Draft your 8When the caster opens the draft, the matchโ€™s real roster is revealed by name and a countdown starts. Pick 8 starters + 2 reserves under a 100-coin salary cap. Live scores stay hidden during the draft window โ€” itโ€™s a pure prediction.

๐Ÿ“Œ Fine print the details that prevent arguments

๐Ÿ’ฐ Salaries (Coin cost). Each player's cost is set by their projected points relative to everyone else in that contest's pool โ€” the strongest projected player costs the most, the weakest the least, on a curve that keeps most players affordable. Projections come from banked career averages (regressed toward the league average so one huge game doesn't price someone like a permanent star). Costs are recalculated each time a contest's pool is built, so they shift as careers grow.

๐Ÿ” Reserve auto-sub. If you enable it, your reserves automatically fill in for any starter who isn't in the match data (left the server / didn't play) when the contest is scored. A brief reconnect doesn't penalize you โ€” the sub only applies if the starter is genuinely absent at scoring time.

๐Ÿšซ Team-kills. A team-kill is a flat โˆ’2. It does not reduce your enemy-kill count โ€” your kills are enemy kills only, and the โˆ’2 is the whole penalty. Live, projected, and final scores all use this same rule.

๐Ÿงฌ Archetypes. These are assigned from a player's banked career history (their full record), and only for players with at least 2 games so one match can't mislabel them. A player can hold more than one. They're for flavour and search โ€” they don't affect scoring.

๐Ÿ“‹ Settlement. Live scores are unofficial and may be delayed to avoid stream spoilers; the final settles once the match is validated and banked. Scoring rules are versioned โ€” the current version and any corrections show on the picker's status strip.
