What it is

Draft companies. Compete for bragging rights.

Draft companies like you’d draft players. Build your roster, face other managers, and see whose business instincts come out on top.

This is not a stock trading simulator or investment portfolio. You do not buy stocks; you build a virtual team and compete on what happens in the real business world.

Every week, your roster faces a league rival. Market movement, major company developments, and CEO leadership shape the score—and the team with the better business instincts wins the matchup.

Only the commissioner pays. Invited players join free with a free CFL account.

The Rulebook

How scoring works.

Scores are calculated using a transparent, deterministic rulebook. AI may classify qualitative news events, but deterministic CFL scoring rules determine the points.

Market Movement

Market performance contributes directly to scoring, with company returns evaluated alongside broad-market and sector context.

Business Events

Company developments such as earnings, deals, launches, and SEC filings affect scoring according to the deterministic rulebook.

CEO / Leadership

Qualifying leadership actions and strategic decisions contribute to scoring based on their impact and direct executive involvement.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything you need to know before starting your league.

Do I need to buy stocks?

No. CEO Fantasy League is a fantasy competition. You draft virtual representations of real companies, but you do not buy or trade actual equities, and no money is invested in the market.

Does every player have to pay?

No. Only the commissioner pays to create the league. Invited players join and compete for free. They only need a free CFL account, and no credit card is required.

What does the commissioner buy?

The commissioner makes a one-time purchase for either an Up to 6 Months or Up to 1 Year league. That purchase covers creation of the league for the full group; invited players do not pay separately.

How is scoring determined?

Scoring is determined by a deterministic rulebook that evaluates market price movement, business events, and CEO actions. While AI may classify qualitative events, the points awarded strictly follow the rules engine.

Can I create a classroom league here?

No. Classroom CFL is a separate experience managed through the Educator Platform. Classroom leagues do not consume consumer league purchases.

What is the difference between Up to 6 Months and Up to 1 Year leagues?

Both packages include all features (draft, trades, playoffs). The only difference is the maximum length of time your competition season is allowed to run.
