## What is Clinch?

What does tonight's game do to your team's playoff odds? Clinch shows the exact swing — before puck drop, tipoff, or first pitch. Live for NHL, NBA, and   
  MLB.                                                                                                                                                       
   
  Trusted by 690+ fans following their teams across all three sports. Free for one team, no sign-up required to check odds.                                  
                                                                  
  REAL PLAYOFF ODDS, LIVE

  30,000 Monte Carlo simulations run within minutes of every completed game. Not a static table — a live model that answers "what does this actually mean for
   my team's shot?" No guesswork. Just math.

  TONIGHT'S ROOTING GUIDE

  Some random Tuesday night game between two teams you don't follow could be the most important game of the night for YOUR team. Open Clinch, see exactly who
   to root for tonight — and why it matters.

  EVERY GAME SCORED BY IMPACT

  Each matchup gets a live impact score based on how much it shifts your team's playoff race:

  • A win tonight might boost your odds by 3%
  • A loss could drop them by 5%
  • Division and tiebreaker games can swing everything

  See the stakes before puck drop, tipoff, or first pitch.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 4 — 2026-08-14

What's New in This Version                                      

  NEW · Playoff Race
  The Season tab now shows who your team is really competing with for a spot — same-conference (NHL/NBA) or same-league (MLB) rivals with the playoff cut
  line, games back, games remaining, and Monte Carlo playoff odds for each.

  NEW · Weekly History drill-through (Pro)
  Tap any week on your Weekly Summary to see the games that moved your odds that week, plus a single "Other league games" row summing the ripple effect from
  around the league.

  Also new:
  • Daily Digest and Weekly Recap (Pro) now surface during notification setup
  • Redesigned empty states on Live and Games — useful even when your team isn't playing
  • Yearly plan pricing leads with the per-month cost so the sticker shock is gone
  • Frosted-glass paywall overlays on Pro-locked cards

  Fixes:
  • MLB scoring summaries restored after an ESPN API change
  • "Today" labels on late-night games now match the game's actual date
  • Finished game cards are tappable to expand the scoring summary
  • Weekly card and drill-down refresh correctly after Monte Carlo runs

### 3.0 — 2026-07-13

This release rebuilds how playoff odds work behind the scenes. The simulator is now bracket-aware — it knows which series have finished, which are in progress, 
  and what the current score is — instead of resimulating the whole postseason from regular-season standings every time.

  What you'll see:
  • Accurate championship odds during the playoffs. Eliminated teams show 0% (not a leftover 4%).
  • "Eliminated in Round X by [Team]" badge replaces stale projections once your team is out.
  • Correct "Make Conference Finals" / "Make Round 2" percentages for teams mid-series — a team already in the semis won't show a 40% chance to get there.
  • Live series state on your team's card: "Conference Semifinals, leads 3-2 vs BUF."
  • Upcoming playoff games now show "Win this series" odds with proper win/loss swing, instead of falling back to championship deltas.
  • Game Impact cards work in the playoffs. Series wins and eliminations now produce real championship-odds movement.
  • AI explanations switch to a season-retrospective tone for eliminated teams instead of regular-season language.
  • Rooting section tells you why a team is out: "won't make the playoffs" vs. "Season Over — eliminated from the playoffs."
  • NHL playoff data feed fixed — eliminations now flow into the app within hours of the final buzzer.

### 2.0 — 2026-04-12

- Playoff mode is ready for primetime. Odds, bracket data, championship chances, and playoff-specific screens now snap into place much more cleanly when
    the postseason starts.
  - Season transitions got a full tune-up, so moving between preseason, regular season, playoffs, and offseason feels a lot less weird.
  - Live updates and refresh timing were tightened up, which means less stale data hanging around after big changes.
  - Game impacts and season data are now better isolated, so old-season leftovers are much less likely to sneak into current views.
  - Postponed and edge-case games are handled more gracefully, because chaos is fun in sports, not in your app.
  - Offseason and archive data got cleaner, including better handling for champions, season wrap-up info, and preseason reset behavior.
  - We squashed a pile of playoff edge cases, race conditions, and timing bugs to make the app more reliable right when things start getting interesting.

### 1.0 — 2026-04-11
