Effective and last updated: July 21, 2026.
Participation constitutes acceptance of these Official Rules. The skill competition and Random Draw are collectively called the “Promotion” below.
1. Eligibility
Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old at entry. Void where prohibited. The Operator and members of the Operator's immediate family or household are not eligible to win. Entrants must provide truthful information and remain eligible through prize award.
2. Operator and important times
The Promotion is independently operated and personally prize-funded by Darian Hudock, doing business as Redraft Blitz, 3305 Calle Cuervo NW Apt 1022, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87114, United States (the “Operator”). There is no outside contest or prize sponsor.
Entries close . Final Boards are revealed at , and scoring begins with the official NFL opener at . The website's server time controls.
3. Entering the skill competition
Build a complete ordered Top 150, make at least one direct player move, protect the Board with a Board Name and six-digit PIN, verify a contact email, complete the required confirmations, and submit before Championship Lock. Entry is free. Limit one final Board per verified email address for the 2026 season. Final submission is immediate, permanent, and cannot be edited or withdrawn through the Board interface.
Every valid final Board also receives one automatic Random Draw entry. A purchase or payment is never required and will not improve an entrant's odds.
4. Free Random Draw Only entry
A person may enter the Random Draw without building or submitting a Board by completing the free Random Draw Only form, confirming eligibility and these Rules, and verifying an email before the entry deadline. No player rankings, purchase, payment, or other activity is required. Limit one Random Draw entry per verified email across all entry methods. Using the same email for both methods does not create an additional chance.
5. Skill-based awards and scoring
The People's Ranking Champion is the eligible entrant whose Board has the highest final full-precision Board Accuracy after NFL Weeks 1–17 and final scoring review. The First Round Crown is awarded using the highest full-precision Top-12 Board Accuracy. Week 18 is excluded. The scoring formula, omissions, precision, and tiebreakers are described on the Scoring page and are incorporated into these Rules.
If every approved objective tiebreaker remains identical, the result is an official tie. Each tied eligible winner receives the full applicable prize package. No prize is divided, and duplicate physical prizes will be provided when required.
6. Random Draw procedure and odds
The drawing will occur . Before the drawing, the Operator will combine verified final-Board entries and verified Random Draw Only entries, deduplicate them by normalized verified email, and exclude every skill-prize winner. This includes every Overall Champion and First Round Crown winner, plus second- and third-place prize winners if the 5,000-Board Prize Boost activates. Odds are one divided by the final number of eligible deduplicated entries.
Eligible entries will be ordered by immutable internal entry ID and assigned sequential numbers. A cryptographically secure random-number generator will uniformly select one number. Rejection sampling will prevent modulo bias. The Operator will retain an audit record containing the drawing timestamp, eligible-entry count, cryptographic hash of the ordered eligible-ID list, selected entry ID, method version, and administrator identity. Private contact information will not appear in the public drawing record. Any alternate drawing will use the same method and then-current eligible list.
7. Prizes
- People's Ranking Champion: one LaDainian Tomlinson full-size signed helmet authenticated by PSA/DNA or JSA, one $200 Fanatics gift card, the physical People's Cup, and permanent champion recognition. Approximate retail value: $450, including an authenticated helmet valued at approximately $200.
- First Round Crown: one $100 Fanatics gift card.
- Random Draw: one $50 Fanatics gift card.
No cash equivalent unless the Operator determines otherwise. Prizes are nontransferable before award and subject to availability. A lawful substitution will have equal or greater approximate retail value. The champion may keep the People's Cup permanently or voluntarily return it so the passing-trophy tradition can continue; return is never required.
5,000-Board Prize Boost: If at least 5,000 valid official Boards are submitted, the Champion's Fanatics gift card increases from $200 to $400, second place receives a $200 Fanatics gift card, and third place receives a $100 Fanatics gift card. All other prize components remain unchanged. Under the boost, the Champion package has an approximate retail value of $650.
8. Winner notification, verification, and taxes
Potential winners will be contacted at their verified email and have 30 calendar days to respond. They may be required to confirm identity, eligibility, mailing address, tax information, and acceptance documents. Failure to respond or complete verification may result in forfeiture. A skill-award alternate will be the next eligible Board under the approved scoring order; a Random Draw alternate will be selected using Section 6. Winners are responsible for applicable federal, state, and local taxes and costs not expressly included. The Operator may collect tax forms and report prizes as required by law.
9. Public Boards, publicity, and winners list
Board Names and final Top 150s may become public at Championship Lock and remain part of the permanent contest record. Results may identify winners by Board Name and state. A winner's legal name, photograph, or likeness will be used for promotional purposes only with consent or as required by law. A winners list containing Board Name and state may be requested at admin@redraftblitz.com within 90 days after all prizes are finally awarded. Email addresses and mailing addresses will not be included.
10. Conduct and disqualification
Automated, fraudulent, incomplete, abusive, tampered, duplicate, or Rules-violating entries may be disqualified after documented review. The Operator may moderate Board Names and investigate eligibility or technical integrity. Disqualification will not be arbitrary and will be applied consistently. Attempting to damage the service or interfere with entry, scoring, verification, or drawing operation is prohibited.
11. Administration, corrections, and force majeure
Weekly results are provisional until the final post-Week-17 review. The Operator may correct verified data, identity, clerical, or calculation errors under a documented and consistently applied procedure, but may not change a submitted Board or the published scoring formula after entries close.
If fraud, security failure, platform outage, natural disaster, labor disruption, government action, or another event beyond reasonable control impairs integrity or operation, the Operator may pause, modify, reschedule, or cancel the affected portion only to the extent reasonably necessary. Notice and the reason will be published when practicable. If the Random Draw cannot occur as scheduled, it will be rescheduled using the same eligible field and procedure. No modification may favor a particular entrant.
12. Privacy and data retention
Personal information is used to operate entry, security, verification, scoring, drawing, winner contact, prize delivery, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. It is handled as described in the Privacy Notice. Service providers may process information only as necessary to provide hosting, database, security, and email-delivery functions. The Operator does not sell entrant personal information.
13. Releases and limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, entrants release the Operator from claims arising from participation or acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of a prize, except for claims that cannot lawfully be waived and claims caused by the Operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Operator is not responsible for late, lost, corrupted, misdirected, inaccessible, or interrupted entries or communications caused by systems outside reasonable control. Nothing in these Rules limits rights that applicable law does not permit to be limited.
The Promotion is not sponsored by, endorsed by, administered by, or associated with Reddit, Inc. To the fullest extent permitted by law, entrants release Reddit, Inc., its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from all claims and liability arising out of or relating to the Promotion, except where such a release is prohibited by law.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Rules and the Promotion are governed by New Mexico law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before filing a claim, the entrant and Operator will attempt in good faith for 30 days to resolve it through written notice sent to the Operator's mailing address or admin@redraftblitz.com. Unless prohibited by law, unresolved disputes must be brought individually, not as a class or representative action, in a state or federal court serving Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Each party retains any nonwaivable rights and remedies.
15. General terms and contact
If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will stay effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience. These Rules, the incorporated Scoring page, and the Privacy Notice are the complete Promotion terms. Questions may be sent to admin@redraftblitz.com or Darian Hudock, Redraft Blitz, 3305 Calle Cuervo NW Apt 1022, Albuquerque, NM 87114, United States.
