How scoring works

It's not just stats. Your record comes from how good your nine picks are in your scheme, scheme fit and real-teammate chemistry move the needle as much as raw numbers. Then your team plays a real 2026 schedule, and your slate pays: wins against a brutal schedule count for more than wins against a soft one. Your Knower Score (0–100) adds it all up: your season (slate-adjusted wins), your roster strength, and your scheme fit. Win 15+ with a 70+ score and you're certified. Your rank compares your score against every ball knower who's ever played.
