ENTRIES CLOSE FIVE MINUTES BEFORE KICKOFF — TO THE SECOND, FOR EVERYONE
The server enforces the lock, not the app. Classic slates close five minutes before their first game; a Showdown five minutes before its own.

🔥 WHAT'S HOT
020 / 30ELITE
ALTERNATIVE FANTASY FOOTBALL GAMES FOR 2026, COMPARED
Bored of the same redraft league? Every major way to play fantasy football this season, what makes each different, and what each costs.
013 / 30ELITE
THE SUPERSTAR CAP IS THE REAL LINEUP PUZZLE
Certain players are Superstars, and a lineup may only hold so many. It exists so a 20,000-seat Core field is not the same five names.
046 / 120RARE
LOW SERIALS ARE WORTH REAL CREDITS — HERE IS WHY
Ties are broken by the lowest serial number in the lineup. Nothing else is consulted.
327 / 600CORE
THE CHEAPEST WAY TO ADD PLAYABLE CARDS IS STILL THE CORE PACK
1,999 cr, five cards, four Core plus a hit slot with a 1-in-2 shot at a Rare.

🟩 TZ UPDATE
EVERY PACK IN THE SHOP, WITH ITS ODDS PRINTED ON IT
Hits roll rarest-first from a cryptographic random source. No pity timer, no hidden weighting — the odds on the pack are the odds.
003 / 10LEGEND
PLUS PACKS CANNOT BE BOUGHT. THEY ARE WON, OR THEY ARE NOTHING.
The top of every credit contest takes a PLUS pack of that contest's tier. There is no price on them at any tier.
002 / 2HALL OF FAME
GOLD: ONE OF ONE, AND ONLY WHILE IT IS UNCLAIMED
Above all five tiers sits Gold — a 1-of-1 version of every player. It cannot be bought. When it's gone, it's gone.
🏆 CONTESTS
008 / 10LEGEND
🟩 TZ UPDATE

Five Core cards, any positions, any weekend club. No entry fee. One winner for every 25 entries. Closes Sun 12:55 PM ET.
007 / 10LEGEND
🟩 TZ UPDATE
NEW SUNDAY: CORE 5 — ALL DEFENSE. FIVE D/ST CARDS, FIVE CLUBS, 30K AT A FULL FIELD

006 / 10LEGEND
🟩 TZ UPDATE
THE WEEKEND BOARD: ONE SLATE, EVERY GAME, 28 CLUBS
Four new Core contests take cards from any Sunday or Monday club. If your collection can field a legal five at all, it can field one here.
004 / 10LEGEND
THE LADDER: MILLIONAIRE MAKER, MEGA MILLIONAIRE, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Satellites pay seats, not credits. Tickets never expire, are never sold, and are refunded if you withdraw before the lock.
015 / 30ELITE
THE FIVE TIERS, AND EXACTLY WHAT EACH ONE ASKS YOU TO HOLD
Rarity gates the table — it does not tilt it. Same points, smaller field, bigger pool.
047 / 120RARE
WHAT 20 ENTRIES AT 50 CR ACTUALLY PAYS
Entries in: 1,000 cr. The 15% rake comes off, leaving 850. Half the field is paid, and every paid place gets its entry back first.
📈 MARKET
016 / 30ELITE
THE BOOK IS OPEN FROM DAY ONE — ANY CARD, ANY PRICE, FROM 2 CR
Listings only, no bidding. The price is public, the buyer pays it, the card moves.
048 / 120RARE
THREE THINGS SET WHAT A CARD IS WORTH
Production, rarity, and the serial. The Research center plots the first against price; the Value board ranks the market by expected value.
328 / 600CORE
WHERE CREDITS COME FROM, AND WHERE THEY GO
Three doors in, two doors out. That is why the ledger balances.

HOW FANTASY FOOTBALL CARD GAMES WORK
You own numbered player cards, build a lineup from them each week, and score on real NFL stats. Here's the whole idea, start to finish.
018 / 30ELITE
🟩 TZ UPDATE
PATCH NOTES, WEEK 1: WHAT CHANGED IN THE GAME THIS WEEK
Listings-only marketplace, positions on every card, fewer defenses in packs, the five-minute lock, the Weekend board — and the board that survives a restart.

🟩 TZ UPDATE
EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS HAPPENS ON THE SERVER
Pack rolls, serial draws, entries, scoring, settlement and every credit movement. Nothing you can do on your device changes a roll, a score or a balance.
017 / 30ELITE
🟩 TZ UPDATE
OPENING A PACK: THE CARDS ARE YOURS BEFORE YOU SEE THEM
The server picks each card and claims a random serial before the first card flips. Closing the tab mid-animation loses nothing.
