Built for auction drafts. Just as sharp in snake, dynasty and keeper.
One manager per league
The guy who always wins isn't smarter than you.
He just isn't drafting blind.
Casual 'fun' leagues, this isn't for you. But if a bad draft still sticks
with you... you lost a title on a brutal break... or it's been way too long since you
last won... you already know why you're still here.
League-specific draft values and a plan built around your exact room. Everyone at your draft is using numbers in their head, old data, generic cheat sheets...You get a custom Dashboard and phone Cockpit alongside your draft app. (Among much, much more.) I build it around your league myself. Below is how close I get.
Within five dollars a player. Everyone else was off by twelve.
82 players, priced before the draft. Then the room told us who was right.
I built RIVAUX for auction drafts first because that's where every mistake has a visible
price tag. But the math works everywhere. In an auction, everybody gets the same pool of money and bids real dollars
on players. Every
dollar you spend is one you don't have for the next guy.
So I put a price on 82 players before anyone bid. A national list did the same. Then nine
other managers spent real money, and we found out who was closer.

Imagine buying a week of groceries with a hundred dollars, using prices from a store across
town. Everything rings up twelve dollars higher than you expected.
You put something back. Then something else. In your draft, what you're putting back are the
running backs and receivers who win leagues.
You leave with money still in your pocket and nothing you actually wanted.
That's a draft with the wrong prices. Five dollars off and you adjust. Twelve and
you're working with leftovers all season, fighting for points off the waiver wire.
(Only counting players who sold for more than a dollar. Below that,
everyone guesses right and nobody cares.)
That sheet you're using was built for someone else's league.
Every public price is an average of thousands of drafts you weren't in.
Different roster sizes. Different scoring. Default settings that don't know what your room
actually values.
And even the tools that let you tweak the settings are still guessing. Numbers on a screen
don't capture the people sitting across from you. The one who always reaches for a
quarterback. The one who blows half his budget in the first twenty minutes.
An average leaves you with an average draft. Right for nobody in particular.
That's not laziness. That's just what an average is.
You're not in an average league. You shouldn't be drafting off an average price.
There's a guy in your league who figured this out years ago. He built his own sheet. He
updates it every season. He can call prices in your room within a couple of bucks.
That's not luck. That's ten years of homework.
RIVAUX is that sheet. Built for your league. Without the ten years.
I call it the Local Correction. Take the national price. Fix it for your rules and your room.
03The part you're already worried about
It doesn't draft for you. Every bid is still yours.
Saying that early, because a machine making your picks probably sounds awful. You didn't
get here by letting something else decide. A team built by a robot defeats the whole point.
Plus, where's the fun in that?
Think of it like a great caddie. He reads the green, calls the club, hands you the exact
number. But you're the one swinging, and he never touches the ball. I hand you the read.
You make every call.
Every pick or bid is yours. Every mistake too. And I build your board myself.
RIVAUX just makes sure you're the only one at that table who isn't guessing.
Which matters more than you'd think... because of what happens to everyone who is.
I'd love to show you more.But I can't show you everything.

04You've been here before
You always overpay for at least one guy.
Every year. You probably know while you're doing it... or maybe you don't.
You bid off a number you made up ninety seconds ago. Win a fight you should've walked away
from. He haunts you every Sunday. Or you wait too long and your money dies on the board.
That was never bad luck. It was a bad price.
And bad prices come from one thing... which is exactly what the room hands you, if you know
where to look.
05Looking at it the other way
An auction is more about the people in the room than the players.
Now you know what they'll pay before they do.
The guy who chases his own team's quarterback eleven bucks too high, or reaches two rounds
early for him. You let him.
Panicking on a run of players? You're already past it.
Somebody spends everything early and has nothing left for a running back, and desperation is
never pretty, and you're holding the guy he needs.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
Now you can be the one throwing it... once you know the three places the room
tips its hand.
06A sample
A few of the things it knows before you do.
The rest, I keep behind the door.
When a position is about to get expensive. It has nothing to do with the players.
