Can I edit a pick after locking it?

No. Once locked, picks are immutable. That's what makes the leaderboard credible.

What happens if a game is postponed?

Postponed games are voided. The pick is removed from your record entirely — no win, no loss.

How often does the leaderboard update?

Within 60 seconds of a game's final score being confirmed.

How FanRivo Grades Your Picks

FanRivo grades every pick automatically the moment a game ends. Here's exactly how accuracy, streaks, and the leaderboard work — and how to climb.

How a pick is graded

Lock a pick before tip-off. When the game ends and the final score is confirmed by our data feed (ESPN for NBA, official FIFA feed for the World Cup), your pick is auto-graded as a win or a loss. There's no manual review and no contested results.

Accuracy = wins / total picks

Your accuracy is the simple percentage of your locked picks that won. Pushes (ties against the spread) don't count either way. A user with 60 wins on 100 picks is at 60% accuracy. Anything above 55% over a full season is excellent.

Streaks = consecutive wins

Your current streak is how many picks you've won in a row. Your best streak is your all-time record. Lose one pick and the current streak resets to zero — but your best streak stays. Streaks are weighted heavily on the leaderboard because they're hard to fake with volume.

Leaderboard ranking

The leaderboard ranks users by a composite score: accuracy × pick volume × current-streak bonus. That means you can't snipe the top spot by locking one pick and winning. You need volume (at least 20 picks per season) AND accuracy AND a recent hot streak. Pick consistently and pick smart — the algorithm rewards both.
