Buzzr’s rating system is a single 1–10 slider — the same slider powers pre-game predictions and post-game ratings.
Predict Mode vs Rate Mode
| When | Mode | Prompt |
|---|
| Before tipoff | Predict | ”How good will this game be?” |
| After final | Rate | ”How good was this game?” |
Submitting a Rating
Every rating can include:
- Score — A 1–10 number from the haptic slider
- Take — Optional commentary (up to 140 characters)
- Media — Optional image or GIF
- Tags — Up to 4 descriptors (see below)
The slider uses color-coded thumbs and orbiting emoji feedback so the score feels like a reaction, not a form field.
| Tag | Emoji |
|---|
| Close Game | 😮 |
| Comeback | 🔄 |
| Blowout | 💥 |
| Clutch | ⏱️ |
| Hot Take | 🌶️ |
| Upset Alert | 🚨 |
| Defense Masterclass | 🛡️ |
| Shooting Clinic | 🎯 |
| Overtime Chaos | ⌛ |
| Rivalry Energy | 😤 |

The Buzz Score
Every game on Buzzr gets a Buzz Score — a 1–10 forecast for how must-watch the matchup is. Tap the bee icon on any game detail to see the exact breakdown.
Buzz = 0.45 × Star Power + 0.25 × Rivalry + 0.30 × Stakes + Clutch
(then clamped to 1.0 – 9.9, with league-specific floors applied)
| Factor | Weight | What it measures |
|---|
| Star Power | 45% | Quality of the two teams — derived from season stats (scoring margin, form, ranks). Weighted toward the stronger team. |
| Rivalry | 25% | Historic rivalry, divisional matchup, or top-of-table clash. |
| Stakes | 30% | Pre-game: blend of star power and rivalry. Live: how close the scoreboard is. |
| Clutch | ± | A late-game adjustment during tight live contests. |
Per-league variations
Every league uses the same formula but derives the inputs from league-appropriate data so a “Buzz 8” in the NBA means the same thing as a “Buzz 8” in the Premier League.
- NBA / WNBA — Hand-tuned power index per team + curated rivalry list. NBA playoff games (Apr–Jun) get a 7.0 score floor and a playoff-intensity clutch bonus.
- NCAAM — Power derived live from season stats (pace, 3-point %, KenPom-style efficiency). Tournament games (both teams seeded) get a 7.2 floor; seed gaps feed a Cinderella bonus.
- NFL — Star Power from points differential, turnover margin, 3rd-down efficiency, and last-3 form. Divisional matchups get a rivalry bump. Jan–Feb games get a playoff floor.
- MLB — Star Power from run differential, ERA, OPS, and last-5 form. Stakes scale in runs: a 1-run game is clutch, a 7-run margin is a blowout. October games get a postseason floor.
- NHL — Star Power from goal differential, power-play %, penalty-kill %, and last-10 form. Stakes scale in goals: 1-goal game is tight, 3+ goals is likely done. Apr–Jun games get a playoff floor.
- EPL / LaLiga / Bundesliga / Serie A / Ligue 1 / Liga MX / NWSL / MLS — Star Power from goal difference, recent form, and league position. Top-4 clashes get a rivalry bump. Stakes scale in goals: a level match is maximum drama.
- Champions League — Uses whichever domestic league a club plays in for Star Power. All UCL matches get a 6.8 floor; knockout-round matches (Feb–May) get a 7.5 floor.
Your personal Buzz
Buzz is also personalized. After the base score is calculated, two signed adjustments can shift it:
- Your interest (± up to 0.8) — If you’ve swiped toward a team, their games get a bump. If you’ve skipped them repeatedly, their games dip.
- Crowd heat (± up to 0.75) — Once a game has at least 5 community reactions (🔥 / skip), the fire/skip ratio nudges the score. Low vote counts are down-weighted so a handful of early reactions can’t dominate.
Both adjustments show up in the breakdown sheet with their signed contributions so you can always see why a game scored high for you specifically.
Confidence and floors
- Games with unknown teams (no season stats available) default Star Power to 5.0 and surface an “Estimated” reason in the breakdown.
- League floors guarantee inherently-compelling matchups (playoffs, tournaments, UCL knockouts) can’t score below a threshold even if live data is sparse.
- Final scores are always clamped to 1.0 – 9.9 to preserve perfect 10s for curated editorial picks.
