Important Information

  • There is guaranteed to be 17 prize cards offered to at least 16 unique coaches for the 2026 season.

  • The Fez Rule: Coachers will have a maximum of 1 prize card selection across all competitions. In the event of multiple placings from a single coach, they will be awarded the highest pick they have in the draft. All coaches will then move up 1 place in the draft. The next highest ranked coach from either the Champion, challenger or classic competitions (in the order of 6th champion, 6th challenger, 6th classic, 7th champion.. ect) will then move into the draft to ensure 17 prize card selections are made.

  • Coaches who forfeit a prize card selection due to the 1 card limit will receive an additional 10 Player Elite Pack for every forfeited Prize Card.
