Badge rules
Recorded before kickoff
Badges are facts about past picks, given by published rules. A badge is not a recommendation.
The rule
The number of graded picks we recorded on the outlet's page before kickoff. Steps: 5, 10, 30, 100 and 300. It says nothing about results.
- Holders now
- 0
- Window
- all picks
Picks that count. Only picks we recorded before kickoff.
Holders
No tracked forecaster holds this badge yet.
How common
Held now by 0 of the 73 forecasters in the badge count.
Our chance check (Oct 12, 2026): the same picks, with every game's score drawn again at random around the market line, 40 times. If a badge shows up about as often by chance as in the real record, it is a fact about the past, not a sign of skill.
