Fast Break Run 10 | Day 1
Pick 5 Players who will combine for 80 Points Scored to earn your win.
Overview:
Today marks the beginning of the final WNBA Fast Break run of the 2024 regular season. This run will span ten (10) days, which is one day longer than the previous run and will have the same win thresholds (1, 4, & 7). Each team has between 5-7 games during Run 10 with a couple days where every team is in action and a couple days where only two (2) teams are in action. This means your room for error is wider, but planning ahead could be the difference between the 4-win pack and the 7-win pack.
In addition to the extra day during this run, the rewards have expanded. Daily, the top 100 will earn a quick rip pack with the top 50 earning a better iteration. The overall rewards have also improved as the top three overall will earn a legendary pack (valued at $699). It would be in your best interest to play every day you are able in pursuit of the overall rewards while picking your spots if you have any aspirations for the daily reward.
Regardless of which prize you have your eye on, let’s start the series off with a win.
Today’s Objective:
Fast Break Day 1 requires five (5) players who will score 80 or more Points, which means your lineup will need an average of 16.0 PTS per player. There are eight (8) teams in action today, so your options are broad. If you are working with a collection of common WNBA players, you’ll want to be deliberate about who you include in your starting five as you don’t want to waste players unnecessarily, but you also don’t want to get too cute and miss the day’s objective by a couple points.
Bucket Getters: A’ja Wilson, Arike Ogunbowale, Napheesa Collier, Rhyne Howard, Allisha Gray, Chennedy Carter, Satou Sabally, Tina Charles, Caitlin Clark, Natasha Howard
Upcoming Objectives:
Tomorrow, Rebounds & Assists will be the objectives and there will be two (2) teams in action.

Introducing, TOME+:
The daily Fast Break articles will continue with minimal changes, but an additional paid option will be available if you would like access to sortable tables in the daily articles (vs. static images) based on each day’s objective, Witty’s Cheat Sheet, and access to a dedicated Fast Break league with additional prizes (beginning Run 9). This offering will continue to expand based on community requests (ex: full season stats for all players in a sortable table (coming soon)) in order to add value to your membership to TOME+. Membership duration will be tracked also with potential future perks and benefits, but will be dependent upon a variety of factors. Said differently, we have many plans and ideas we’d like to activate upon as we want your patronage to be worth your while, but we cannot make any promises or guarantees. One promise we can make though, is that revenues and gifted moments will be reinvested back into the growth of the Tome Society platform. If you’re so inclined, you can join here.
