How scoring works
Graded in public
A record settles each call
Every call names the published record that decides it and the date by which it resolves.
A stated likelihood
Likelihoods follow a fixed scale: very likely means 80–95%, likely 55–80%, about even 45–55%, and so on down.
The Brier score
Each resolved call scores the square of the gap between its stated chance and what happened. 0 is perfect; always saying 50% scores 0.25.
Nothing is rewritten
Calls are never deleted or reworded. An update is a new, dated call, so the old one stays on the record.
