How it works

Four steps. Seven players. One card each.

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.

01

Pick 7 players

From the full 2026 UFA slate — 878 players across 24 teams. Handlers, cutters, hybrids. Filter, search, done.

02

Assign a card to each

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.

03

Drop into an 8-team pod

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.

04

Stack wins all season

Season-long points and W-L both count. Your deck grows with daily card claims and epic drops. New pod next week. Repeat × 17.

LINEUP EDITOR · 7/7 STARTERS · 1 CARD EACH

The deck

A 60-card set, five rarity tiers, one card per starter.

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.

Common 20 cards

Nudges

Flat bonuses and small rule tweaks. Roughly +3 to +5. Reliable, unglamorous, everywhere.

e.g. Safe Possession — First turnover ignored
Rare 14 cards

Multipliers

1.5× to 2× stat multipliers, or +8 to +12 threshold bonuses. The workhorses of a lineup.

e.g. High Volume — +10 for 25+ completions
Epic 13 cards

Swings

2× to 3× multipliers or +15 to +20 bonuses. Pick the right matchup and an Epic wins you the week.

e.g. Clutch Play — Last Goal or Assist = +20
Legendary 11 cards

Game-winners

3× to 5× multipliers, +25 to +40 bonuses, or lineup-wide effects that stack across multiple starters.

Rare drops. Rarer plays.
Mythic 11 cards

Rule-benders

5×+ multipliers, 50+ bonuses, opponent-impact cards, lineup modifiers. The rarest stuff in the game.

If you pull one, you feel it.

Scoring model

The math is simple. The cards make it interesting.

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.

Example: huck-heavy handler

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.

Triple Dimes EPIC

2026 UFA season

17 weeks. New pod every week. No seasons-long commitment to making bad choices.

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

Common questions.

Is it really free?

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.

Do I need to know ultimate to play?

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.

How do I get more cards?

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.

What happens if a player doesn't play that week?

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.

Is Unbenchable affiliated with the UFA?

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.

What platforms does it run on?

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.

Are there plans for other sports?

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.

Who is behind it?

Built by hotlou — longtime ultimate player, ambassador at Hill Capital, and serial founder (OurFamilyWizard, 8thBridge, Evergreen, Combat Candy). If you want to say hi: ob@unbenchable.com.
