THE GUIDE

HOW TO PLAY

FlickPickd is fantasy sports for movies. Draft real upcoming films, score points based on how they perform at the box office and with critics, and beat your league.

01

JOIN OR CREATE A LEAGUE

Get an invite link from a friend or start your own league as commissioner. Free leagues support up to 8 teams. Pro leagues unlock battle bonuses, watched bonuses, and more.

02

DRAFT YOUR FILMS

When draft day arrives, teams take turns picking real upcoming theatrical releases in a snake draft. The order reverses each round. You have 60 seconds per pick. Miss your slot and the most-wanted available film gets auto-drafted for you.

Tip: scope out the Film Guide before the draft starts so you know what you want.

03

SCORE POINTS ALL SEASON

Points are calculated automatically once a film releases. The formula is simple:

(Box Office Gross × Rotten Tomatoes Score) ÷ Scoring Divisor

A blockbuster with great reviews scores huge. A bomb with bad reviews scores nothing. Both matter.

04

TRACK THE STANDINGS

Check your league's standings tab any time to see where you rank. You'll also get a weekly email every Monday with the current leaderboard and your position.

05

WIN BATTLE BONUSES

PRO

Pro leagues run monthly and quarterly battles. Whoever scores the most points from films releasing in that window wins a bonus added to their total. There's also a watched bonus: the more films you log as watched, the more extra points you earn.

These bonuses stack on top of base points and can completely flip the standings late in the season.

THE SCORING FORMULA

(BOX OFFICE × RT SCORE) ÷ DIVISOR

Box Office

Total domestic gross from TMDB, updated as films release.

RT Score

Rotten Tomatoes % score from OMDb. Higher critical acclaim = more points.

Divisor

Set by the commissioner when creating the league. Scales the numbers to a readable range.
