Know which site is providing the game
Build-A-Player provides and controls the game. Build-A-Bucket Guide provides the independent tracker, analyzer, and editorial notes around it.
Keep the tracker beside the game
- Confirm whether you are running Guard or Big.
- Confirm Classic, All-Time, Salary Cap, or Sandbox.
- Open the tracker in another tab or use split-screen; the two pages do not exchange data.
- Record the final OVR and result before leaving the game.
Build-A-Bucket or Build a Hooper?
Build-A-Bucket is hosted at build-a-player.com/bucket. The Guard and Big boards we checked have 10 slots. Build a Hooper is a separate fan-made game whose guide describes a 13-round draft and an 82-game season. A build from one game cannot be copied into the other by slot number. This tracker is designed for Build-A-Bucket.

When the labels differ
Trust the live game screen over this guide. Use custom slot labels in the tracker and treat the difference as a possible interface update.
