# Season Structure The game's season structure is designed to emulate the rhythm of an actual football league, with each in-game year divided into distinct phases: a two-week offseason, followed by a month of regular season, and concluding with two weeks of playoffs. This cycle not only simulates the seasonal flow of traditional sports, but also injects a sense of urgency and anticipation into the gameplay. Players must strategize not just for the immediate game but for the season at large, balancing short-term victories against long-term franchise development. Competitive seasons in Draftables are punctuated by a matchmaking rating (MMR) system that ensures fairness and competitiveness within the game's ecosystem. The MMR dynamically adjusts based on performance, pairing franchises against similarly skilled opponents, making every match a test of strategy and skill. As seasons progress, players can climb the ranks, striving to achieve higher league status, and earn more valuable rewards. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
