Rules
The basics
- 7 questions per week, 2 options each
- Pick 1 option per day AND assign 1 token per day
- Lock all 7 picks + tokens before the lock time
- No changes after lock. Picks and token assignments are frozen
- One entry per person per week
Tokens
You get the same 7 tokens every week. You decide which day each one goes on.
| Token | Worth | How many | When to spend it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chalk | 8 | 2 | Days you're guessing |
| Average | 13 | 2 | Solid picks |
| Bold | 21 | 2 | Confident picks |
| Bomb | 34 | 1 | Your best day |
Maximum possible score: 2×8 + 2×13 + 2×21 + 1×34 = 118 points.
Right pick = the full token value. Wrong pick = 0 points and 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 is opportunity, not points.
The 3-pick eligibility floor
You need at least 3 of 7 picks correct to bank Cup Points that week. Below 3 correct, you score zero for the week and miss the Champion badge, no matter where your score lands.
This is the skill floor. It's a real bar, but not an impossible one.
Wrong pick ≠ out for the week
A wrong pick costs you the token you spent on that day, but it does notend your week. Your remaining tokens still play out on the days they're assigned to. Even if you miss your Bomb on Day 1, you still have 6 days of picks ahead of you and a real shot at the leaderboard.
(A perfect week, 7 of 7, banks 500 Cup Points and auto-qualifies you for the Cup. Either way, you keep scoring all week long.)
