Total Points Ranking
The classic competition
How it works
Your position in the Total Points Ranking is determined by the sum of your points across all races. To keep things fair and prevent burnout, we use a Best-of-15 system.
Best-of-15 System
Only your best 15 races count
If you predict 20 races, we'll only count your top 15 performances
Forgiveness for missed races
Missed a race deadline? No problem - it won't hurt your ranking
Quality over quantity
Rewards consistent, high-quality predictions

Prediction Score
Quality over everything
What is Prediction Score?
The Prediction Score measures your prediction quality, not just total points. It rewards users who are consistently accurate, while accounting for experience level through a confidence factor that grows naturally with more races using a sigmoid curve.
The Formula
Prediction Score = Average Points × Confidence Factor
Average Points
72.0
Confidence Factor
79%
(12 races)
Confidence Factor Explained
The Confidence Factor uses a sigmoid curve that grows naturally with experience. Maximum confidence is reached at 20 races.
70 × 8%

Low confidence - could be luck
72 × 57%

Pattern emerging
72 × 79%
56.9

72 × 100%
72.0
Maximum confidence!
Why This System Works
- Rewards Quality: A user with 12 races at 72 avg beats someone with 6 races at 75 avg
- Prevents Gaming: Can't get high score with just 1-2 lucky predictions
- Encourages Participation: Clear goal of 20 races for maximum confidence
Community Rankings
League vs League
How it works
Community Rankings compare leagues against each other based on average member performance. It's a measure of your league's collective prediction skills.
Qualification Requirements
Minimum 3 participants per race
Only races where at least 3 league members made predictions count
Best 15 races count
Like individual rankings, only the league's top 15 races are counted
