DraftKings Marketplace Reignmakers Football NFT News and Notes for 18-24 August
For a complete overview of the roadmap, please visit the Reignmakers Football Landing Page.
It’s been an eventful week in the land of Reignmakers with no shortage of electrifying moments. The Week 1 contests that went LIVE in the lobby were definitely the highlights, but GaryVee pulling a legendary Justin Herbert on the live stream was the most exciting.
Speaking of GaryVee, did you know there is a VeeFriends League available? This league is free to join and runs for the first four weeks of the season. The best part? You can win VeeFriends, Reignmakers packs and GaryVee experiences by entering NFTs for player cards that you received in your starter pack.
Btw, have you picked up your FREE starter pack but not opened it yet? If not, you should definitely go into your portfolio and break up the package. When your player card’s NFTs show up, you can enter contests for FREE in the DraftKings NFT game lobby. There’s no shortage of contests available, with prizes doubling to $2 million for Week 1.
Not only did Week 1 contests go live last week, but some special notes were added to the announcement. It’s been known for a while that the Week 1 theme was Field Pass holder contests, but for Week 2, the theme will be for all users who own Genesis cards. This is important with the Elevate drop in the marketplace.
The main classic slate runs Thursday through Monday, but there are also Showdown contests available in the lobby for the Bills-Rams game that kicks off the season on Thursday, Sept. 8. If your collection mainly features the Bucs, Cowboys, Broncos or Seahawks, you’re in luck because there are also Showdown contests already live for the SNF and MNF games.
FEATURED PLAYERS (ALL SETS): Six athletes will be featured each week for the first six weeks of the season, and you can win their player cards to help throughout the season. Often you can use the cards you win in Draft Groups later that week!
For week 1:
● TNF: Tom Brady
● Sunday Classic: Javonte Williams, Keenan Allen and Kyler Murray
● SNF: Russell Wilson
● MNF: Austin Ekeler
Finally, a NEW Deep Roster format was announced for Week 4. Based on feedback to increase the use of fantasy contests for more player card positions, such as Defensive Players, Kickers and Tight Ends, we will launch a weekly Deep Roster format from at Week 4 which requires these positions to have a valid list.
● We will aim for $200,000 weekly in cash and prizes in this draft group.
● During the regular season, this will be awarded on top of the existing $1 million per week prize pool. In other words – $200,000 per week of extra prizes will be paid out this year every week of the regular season, starting in Week 4.
● This new format will be in its own All-Games draft bracket, usually locked on Thursday night and running until Monday Night Football ends most weeks.
The roster and rarity requirements are as follows:
● Short list for 9 players: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, DEF, K, FLEX (non-QB)
On Thursday, August 18, DraftKings became a co-founder Matt Kalishcollectibles expert Chris Costa and Vayner Media’s Gary Vaynerchuk everyone hung out on a live stream to open some packs and take questions from Discord.
GaryVee had a pile of unopened packages ready to go to the stream and was completely cold during the package breaks before the magical moment. Check out the clip below to see how things unfolded.
The best part was that he bought that package off the secondary market and ran into the legendary Justin Herbert. If you haven’t had a chance to play with the Marketplace, you can buy or sell packs, participate in auctions, or just acquire individual player card NFTs.
Stay tuned for more watch parties as we prepare for the season!
Our friends at Lucky Trader researched market trends, provided some detailed observations, and listed the top five risers and fallers in the CORE rarity class. With the first game of the season between the Bills and Rams as a Showdown overview in the Week 1 competition lobby, collectors are prioritizing building the best possible lineup for the game.
With each day feeling like a week condensed into 24 hours, there’s no shortage of news in Web3. The team at Lucky Trader composed this article to help you stay informed about the latest announcements in the area and informed about the best projects to watch. There is also a list of the best coins and revelations happening today with detailed analysis of each project.
The ELEVATE Set is the second major prize set drop in 2022 Reignmakers Football. This drop is important because it features the beginner debut features top quality packages.
Quality starts at the CORE level, but doesn’t end there. There are 1 RARE and 2 CORE QB1 or Skill Starter player cards guaranteed in these packs. It really helps increase your pool when you enter the week 1 contests. It will also allow you to stay competitive for the rest of the season due to the strength of these NFTs.
CORE, RARE, ELITE and LEGENDARY all come with player cards that allow you to level up, so there are some strategies to use with this pack. For example, with the RARE card a lock in these packs, you can either flip it on the secondary market to help fund your CORE collection or flip the good CORE players to help you up the RARE tier. With Franchise Score also an important factor to keep in mind for the preseason, it makes sense to hold on to as many cards as possible if you’re building a collection.
At various times during the season, there will be snapshots of the franchise score to determine who is eligible to receive bonus rewards, including access to private contests, swag, experiences and cash. The top 10 franchise results as of November 30, 2022 will even be awarded qualifying entries to the $1,000,000 Reignmaker Football World Championship in New Orleans, to compete for a share of $1,000,000 in cash – including $250,000 for first place! This is how it works:
Overview
● You will earn a base amount of Franchise Points for each player card NFT you have in your Reignmakers Football collection, which is based on that card’s rarity level.
● Cards from certain sets will receive a multiplier to their base franchise score.
● Rookie cards will receive a 2x multiplier.
● If you have a 2022 Field Pass, your total Franchise Score will receive an increase of up to 5%, which is based on the highest rarity pass you own.
● Snapshots will capture your franchise points and rank on the leaderboard at various points throughout the season to provide prizes and rewards.
The first snapshot is 9/1 for the Preseason Top 10,000 Leaderboard and the prize pool will have $250,000 in prize money + 100’s of prize packs for the winners.
The Elevate pack has a total of five cards for the CORE, RARE, ELITE and LEGENDARY tiers and comes with eight in the REIGNMAKERS tier. You can start picking up any of the packs on the Marketplace now.
An update set was also announced since a few players were not on active rosters when the Genesis set was minted. Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins and Jarvis Landry will also be added to the Skill Starter category post-Elevate drop. The update set allows us to get the correct supply of athlete cards into the game without going back and changing the previous sets’ designs after they are defined for you.
Finally, the link to the article in the header of this Elevate section allows you to see the full checklist of players that will be available in the drop.
