How the game works

Predict better. Predict earlier. Earn MVP Coins.

The main game is simple: predict the final NBA regular season standings. Your final rank comes from MVP Coins, not XP.

Main game

Final standings

Rank every team in the East and West for the end of the regular season. This is the board before Play-In and Playoffs begin.

Score formula

MVP Coins = Accuracy x Timing x Conviction

Accuracy rewards the teams you read correctly. Timing rewards early season courage. Conviction rewards staying close to your season vision.

Accuracy

Know the league

Top contenders and playoff teams matter most. Exact low lottery order matters less than finding real teams early.

Timing

Earlier picks are worth more

Preseason and early-season calls can carry a bigger score boost. Late picks are safer but have a lower ceiling.

Conviction

Stay true to the vision

You have 12 Coach Calls per season. Each published edit uses one. Your conviction tier drops as you revise more. Locked in at publish.

Checkpoints

NBA season moments

  • Preseason is the bold early call.
  • Christmas and All-Star are season update windows.
  • Checkpoints are score boosts and community moments, not separate standings games.

Separate campaigns

Play-In and Playoffs come later

  • Seeds 1-6 are direct playoff spots.
  • Seeds 7-10 are the Play-In zone.
  • Play-In results belong to the Playoff Campaign, not regular season scoring.

Progress

MVP Coins decide rank

Leaderboards rank players by MVP Coins. Badges and titles show style. XP is internal progression and does not give competitive power.
