How to play

1. Spin a team and a decade.
2. Draft one player into each of your five positions.
3. See your season's record. Can you go 82–0?

How a season is scored

Every player is measured against the league of his own seasons: scoring (adjusted for shooting efficiency and pace), rebounding, playmaking and defense. Stacking one skill gives less and less, a team only has one ball to share, and a lineup without a true point guard, a rim protector or enough three-point shooting loses ground. The total becomes a record out of 82 games. The same lineup always gets the same record.

How the daily works

Everyone gets the same five spins each day. You can respin the team once and the decade once. If no one on a roster fits your open positions, the round swaps in another roster automatically. A new draft unlocks at midnight Eastern, and a draft you started before midnight can be finished until 3 a.m.
