The Sweet Spot Score
Not every good tournament is a good tournament for you. The Sweet Spot Score rates each event 0–100 on how well it fits your plan: starting stack for the buy-in (30%), bankroll fit (25%), travel (20%), prize pool (15%) and re-entry (10%). If a part isn’t known, it’s left out and the rest are re-weighted, never guessed.

EXAMPLE
Same buy-in, different fit
Two $200 events at Example Casino, Anytown, both $10,000 guaranteed, re-entry allowed, no trip planned, for a player whose safe maximum is $300. In this example the usual stack for the price is 75 chips per dollar.

Good fit
The deeper stack scores higher. A score is fit with your plan, not a forecast of results.
Questions
Does a high score mean I’ll win?
No. It measures fit with your plan, not your odds or profit.
Why do some events show “—”?
Not enough is known to score them.
Where do I see it?
On event pages, as the “Best fit” sort and the 70+ filter on Tournaments, and in “Suggested for you” on My Year.
Does it use my data?
Your bankroll settings and trips, privately. Nobody else sees your scores.
Is it free?
Yes, with an account, during launch.
