PATRIOTS @ SEAHAWKS · WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 · 8:20 PM ET
ThrownZone opens for real football tomorrow night, and the first contests of Season 2026 are Showdowns on the opener: four cards from the two teams, one of them your Captain at 1.5×. Entries close five minutes before kickoff — 8:15 PM ET — and after that nothing moves. Yardage milestone bonuses are switched off in Showdown, which means the Captain pick decides most of them.
Every new account lands with the same footing:
- 5,000 credits, posted the moment the account is created
- 1 free Starter pack — five Core cards dealt as a ready-to-play lineup (QB, RB, WR, TE, DEF)
- 4 free Kickoff Packs — five cards each, four Core plus a hit slot that is Rare or better, guaranteed
- +100 credits every day you claim the daily login
That is 25 cards and 5,000 credits before you spend anything. Core entry fees run from 10 to 80 credits and the Core tier includes a Free Roll with no fee at all, so the opening balance covers a great many entries.
No money. No buying credits. No cashing out. Everything in the game runs on credits, and credits have no cash value in either direction.
What to do tonight: open the Starter, rip the four Kickoffs, watch the last card in each one — that is the hit slot. Then build a Wednesday Showdown before 8:15 PM ET.

- Rarity opens tiers. Scoring is the same for everyone.
- Your serial number is yours forever — and it breaks ties.
