How It Works
The 30-second version, then a full walkthrough of one week.
The 30-second version
Every week you get a card with 7 sports questions, one per day. Each question has 2 possible answers. You pick one per day.
Here's the twist: you also get 7 tokens to spend, one per day. The token you spend on a day decides how many points that pick is worth.
Put your Bomb (34 points) on the day you feel best about. Save your Chalks (8 points) for the toss-ups.
Maximum possible score in a perfect week: 118 points. The leaderboard ranks by score. You need 3 correct picks to bank Cup Points. Wrong picks do not end your week. Your other tokens still play.
Your seven tokens
Same allotment every week. You decide which day each token goes on.

Your best day
Right pick → you earn the full value of the token you spent. Bomb on a correct day = 34 points.
Wrong pick→ 0 points. The token is gone. You don't get it back, and you can't move it to another day.
The cost of a wrong Bomb isn't the lost points (a Chalk would have gotten you 0 too). It's the lost opportunity. Your week's upside is now capped lower.
A full week, walked through
Here's how a real week plays out from Monday to Sunday.
Monday: the card drops
You open the app. The Week 4 card has 7 sports questions, one per day. You have until Tuesday morning to pick your answers and assign your tokens. You spend about 90 seconds reading the questions, then plan your token spend:
| Day | Pick | Token spent |
|---|---|---|
| D1 | NBA: Edwards outscores Tatum tonight | Chalk 8 |
| D2 | NBA: Jokic outrebounds Giannis | Bold 21 |
| D3 | NFL: Nico Collins outgains Ja'Marr Chase in receiving yards | Bomb 34 |
| D4 | NFL: Mahomes throws more TDs than Hurts | Avg 13 |
| D5 | MLB: Cole records more strikeouts than Skenes | Avg 13 |
| D6 | Golf: Scheffler shoots a lower round than McIlroy | Bold 21 |
| D7 | NASCAR: Larson finishes higher than Byron | Chalk 8 |
Notice the strategy. You put your Bomb on Nico Collins, the day you feel most confident in your edge. You kept your Chalks on Day 1 (less sure) and Day 7 (could go either way). Your Bolds are on the days you have a strong read but not a lock.
Tuesday through Sunday: results come in
Each day, the real-world result drops. Your dashboard updates automatically.

Final tally
84 / 118 points, 5 of 7 correct.
You cleared the 3-pick minimum, so you bank Cup Points. Your Bomb landing was the difference. That single correct call was worth 34 points, almost a third of the week. If you'd put your Bomb on Day 2 (Jokic) instead of Day 3, the week would look very different: 8 + 0 + 21 + 13 + 0 + 21 + 8 = 71 points. The token placement was the difference between 71 and 84.
Sunday night: Cup Points land
Say 47 players locked in that week. Your 84 points finishes in the Top 10%, so you bank 40 Cup Points toward your season. Post the single top score and you also grab the 🏆 Champion badge, which stays on your profile for good.
That's the whole game.
The 3-pick eligibility floor
You need at least 3 of 7 picks correct to bank Cup Points that week. Below 3, you score zero for the week and no Champion badge.
This is the skill floor. Pick Sevn rewards being good, not just showing up. If you can't get 3 of 7, you're probably guessing.
If nobody hits 3 correct, nobody banks Cup Points that week.Rare, but it happens. That's by design.
The free game and the Cup
The free game (live now)
No entry fee, ever. Every week you play earns Cup Points based on where you finish. They stack up all season.
