# Prize Player Cards

**What Are Prize Player Cards?**\
These player cards enter the GameDay Squad platform through being awarded to coaches based on their leaderboard placements of seasonal competitions. All sports and competitions have differing criteria for which leaderboard positions are to be awarded prize cards, so it is imperative to check out each sports draft selection process!

#### Key Details:

* **Salary Cap Impact**: Prize Cards awarded after 1 October 2026 carry a $700k salary cap hit. Prize Cards awarded before then keep their existing salary cap hit.
* **Multipliers**: These cards come with a **1.4x multiplier.**
* **Transfer Market**: Prize Cards awarded after 1 October 2026 cannot be traded or sold within the game. Prize Cards awarded before then can still be bought, sold and traded on the Transfer Market. The artwork never changes: the winner's team name, ladder position and season won are always visible on the Prize Card. 
* **Limits**: There is a limit of ONE player per season for prize cards. For example, if Nick Daicos is selected by the coach who finished first in the Champion competition, no other user will be able to select Nick Daicos. 
* **Designs**: Card designs will be updated every new year.
* **Positions**: Prize cards are subject to position changes.
