How to play

  1. Build one lineup each week.Choose how confident you are in each weekly topic by assigning points to it.
  2. Allocate exactly 100 points.Your regular lineup must total exactly 100 points, with no more than 25 points assigned to any single topic.
  3. Submit before the weekly deadline.Picks for the following week open automatically every Friday at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time and lock Monday at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time. You may update your lineup any time before it locks.
  4. Earn points for every verified occurrence.The points assigned to a topic are multiplied by the number of times that event occurs during the week. For example, a 20-point pick occurring three times earns 60 points.
  5. Make your Bob's Birthday Wishes prediction.Guess how many times Bob will be wished a happy birthday that week. An exact guess earns 50 bonus points. Each number away from the correct total subtracts two points, down to a minimum of five. Guesses above or below the total follow the same rule. The commissioner awards the bonus when finalizing the week’s scores. This prediction does not use any of your 100 lineup points.
  6. Follow the verified scoring log.The commissioner records qualifying moments and their occurrence counts. Scores update automatically, and the scoring log shows what has been counted.
  7. Climb the leaderboard.The weekly leaderboard ranks that week's scores. The season leaderboard combines each player's points across the full season.

Scoring

  1. Scoring is based on the podcast.Scores are calculated based on the podcast, not the live show. If something happens on the live show but is not included in the podcast, it will not be included in scoring.
  2. Lineup items limit listener influence.The lineup is made up mostly of items that cannot be directly affected by talkback messages.
  3. Today in Freakshow History counts.If a lineup item is included in Today in Freakshow History, it will be included in scoring unless it was specifically requested by a listener.
