THE GAME LOOP
From sign-up to standings
1
Make an account
Sign up with your email. Your picks and points follow you all season.
2
Join a league
Start a private league with a code, or jump into a public one.
3

SCORING
Every stat moves the needle
Your league sets its own point value for every batting stat. These are the defaults, so check your league settings for the exact numbers.
Points tally up live on the board.

POWER-UP
Double Points (Lightning)
Charge a pick with Lightning and your whole day's score doubles. Check your league settings to see if it's turned on and how many you get for the season.
Spend them well. Save Lightning for a power bat in a great matchup or a day you have to beat your rival.
It cuts both ways. An 0-fer with strikeouts on a Lightning day hurts twice as much.
LEAGUE MODES
Play it your way
🔒
Private
Start your own league and invite friends with a join code. Members see each other's picks and standings, and the commissioner gets full control over scoring and settings.
🌐
Public
Browse open leagues for your team and jump right in, no code needed. You'll pick against a bigger pool of fans on one shared leaderboard.
📅
Split Season
Break the year into two halves (H1 & H2) with separate standings, so an early runaway leader never kills the race. Overall, H1, and H2 are all tracked at once.

PRO TIPS
Pick smarter
- Check the trends for hot streaks before you lock in.
- Go after batters facing weak pitching or a high-ERA arm.
- Stay away from strikeout-prone hitters on Lightning days.
- Watch the lineup order. Leadoff and cleanup get more at-bats.
- Turn on push notifications so you never miss a deadline.
