How the DNA Draft works

Choose a position, draft ten site-created DNA contributions from three historical candidates per round, make three fictional season calls, then publish a report only after acknowledging its public-link behavior.

1. Start as a guest

Scout Mode is available without login. Pressure Mode remains locked until the server authoritatively unlocks it.

2. Complete ten ordered rounds

Each board contains three text-only candidates and clearly separates historical/source inputs from Build A Hooper assessments. A fixture-only environment continues to identify fictional records as synthetic. You may refresh the full board at most twice.

3. Make exactly three Big Calls

  1. Opening Month
  2. Midseason Slump
  3. Playoff Pressure

Calls change fictional output only. Reduced-motion presentation never skips a call.

4. Read and challenge

The result requires three strengths, two weaknesses, one next-run change, and three call recaps. A Same Board link preserves the frozen board/version contract, not identical choices or results.
