Earlsiesta
The Earlsiesta is a mid-season break in play following the Day 27 games where a Tarot reading occurs. Earlsiestas began in Season 12.
Following the end of play on Day 27, Fans are greeted with a screen reading "Please wait...", after which three arcana are drawn. The players from teams corresponding to the first and third drawn arcana will receive modifications, seemingly related to the second drawn arcana.

In an unusual Earlsiesta reading, Lōotcrates arrived to speak about the Reader and the Historian, implying that Lōotcrates themselves are delivering the readings to Fans. The reading in recent seasons has used the terms immateria and materia in different ways, but this season, each term was doubled, bookending the reading.
The Season 16 Champions, the Dallas Steaks, were once again not in the center position in the reading. The first was, for the second time in a row, XVI Tower, belonging to the Breckenridge Jazz Hands. Lineup player Baby Doyle was given the item Uncertain Necklace of Entanglement, which placed the modifications entangled and Uncertain on them. The middle position was V The Heirophant, belonging to the Canada Moist Talkers. Nothing was granted to them. The final position, for the third season in a row, was IIII The Emperor, belonging to the Dallas Steaks. Their pitcher Orville Manco received the item Force Field of Observation, which granted them the modifications Force and Observed.
