Gauntlets

Gauntlet modes add setup before the draft. The setup determines which schedule or legendary pool your completed roster must survive. Use perfect-20.com/gauntlet to start a gauntlet and keep this page open for the setup decisions.

Pick a Franchise

Franchise Gauntlet begins with a franchise grid. The franchise you choose sets the historical team pool and schedule options for the run.

Fig. 27 Choose one franchise before selecting the schedule rule.

Choose a Schedule

After selecting a franchise, choose the schedule rule. This choice controls how the opponent slate is selected before the draft begins.

Fig. 28 The Arizona Cardinals setup shows Random Year and Worst Record.

Random Year chooses one eligible season from the selected franchise and uses that season’s real schedule.

Worst Record chooses the franchise season with the lowest winning percentage and uses that schedule.

The schedule choice does not mean every draft roll comes from that same year. Draft rolls still come from across the selected franchise history.

All-Time Gauntlet

All-Time Gauntlet is different from Franchise Gauntlet. It uses a curated pool of legendary team seasons. Your draft rolls and your opponent schedule both come from that kind of historical elite-team pool.

Fig. 29 All-Time Gauntlet is about surviving a schedule of legends.

Dynasty

Dynasty asks whether one core can keep winning across multiple years. Treat the setup as a long-term roster challenge instead of a single-season sprint.

Fig. 30 Dynasty is a multi-year title chase.

Gauntlet Habits

• In Franchise Gauntlet, remember which franchise you chose before drafting.

• In Worst Record, expect the schedule to be fixed for the entire run.

• In All-Time Gauntlet, treat every roll and every opponent as dangerous.

• In Dynasty, avoid building a roster that only makes sense for one season.
