Target reveal time

Official series

DraftFate randomly assigns official field layouts from a 60-field pool. Every manager plays the same named progression; practice uses fresh layouts so no one can memorize the official route there.

Classic: 3 attempts, best 2 countBest 2 of 3 official fields count. TD = 150 + (45s - finish time). Stopped run = yards reached. One bad scoring run can be dropped. Score ties use touchdown count, total yards, best touchdown time, then hidden seed plus manager ID.Each stage draws from the same seeded field pool, so Open Field, Pressure Drive, and Goal-Line Stand are categories with many possible layouts, not one static map.
