A participant may enter as part of a proposed franchise or as an Independent Player seeking a roster opportunity. Creating an account does not list you publicly.
Join a group
Enter with a crew. Wait for a captain invite, or link a reserved gamertag.
Independent Player
Opt into the public Player Pool. Captains may invite you. This is the recruiting listing — not automatic free agency.
Player Pool
An Independent Player must complete a public recruiting profile and affirmatively join the Season One Player Pool. TGBA may then display the chosen public name, gamertag, platform, positions, general availability, time zone, and recruiting status. Private account information is not displayed.
During recruiting, approved franchises may send roster invitations. Each player must personally accept. At the Player Pool deadline, unassigned players who confirm become Draft Eligible. After opening rosters are certified, eligible unassigned players may remain as Free Agents.
No player may occupy an active or reserve position for more than one Season One franchise. TGBA does not guarantee selection, an invitation, a roster spot, or playing time.
