GET YOUR FORM SCORED BY AI Upload a clip of your jumpshot. Our AI model breaks down your release angle, elbow alignment, knee bend, and follow-through — then scores your form on a 0-100 scale. No coach? No problem. HEAD-TO-HEAD MATCHUPS Vote on real shooters in side-by-side matchups. The community decides who has the cleaner form. Every vote moves shots up or down the global Elo ladder. CLIMB THE TIERS From Brick → Rec League → Rookie → Starter → All-Star → Champion → Hall of Fame. Crossing into a new tier triggers a celebration moment you'll actually want to share. Tier-up notifications keep you posted even when you're not in the app. DAILY SHOWDOWN Every day at midnight UTC, the top two shooters in the system are picked for a head-to-head Showdown. If you're picked, you get a notification. If you're not, you vote. Maintain a voting streak across days for bragging rights. MINI-GAMES Higher or Lower — guess which shot has the higher Elo. Guess the AI Rating — see if your eye matches our model. New games drop regularly.
