Foundations
Conceptual Formats
Learn how head‑to‑head, 50/50‑style, and GPP concepts are used in lessons to discuss trade‑offs. These are scenarios for learning only.
Scoring Basics (Theory)
See a simple, sport‑agnostic scoring template as a teaching tool. Weights, bonuses, and penalties are illustrative for classroom use.
Strategy Concepts
Roster Building Basics
Balance projection vs. variance within hypothetical constraints. Learn how role, correlation ideas, and sample‑size thinking affect choices.
Normalization & Pace
Use per‑minute/per‑over rates and pace adjustments to compare options fairly in educational examples.
Optimization (Education)
Turn a learning exercise into a transparent spreadsheet model: objective, constraints, and simple heuristics. No automation for money play.
Fair Play & Well‑being
Fair Play Checklist
Quick rules of clean play: honesty, transparency, and respect. Avoid collusion, multi‑accounting, or unfair tools.
Community Standards
How to keep discussions constructive and safe. What to report, how, and why it matters.
Healthy Play Habits
Boundaries, breaks, and device setup for comfort and longevity. What to do if screen‑time becomes stressful.
