Frequently Asked Questions
How does the card tournament bracket work?
Cards are seeded into an elimination bracket based on their estimated value (#1 seed = most valuable). Each round, two cards face off using stats derived from real data — Power (value), Experience (years since release), Potential (rookie bonus), and a random Clutch factor. You pick the winner of each matchup, or let the stats decide with auto-battle.
How are cards seeded?
Cards are seeded by estimated value, highest to lowest. The #1 seed faces the lowest seed, #2 faces the second-lowest, and so on — just like March Madness. Higher seeds have a statistical advantage but upsets happen thanks to the Clutch factor and grade multipliers.
What bracket sizes are available?
You can run 8-card (3 rounds) or 16-card (4 rounds) tournaments. You can also filter the card pool by sport — baseball, basketball, football, or hockey — or use the full all-sports pool.
Can I pick the winners myself?
Yes! In Manual mode, you click to pick the winner of each matchup. In Auto-Battle mode, the stats engine determines each winner automatically with animated reveals. You can also use a hybrid approach — manually pick some matchups and auto-battle others.
What is the upset tracker?
The upset tracker counts how many lower-seeded cards beat higher-seeded opponents during the tournament. A perfect bracket (all favorites win) scores 0 upsets. More upsets mean a wilder, more exciting tournament.