There's a moment it flips, and almost nobody sees it coming.
Why everyone keeps passing on one player. That's often what makes him the best deal
left. The draft gives you clues even when nobody says a word.
The player on your roster who looked like a steal and isn't. Usually the pick you
felt best about.
Every one of those has an answer. None of them are on this page. What's on
this page is what it does to your reputation... which is the whole reason you're really here.
07Be the one they can't figure out
Every league has the spreadsheet guy. And the guy who just keeps winning.
You want to be the second one.
The spreadsheet guy posts his projections in the group chat. He makes sure everyone knows
how much homework he did.
The quiet winner says almost nothing. He just keeps winning. After a while everyone starts
wondering what he knows.
RIVAUX stays private. Your league sees your draft and your results. They never see the tool
behind them.
Let them wonder.
08This isn't about one season
Anybody can have a good year.
You want it to stop being a surprise.
Maybe it was you. Maybe you just watched somebody else have it. Everything broke right,
nobody got hurt, and the trophy went home with a guy who did nothing different than the year
before.
It proved nothing. That's why you're here instead of waiting for your turn.
Year one they say you got lucky. Year two they say it again, a little quieter. By year four
nobody says it at all, because there's nothing left to say.
That's not a season. That's a reputation. And it gets built one draft at a
time.
09Who this is for
This isn't for most people.
It's priced like it.
It's for you if
Losing eats at you for a week, not an hour
You've drafted against the same people for years and you know which one you want to
beat
You want the bragging rights more than the money
You've wondered how good you'd be with a real edge
It's not for you if
You want a cheat sheet like everyone else has
You're in a different league every year
Winning once in a while is enough
The price is the first thing you're going to ask about
10The price
It's expensive. On purpose.
Cheaper than another year of losing and all the smack that comes with it.
If everyone in your league had it, none of you would have anything. That's why it's one seat
per league, and why I check.
The people who have it don't talk about the cost. They talk about the year they stopped
losing.
I'm not selling it to anyone else in your room. That would defeat the whole point. This is
just for you... and built to help you dynasty. (As a verb, yes... we're making it one.)
Price is on the call. You already know whether that's a problem.
11Questions, answered
Know what you're applying for.
This is private, not vague. Here's what I do, what you get, and why it works this way.
What am I actually getting?
A private draft setup built around your league. Depending on the scope, that can mean league-specific values and a draft plan, or live support beside you while you draft.
Is this only for auction?
No. Auction is where every mistake has a visible price, and where the method was built and tested. The same league-specific preparation works for snake, keeper, dynasty and superflex.
Why do I need this if I already have rankings?
Rankings tell you who's good. They don't tell you what that player is worth in your league, or what your opponents are likely to do. No draft history yet? Your rules, format, and scoring already make the setup more specific than a national sheet.
How do you know it works?
I freeze values before the draft and compare them with the real sale prices afterward. The published example is one real auction, not a guarantee, and I treat it as evidence of the method rather than proof that every league will behave the same way.
Does it draft for me?
Most work is done with you, so you make every bid and pick. Co-Manager Draft can include draft execution only where the platform and league rules allow a legitimate co-manager role. I never ask for your login credentials.
Why is it private, and can someone else in my league get it?
Your advantage stops being one when the whole league has it. I work with one manager per league, review every application myself, and keep your application private.
What happens after I apply?
I check whether your league's seat is open. If it looks like a fit, we have a short call about your rules, timing, and where you want help. Then you get a clear scope and price before deciding anything. Draft soon? Apply anyway. If there is not enough time to do it properly, I will tell you.
What can I hire you for?
There are three ways I can help: Your Board Sheet, Draft Plan, and Co-Manager Draft. Your Board Sheet gives you league-specific values. Draft Plan adds your targets, tier breaks, walk-away points, and a plan for allocating your budget. Co-Manager Draft adds my live help. Private services start at $150. Fill out the short form on the next page, and we can settle the exact scope, price, and anything else you need over email or phone.
One manager per league. Applications reviewed personally.
