Nominations & award verification
Freshman nominations are open again. Previously late coaches may submit for commissioner verification. No new closing deadline has been announced.
Complete your Team Profile and identify your official freshman nominee. All nominees and awards require commissioner verification.
Commissioners randomly select football skills from a pool relevant to the playerās position. Reroll capped or position-irrelevant attributes.
Maximum reward is +2 total per week; the winning coach never stacks an additional +1 prediction reward.
A correct prediction means picking the actual game winner. The pollās most popular choice does not determine rewards.
Rewards add attribute pointsānot a guaranteed overall increase or a boost to a target overall rating.
Commissioners verify nominees, votes, final scores, random selections, seasonal physical-point totals, and all awarded upgrades.
