2026 CLAIM BOARD
12 of 12 locked
OwnerTickerOfficial Open
BED TIME
$ZSLProShares UltraShort Silver
$21.35Open
A 2x inverse silver fund, so this is a bet that silver falls, doubled. Leveraged inverse products also rebalance daily, which quietly bleeds value in choppy markets even when the underlying goes nowhere.
HOPE IS COMING
$CPAYCorpay
$416.56Open
Corpay is a corporate payments processor, which is about as low-drama as this board gets. Randomly drawn, and randomness handed him something that rarely moves more than a percent or two in a week.
WOLFHOUNDS
$SOXLDirexion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X
$115.07Open
Triple-leveraged semiconductors, the single highest-beta instrument on the board. The Commish either picks first overall or twelfth, and there is very little chance he lands anywhere in between.
SCALABRINE
$MCKMcKesson
$861.47Open
Drug distribution is defensive, boring, and does not care much what the broader market is doing. This finishes middle of the pack unless something unusual happens.
FELLOWSHIP
$HYPEHyperliquid
$80.39Open
The only crypto token on the board, and the only claim that keeps trading after Friday's close. Since we stop the clock at the bell, all that extra volatility has to show up Monday through Friday like everyone else's.
HOUSE OF WENKE
$MRVLMarvell Technology
$229.13Open
Marvell is an AI-adjacent semiconductor name with real single-stock risk attached. High beta without the leverage, which is a more honest version of what Wolfhounds is doing.
KRAEMERICA
$SNDKSandisk
$1,493.02Open
Memory and storage is one of the most cyclical corners of tech, and this name has been swinging hard. Fitting pick for the owner who put up the best regular season and the worst playoff luck.
CKWADE
$GLLProShares UltraShort Gold
$19.77Open
A 2x inverse gold fund, which makes him and Bed Time effectively the same bet. Gold and silver tend to move together, so those two either finish near each other at the top or near each other at the bottom.
BRIDGE FOUR
$IRENIREN Limited
$40.83Open
A bitcoin miner pivoting toward AI data centers, so it carries crypto beta and tech beta at once. Wildly volatile, which is a strange choice for the owner whose entire preview was about bad luck.
ZADDY
$AFRMAffirm
$77.42Open
Buy-now-pay-later is high beta and rate sensitive, so it tends to amplify whatever the market does that week. Fits an owner on a two-year hot streak who apparently is not interested in protecting it.
HAHA
$RDDTReddit
$151.79Open
Reddit is an advertising-driven social name that moves on sentiment more than fundamentals. Perfectly on brand for the owner with a 12-2 season and a 1-12 season on the same resume.
BRUISERS
$BMNRBitmine Immersion Technologies
$23.60Open
A small-cap crypto treasury play, and the most volatile name here that is not leveraged. This is the lottery ticket of the board.
Official opening prices, Monday 9:30 AM EST. Performance measured to Friday close. Draft night: Wednesday, September 2 at 8:00 PM EST.
THE DESK VIEW
Five of twelve claims are crypto-linked or leveraged, so this order could scramble completely on a single headline. Two owners are effectively short precious metals with the same trade. And $CPAY and $MCK are the only two picks that will almost certainly finish mid-board, which in a twelve-team draft is not the worst outcome.
All twelve claims are final. Performance from the opening price sets the draft order.
