Fantasy ultimate frisbee — 2026 UFA season
Pick seven players from the UFA slate. Assign a card to each starter. Compete inside an eight-team weekly pod. Live scoring every week, all season long.
How it works
Unbenchable takes standard fantasy ultimate frisbee and bolts a collectible card game on top. Your lineup picks do one job. Your cards do a different one.
From the full 2026 UFA slate — 878 players across 24 teams. Handlers, cutters, hybrids. Filter, search, done.
Every starter gets exactly one card from your deck. Cards multiply stats, add thresholds, kill turnover penalties, or bend the rules. One card instance per starter.
You're matched with seven other teams for the week. Live scoring pulls from actual UFA games as they happen. Best pod score takes the win.
Season-long points and W-L both count. Your deck grows with daily card claims and epic drops. New pod next week. Repeat × 17.

The deck
Commons are nudges. Mythics bend the game. The deck grows through daily card claims, weekly rewards, and the occasional epic drop. Every card tells your starter what they're trying to do.
Flat bonuses and small rule tweaks. Roughly +3 to +5. Reliable, unglamorous, everywhere.
1.5× to 2× stat multipliers, or +8 to +12 threshold bonuses. The workhorses of a lineup.
2× to 3× multipliers or +15 to +20 bonuses. Pick the right matchup and an Epic wins you the week.
3× to 5× multipliers, +25 to +40 bonuses, or lineup-wide effects that stack across multiple starters.
5×+ multipliers, 50+ bonuses, opponent-impact cards, lineup modifiers. The rarest stuff in the game.
Scoring model
Fantasy points are calculated from live UFA stat lines, then cards layer on top. No dice rolls, no fog of war — just a deterministic model you can reverse-engineer after any week.
Base weights
Cards stack on top
Scott Heyman gets 5 huck completions in a game. Baseline is +25 from the hucks. Equip Combat Candy Flexecutioner (+10 per huck completion) and that becomes +75 on the hucks alone, before goals, assists, or blocks.
2026 UFA season
Miss a week? The pod resets. Crush a week? You still start from zero next pod matchup. Season-long leaderboard runs in the background for bragging rights.

FAQ
Yes. No subscription, no entry fee, no paid tiers. Free all season. The whole point is to get more people into UFA fantasy, not to run a cash game.
You need to know enough to tell a handler from a cutter and roughly which teams are good. The card game layer adds a second lever that rewards paying attention even when you're not sure about a player. Onboarding gets you a starter deck.
Four ways. A daily card claim adds one card per day. Weekly pod rewards drop based on performance. Epic drops run throughout the season. And inviting a friend gets both of you a free Epic — no catch, no tier, just a card.
They score zero. The card is still consumed from your weekly deck. The lineup lock warns you about bye weeks and no-games-this-week starters before you commit, so you can swap out.
Not officially. Unbenchable is an independent fantasy ultimate frisbee product built by fans of the league using publicly reported UFA stats. That said, it's fair to say that the UFA is thrilled by all projects that activate fan engagement.
Anywhere with a browser. Unbenchable is a responsive web app — phone, tablet, desktop. No app store download, no install. A native mobile app may follow, if popularity demands it.
The 2026 season is UFA only. The system is designed to expand to other sports down the line, which is why the logo is a bench and not a disc. Talk to us if you want in early on that.
