Group Breaks – How It Works

These are the standard formats and rules that we use for our group breaks.

Random Team Group Break Rules

  • After all spots are full for the break, names and teams are entered into a list randomizer on http://www.psychicscience.org.
  • The lists will be randomized depending on the roll of a die. Once the lists have been randomized, both lists are copied on to a spreadsheet and matched by number.
  • Your name will be on the left column and your team will be on the right column.
  • All hits, jerseys, patches, autographs, rookies, inserts and #d cards that come out for your team will be shipped to you.
  • If the break being done has teams that have been taken out before the random is done, anything that comes out for those teams will be randomized off to teams that go hitless.

Snake Draft Group Break Rules

  • After number of spots are determined and all spots are full for the break, names are entered into a list randomizer on http://www.psychicscience.org.
  • The list will be randomized depending on the roll of a die. Once the lists have been randomized, the list is copied on to a spreadsheet.
  • Your name will be on the left column in the order in which you will draft your teams. The draft will be done snake draft style (Example: #1 – #15 then #15 – #1).
  • All hits, jerseys, patches, autographs, rookies, inserts and #d cards that come out for your team will be shipped to you.
  • If the break being done has teams that have been taken out before the random is done, anything that comes out for those teams will be randomized off to teams that go hitless

By The Hit Draft Group Break Rules

  • After the number of spots are determined and all spots are full for the break, names are entered into a list randomizer on http://www.psychicscience.org.
  • The list will be randomized depending on the roll of a die. Once the lists have been randomized, the list is copied on to a spreadsheet.
  • Your name will be on the left column in the order in which you will draft your hits. The draft will be done snake draft style (Example: #1 – #15 then #15 – #1).
  • All the hits or cards you draft, jerseys, patches, autographs, rookies, inserts and #d cards will be shipped to you.
  • Any leftover cards that are not drafted will be randomized to everyone who participated in the break.

Non Licensed Product Group Break Rules

Occasionally we break products that are not licensed by a company that do not have teams or cities listed on the cards. The following rules apply if the card has no professional city or team on it:

  1. If the card is of a player who is currently playing on a professional team, the card will go to that team.
  2. If the card is of a retired player, the card will go the team he had the longest tenure with. If the player happened to be on multiple teams for the same amount of time, he will go to the team that he played the most games with. If the player was on multiple teams, played the same amount of years and played the same amount of games, the card will be randomized between those teams.
  3. If the card is of an athlete/coach/etc. that never played for a professional team, the card will be randomized between hitless teams.

Other Group Break Rules

  • During the hosted breaks, there will be plenty of time to trade teams amongst each other or trade for the teams that are out of the break.
  • You can also sell your team before the break begins to another person, as long as you can come to terms with the deal.
  • Both trades and sales must be confirmed to the group break host.
  • When a card gets pulled that has multiple teams on it, it gets randomized at the end of the break between the teams on the card that are in the break.
  • If a person who is in the break has at least 50% or more teams/players on the card with more than 3 athletes, the card will go to that person, otherwise it will be randomized between all the teams on the card that are in the break.
  • The team owners on the card can also opt to sell the card on eBay and split the earnings.
