Undercut

Private F1 fantasy leagues for friends

Undercut leagues are invite-only spaces for friends who already share a group chat, office floor, or race-night couch. There is no global public leaderboard to farm—standings and league chat stay with your crew. That constraint is the product: prediction games get more honest when the people reading the table know who you are.

Private by design

A private Undercut league is a closed competition room. You control membership with invites. There is no anonymous global ladder for your friend standings, and private picks are never published on public marketing or race pages.

For the full format definition—locked race picks, exact and near-miss scoring, and post-race receipts—read the private F1 prediction league guide (/private-f1-prediction-league). This page focuses on how leagues are created, joined, and run day to day.

Create, invite, and join

  1. Create a league — spin up a private room, set the circle, and generate an invite code. You decide who gets in.
  2. Share the code — drop the invite in Slack, iMessage, Discord, or wherever your paddock already lives. No public discovery feed is required.
  3. Join and compete — members lock race picks, talk through the weekend in private league chat, chase championship projections, and track standings as the season unfolds.

Why private leagues beat anonymous ladders

  • Accountability — trash talk lands because everyone knows the faces behind the usernames.
  • Fair pace — your group is not competing against industrial pick farms on a public board.
  • Shared calendar — one hub for deadlines, race status, and who still needs to submit.
  • Season story — championship picks and race-by-race points keep rivalry alive between lights-out moments.

League control

League owners manage invites and the active fantasy prediction configuration that drives scoring presentation. Members compete under those shared rules. Point totals follow Undercut scoring (/scoring)—exact and near-miss positions, optional fastest lap, and bonus picks as in-app points only.

Private league chat

Keep race-weekend conversation beside the picks, deadlines, standings, and receipts that make the league useful. Chat is free and member-only—not a public social feed. Learn more on private league chat (/private-league-chat).

Optional Undercut Plus (Pick Lab)

Core leagues stay free. Undercut Plus (/plus) adds optional Pick Lab lineup checks, Bonus Pick Lab for weekend props, rivalry context, and deeper post-race explainers. Plus is never required to create a league or use private league chat.
