Players Are Getting Ready. What's next?

All twelve players for Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 were identified in September. The player slots filled soon after the call was posted on this site, by email and on social media.

Each of the twelve players was given the opportunity to choose one of the twelve possible fantasy budget slots OR accept a random selection. All but four players chose random selections. The final allocation of fantasy budget slots will be determined at a special private Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 launch party scheduled for October 22nd.

Players will find out who else is playing at the launch party. In addition to finding out who else is playing and drawing for fantasy budget slots, game administrators will share tips for playing. Players will have a chance to ask questions and bounce ideas around with each other.

Each player will be assigned a player number at the launch party. Only game administrators will know for certain which player number is associated with which player until the REVEAL event in February, 2025. (Details of the REVEAL event will be announced soon.)

After the launch party a casual photo and an informal background statement about each player will be posted on this page and on our social media channels so the public can find out who's playing and become acquainted with the players.

​Gameplay will begin on November 1, 2024 and end on January 31, 2025.
