This is how it works. We put all 10 spots in the randomizer under random.org. We will randomize the spots 5 times and then we randomize the numbers 5 times. 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. The only exception is if all inserts end in the same letter, then it would go by the number.
As far as redemption's go. If the redemption is serial #d higher than 1, then we randomize to the numbers in the break 0 to1. Whatever number lands on top will be the winner of the redemption. If the redemption is not serial #d, then we go by the card # on the redemption.
