How to use the hints

Each hint restates the rule the prompt already implies: which seasons count, whether a college transfer counts, and what “teammate” means. I am not guessing a player. When the day closes, a representative deep cut can move onto the archive with the same source label.

Yesterday, if you missed it

Closed boards from 27 Oct 2026 onward keep one example 100-point name where the public record includes one. Those rows live on the archive, next to the prompt list, not as a dump of every accepted name.
