Grading rules

How every pick is settled

The house rules every published pick is graded by. Changing a rule after launch is logged and announced; a past pick is never silently re-graded.

Situation	Moneyline	Spread	Total
Normal finish	Final score incl. OT	Final score incl. OT	Final score incl. OT
Integer line lands exactly	n/a	Void (push)	Void (push)
Postponed / abandoned, not completed within 24 h of the scheduled tip	Void	Void	Void
Completed within 24 h of the scheduled tip	Graded	Graded	Graded
Forfeit / awarded result (official league decision)	Graded on the official result	Void	Void
Game resumed later from the point of suspension (more than 24 h)	Void	Void	Void
Venue change / neutral site	Graded (home / away as listed at publish)	Graded	Graded

Lines and prices

A pick freezes its line and its price

Each pick is stored with the line and the price at publish (and the bookmaker or the price definition used). Line moves afterwards do not change it: it is graded against its own line. Spreads are stated for the team picked: home -6.5 means the home team must win by 7 or more; away +6.5 wins if the away team loses by 6 or fewer, or wins.

Overtime

Overtime counts

Spreads, totals and moneylines are graded on the final score including overtime. Regulation-only markets (3-way, quarters, halves) settle on their own period's score, as defined per market.

Voids and corrections

Shown, never deleted

A void returns the stake in the flat 1-unit record and stays visible with its reason (push, postponed, abandoned, forfeit). If a grading error is ever found and fixed, the correction is logged and shown beside the pick.
