RULES + DESIGN NOTES

All-Time Versus

Draw a franchise. Choose the slot. Build the all-time team.

All-Time Versus is Hadtoo's sports debate prototype. Each of five rounds gives each player one random franchise; the player decides which still-open lineup position to fill, builds an all-time team, compares it head-to-head, and advances through a tournament by honor vote, coin flip, or a future transparent rating model.

HOW THE GAME WORKS

01

Draw a franchise

Each matchup has five rounds. Every round gives each entrant one random franchise. A player receives five unique franchises across the matchup, but the franchise is not tied to a position.

02

Choose an open slot

After seeing the franchise, choose any still-open position. NFL requires QB, RB, WR, TE, and DEF; NBA requires PG, SG, SF, PF, and C. Once a slot is used, it stays closed for later rounds.

03

Enter the all-time pick

Type an all-time player from that franchise for the chosen position. If an NFL player spends the draw on DEF, they enter a defense season year instead of an individual player.

04

Compare and advance

After round five, both completed lineups are shown together. Honor Vote lets both players choose the better lineup with a coin tiebreak on a split decision; Coin Flip is the fast party resolution. Winners move through quarterfinals, semifinals, and the championship.

WHAT HADTOO CREATED FOR THIS TITLE

Specific systems, not a claim over the whole genre.

  • Hadtoo's franchise-first, position-second five-round draft where every franchise draw can be allocated to any still-open roster slot.
  • Hadtoo's eight-seed tournament flow around repeated five-round lineup drafts.
  • The paired Honor Vote and Coin Flip resolution modes, including the split-vote tiebreak flow.
  • The planned transparent 0–20 Player Log system that turns five player or defense grades into an explainable 0–100 lineup score.
  • The responsive bracket-and-lineup interface and first-party implementation used by the Hadtoo version.

ORIGINALITY BOUNDARY

What we mean when we call it original.

All-time sports debates, fantasy lineup building, random-team prompts, and social-media franchise challenges are established formats. Hadtoo does not claim the underlying idea of choosing famous players from randomly assigned teams. The Hadtoo-specific work is the franchise-round allocation mechanic, tournament structure, exact position/defense rules, resolution modes, future transparent rating system, interface, and software implementation assembled around that familiar sports-debate format.
