This is how it works. We put all 10 spots in the randomizer under random.org. We will randomize the spots 5 times and that will determine the order of names and the serial # you will get in the whole break. So for example: If your name is in the 5 spot, you would get all the cards where the first part of the serial ends in 5. If your name is in the 1 spot then you would get all cards where your the first part of the serial # ends in 1.
Here is an example. If name falls in the 3rd spot. You would get all cards serial #d 3/XX, 13/XX, 23/XX, 33/XX, 43/XX, 53/XX, 63/XX, 73/XX, 83/XX, 93/XX and etc. Notice the last number in the first part of the serial # ends in a 3.
Here is another example. If name falls in the 9th spot. You would get all cards serial #d 9/XX, 19/XX, 29/XX, 39/XX, 49/XX, 59/XX, 69/XX, 79/XX, 89/XX, 99/XX and etc. Notice that the last # in the first part of all the serial #s ends in a 9.
If a card doesn't have a serial # on the card, then we would go by the actual card #. So if the card # is 46, then it goes to the 6th spot. If the card #s ends in a alphabet letter, then whatever # that letter is in the alphabet, it would go that spot.IE: Card # FFT-JW. The card ends in a W, the W is the 23rd letter in the alphabet. So it would go to the 3rd spot.
As far as redemption's go. If the redemption is serial #d higher than 1, then we randomize to the serial #. For example. If the card is #d to 99. We put 1 to 99 in the randomizer and randomize it based on the roll of the dice at the beginning of the break. So say 63 comes up, then the 3 spot gets it. If the redemption is not serial #d, then we go by the card # on the redemption.
