Jerome Randle, Isaiah Thomas and Paul Pierce join the league

Jerome Randle, Isaiah Thomas and Paul Pierce are contracted to the Clutch21 Season 2027 card. They are the first three signatures on a field that runs to sixteen players a night across six city stops and a Finals.

None of it buys a head start. The season table opens at zero for every player in it, and points are awarded by where you finish and nothing else — not reputation, not seeding, not what anybody did in another league. Half of every bracket is won on the day before, in an open qualifier at the same venue.

The rest of the field is announced but not yet contracted, and the cards on the players page say which is which: a signing carries a confirmed tag and nobody else does.
