Who Funds the League?
Every dollar that's gone into KAW since 2013, and where it came back out — buy-ins, FAAB, GOAT fees, trade fees in; weekly pots and postseason payouts out.
Positive means you've won more than you've paid in. Negative means the league owes you nothing.

Where the Money Comes From
Career-wide, across every manager and every season:
The Annual Ledger
Every team, every season, commissioner-style.
Showing: 2026
Projected — this season hasn't happened yet.
Live through week 9 — weekly pots and GOAT fees assume a full 14-week season regardless of what's actually been played, since every week guarantees a pot winner and a GOAT no matter what. These are the season's minimum postseason pool and champion take-home; only FAAB spend and trade fees (added on top) can push them higher. One or more managers' FAAB totals didn't match Sleeper's own reported figure this week; treat these numbers as provisional until that's resolved.
| Manager | Team | Buy-In | FAAB Spent | Fees | Paid In | Pot Wins | Postseason | Net Winnings ↓ |

Methodology & caveats
Buy-ins: $300 (2013–2017), $500 (2018–2020), $300 (2021–2022), $350 (2023), $400 (2024–present). Weekly pot is $150, GOAT fee is $25, trade fee is $25/team — the trade fee is assumed unchanged back to 2013, since transaction history confirms who traded but not the historical cash rate that year.
Postseason payouts: 5th and 6th place each get $100, 3rd and 4th each get $150, 2nd gets $1,000, and the champion gets whatever's left in the pool. 2022 is the exception — that year's suspended finale meant Jay Alvarado and Michael LaPierre split the combined 1st/2nd pool equally as co-champions.
2018–2020 FAAB was virtual, not real cash — it contributes $0 to anyone's paid-in total those years, even though it's tracked elsewhere on the site.
2018-2019 The Big Lebowskis was co-owned by Oscar Nevarez and Sergio Nevarez. Those team-seasons remain one combined accounting entity; no unsupported 50/50 split is invented.
For seasons with more than six championship-bracket participants, exact 5th/6th placement-game results are not present in the canonical championship-path dataset. The two $100 payouts are assigned to the two highest regular-season finishers among playoff participants outside the top four, ranked by win percentage then PF, and marked inferred.
2012 is excluded.
