Nope. Pick Sevn is built so guessing has a small penalty, not a huge one. Put your Bomb on the day you feel best about and your Chalks on the toss-ups. A wrong Chalk costs you 8 points. A wrong Bomb costs you 34. The whole point of tokens is to make uncertain days survivable.

Not even close. A wrong pick costs you the token you spent on that day, but your other 6 days keep playing. You can lose your Bomb on Day 1 and still finish in the top 10% with your remaining tokens. There is no elimination.

About 2 minutes on Monday to make your picks and assign your tokens. Then a few seconds a day to check the results. The card drops on Monday and locks before the first game starts.

You need at least 4 of 7 picks correct to qualify for any reward that week. Below that, no free entry, no Champion badge, no cash bonus when paid launches. This is the skill floor. Pick Sevn rewards being good, not just showing up.

Free is the on-ramp to the Grand Prize. No entry fee means no cash to pay out directly — but the free version is how you earn your way into the paid contest without spending a dollar:

• The top 10% of players each week earn a free entry into the paid contest — where the Grand Prize lives. Play well enough in free, and you're competing for real money at zero cost.
• The top scorer each week earns a permanent 🏆 Champion badge on their profile and leaderboard. They stack up over time. A player with 12 badges has been putting in work.

You still earn the free paid entry as part of the top 10%. The Champion badge is the extra recognition for whoever posts the single highest score. If multiple players tie at the top, they all get the badge.

Nobody wins anything that week. No free entries, no badge. In the paid version, the company increases next week's guaranteed prize. Rare, but possible in a tough week. That's by design.

No. Every token must be assigned to a day before lock time. Unspent tokens are forfeited. The smart move in a low-confidence week is to put your Bomb on the day you feel least bad about. Even a guess is better than forfeiting 34 points.

No. Each day gets exactly one token. 7 days, 7 tokens, one-to-one. The Lock button won't activate until every day has both a pick and a token.

No. The free version has no entry fee. You cannot lose money. The paid version (coming soon) is a $10 skill-based prediction contest. Prizes are guaranteed and announced in advance by the company. Entry fees are paid to the company for contest participation and do not fund the prize pool. No wager is placed on any sporting event. Players compete on prediction skill, and real-world athlete performance outcomes are used for scoring only. See the full rules.

Soon. Every free entry you earn now carries over the moment paid opens. Nothing you earn during the beta goes to waste. The players stacking free entries right now will have a head start on the Grand Prize from day one.

Nothing. Your account stays. Your badges stay. Jump back in the next Monday. Skipping a week has no penalty. You just can't earn rewards in a week you don't play.
