The two boards
The game lives in cross-referencing them: the standings are who’s winning; the Highest-Scoring Games board is the live answer key your picks are trying to land on.
Player standings
No scores yet — standings appear after the first weekly grading run once the 2026 season kicks off. Weekly standings are provisional (the board churns); scoring is final after Week 18.
Highest-Scoring Games board — the live top 25
The board starts filling when Week 1’s games go final (September 2026) — all of Week 1 lands first, it’s full by Week 2, and from then on it churns all season as new shootouts fight their way on.

Over the Slate FAQ
How does Over the Slate work?
Before the 2026 season kicks off, pick the 10 games (any weeks) you predict will finish among the season's highest-scoring by Game Score, and rank them 1–10. All season, the real top-25 Highest-Scoring Games board updates weekly — your score builds as your picks fight onto it. One entry, zero weekly homework.
Is Over the Slate free?
The page, rules, and both boards are free to read — the game is part of MockSlate Pro ($12/year, which also unlocks Slot Draft, Bye Board, Off the Map, Booth Call, Flex Watch, private friend leagues, and advanced stats). There's no prize: Pro games are leaderboard-glory only, which is exactly why they can live behind Pro.
How is it scored?
+1 for each of your 10 picks that finishes anywhere in the season's top 25 by Game Score, +3 bonus for each pick in the actual top 10, and +2 more for each pick placed at its exact rank within the top 10. Max score 60; a sharp season lands roughly 8–20.
What is Game Score?
The shared scoring formula: combined final points, plus combined net yards ÷ 25, plus 5 per combined defensive/return TD, plus 10 if the game goes to overtime. Big totals and wild games score big. It's published on the rules page.
When do entries lock?
At the 2026 Week 1 kickoff — the entry page shows a live countdown keyed to the real schedule. Until then you can edit or withdraw your slate freely. After Week 18 the board is final and so is your score.
