TOP OF THE BOTTOM

THE BASEMENT.

Final-game points determine rank

Live projections are informational. Tied point totals share a rank. No tie-breaking winner is invented.

THE LOWLIGHT REEL

BEAUTIFUL DISASTERS.

WITH MINIMAL POWER COMES MINIMAL RESPONSIBILITY

THE COMMISSIONER.

Move the practice clock forward to test locked picks and automatic recalculation. These controls change fictional results only.

Finalizing a fictional round opens its next confirmed matchups automatically. Each update replaces game facts. Standings are recalculated from those facts, so repeating an update never adds points twice.

TRIAL RULES / VERSION 2

BAD IS GOOD.
SIMPLE IS BETTER.

Pick losers. In game sports, submit one loser for every game in a round. Byes do not count as games.
Pro Basketball picks are SERIES losers. Pick every currently open series. Each selection locks at that series’ own Game 1 tipoff; accepted locked selections remain intact.
Game rounds lock at the published server deadline. Newly confirmed basketball series may open while earlier series are still running. Browser clocks and client timestamps do not authorize late picks.
A selected team's final game or series loss earns the published round points, default one. A win earns zero. Four series wins are required to settle a Pro Basketball series.
Brackets, picks, results and standings stay separate for each sport. Everyone keeps playing; equal totals share rank. Opponents’ picks stay sealed until the round deadline or respective series Game 1.
Actual winners advance. Corrections recompute points and hold affected downstream selections for commissioner review; accepted picks are not rewritten.
No entry fees, cash awards or physical prizes are offered. Fictional data belongs only in visibly labelled dedicated test leagues. Real fields and live-feed qualification require reviewed data.

The AWS service enforces deadlines. The separate local rehearsal uses fictional data and an adjustable sample clock. Live score polling remains disabled.
