Start with a balanced roster, save budget for value picks, and follow these steps before the first race.
Use your 100M budget to pick 5 male athletes, 5 female athletes and 3 relay teams.
When an ISU Short Track World Tour competition or championship starts, your roster locks. Official race results determine your score.
Wins, podiums and strong finishes add points. World records and special achievements trigger bonuses.
Between competitions, react to form, injuries and price changes by improving your team.
Beat your friends, your private leagues and managers across the global leaderboard.
A full pack on one tight oval, no lead safe until the line. It's the most unpredictable sport on ice — and the most fun to manage.
Pack racing means contact, crashes, and disqualifications can shake up the result on the final corner — no lead is ever safe.
500m, 1000m, and 1500m each competition means hat tricks (top-3 in all three) happen and your squad scores from every race.
Every point in Short Track Manager comes directly from official international results. No guesses, no delays.

The handful of things people ask before locking in a roster. Want the full picture?
Yes. Short Track Manager is a free fantasy league for short track speed skating, scored on real ISU World Tour results. You pick 5 men, 5 women and 3 relay teams within a ◆100M budget and score from every World Tour stop, the World Championships and the Olympics.
How to play →Yes — the Basic plan is free forever. Pro adds more transfers, private league creation, and deeper analytics tools.
No. Points and prices come from real results, but the game tracks all of that for you. Pick the skaters you believe in and watch the races.
Straight from official international results — finishing positions, podiums, and relays. A skater's price rises and falls with recent form, so spotting who's about to peak counts as much as picking the stars.
Yes. Every transfer window lets you swap skaters as form and prices move — 5 transfers on Basic, 10 transfers on Pro.
Seasons run June 1 to May 31. Scores and leaderboards reset each season, but your account, leagues, and subscription carry over.
Each skater earns placement points at 500m, 1000m and 1500m: 1st place is worth 100,000 points and every place below is worth 85% of the one above. World Championships count ×2 and the Olympics ×3. Relays score the same way, and bonuses come on top.
