Snake-draft NCAA players, score points as they survive each round, and watch your team rise on the live leaderboard.
A full-stack project built solo, end to end — real-time draft room, an actual bracket simulation engine, and two Claude-powered AI features. Three ways in below, no signup required.
Draft Live
Run a real-time snake draft against AI opponents — then see how your team would have scored in the real 2026 tournament.
This is a real fantasy-sports web app for the NCAA March Madness tournament: you draft college players, their actual per-game tournament points accrue round by round, and a benched player automatically promotes into your starting lineup when a starter's team gets eliminated.
It's a genuine full-stack build, not a tutorial project — a real-time snake draft with concurrency-safe pick submission, a live scoring engine, Postgres with row-level security enforced throughout, and an AI draft advisor.
The demo above is the actual app running on real 2026 tournament data — no signup required.
1
Draft Live against AI opponents
A real-time snake draft — server-enforced pick timers, snake order, Claude-powered advisor — against 4 auto-drafting opponents, then see how your team would have scored in the real 2026 tournament.
2
Explore the commissioner toolkit
Land straight in a fully-seeded 8-team league with a season already drafted and scored through the Elite 8. Round-by-round scoring, bench overrides, injury subs, an AI-generated standings recap — the exact same tools a real logged-in league uses.
3
Or just browse the data
No provisioning, no session — a static, read-only view of a completed season's final standings and rosters.
What's actually running under the hood
Live Draft Room
Supabase Realtime broadcasts every pick instantly, with server-enforced pick timers, snake order, and full reconnect/rejoin state recovery.
Real Bracket Simulation
Demo and mock-draft seasons are simulated as a true single-elimination bracket — not independent coin flips — so every elimination and fantasy point traces back to one consistent simulated game.
Claude-Powered Advisors
A Sonnet-backed draft advisor reasons about positional needs and seed risk; a Haiku-backed narrator writes a fresh recap after every round.
Multi-Tenant by Design
Every league is isolated with Postgres row-level security — commissioner tools, rosters, and draft state are enforced at the database layer, not just in the UI.
Full Commissioner Toolkit
Draft order, scheduling, bench-order overrides, injury subs, and manual score corrections — each one gated to the draft phase it actually applies to.
Round-by-Round Leaderboard
Per-player, per-round breakdowns show exactly which games counted, which were bench strikethroughs, and when a player was eliminated.
