A new contest sits on the board this Sunday, and it is the first that asks for a lineup nobody has built before.
| Setting | Core 5: All Defense |
|---|---|
| Tier | Core — every card Core or better |
| Lineup | 5 cards, every one a D/ST |
| Clubs | Five different clubs — two defenses from one club cannot share a lineup |
| Slate | Weekend: every Sunday and Monday game, 28 clubs |
| Entry | 40 cr, one per manager, up to 900 |
| Prize pool | 30,000 cr at a full field (40 × 900, less the rake) — a ceiling, not a promise |
| Pays | Top 20% of the field, on a balanced table: 1st 20% · 2nd 12% · 3rd 8% · 4th–5th 5% each · 6th–10th 4% each · 11th–20th 3% each |
| Scoring | The standard D/ST table — sacks, interceptions, fumble recoveries, defensive and return touchdowns, points allowed |
| Closes | Sunday 12:55 PM ET |
| Settles | Two hours after Monday night goes final; ties by lowest serial |
What a hundred entries pays. Pool 3,400 cr after the rake, twenty places paid, every paid place gets its 40 cr back first: 1st 560 · 2nd 352 · 3rd 248 · 4th–5th 170 · 6th–10th 144 · 11th–20th 118. The same shape at a full field of 900 pays 180 places, 2,820 cr to first and never less than 95 cr to the last place in.
Defenses are 12% of pack cards, so most collections hold two or three; five from five different clubs is a collection built on purpose, or on The Book. The contest page lists all 28 eligible clubs with their marks, and the lineup builder shows every defense you own that cannot play here and why.
