This is a Real Thing, right?
I'm not the only one seeing this.

it's a draft: there's a ton of built in variance. if you biuld a reasonable team, you have a chance of winning.

If I brush, floss and do sit ups, Taylor Swift may want to hook up.

Well done!

Any tips? I've done over 150 drafts this season and... I got 2nd once.
I'm still in the "uh, let's try this, I guess?" level of skill.

Every PT/PD tournament player sees the life-fulfilling Beginner's Luck algo kick in.

Make a new team, win a tourney or two. To me, probably bread crumbs imposed by OOTP to encourage engagement.

My interest is legally hacking flaws in this performance code. A strategy, like all the other ones.

How many of these 4-3 series were reverse sweeps (0-3 start, win 4-3)?

I have experienced so many reverse sweeps against me in tourneys that I just stopped playing them thinking RNGeezus was manufacturing drama at my expense.
