, realistic snapshot.
