Score Reveal Celebration
Players wanted revealing their scores to feel exciting — not just watching numbers silently appear on screen.
Animation
Full-screen overlay plays when you tap "Reveal" — fire icon, episode title, points counter ticking up from zero, line-by-line scoring breakdown. Rising embers and a pulsing glow create suspense before each number lands.
Multi-Episode
Multiple episodes queue up and play back-to-back. Tap anywhere to dismiss and move to the next reveal or return to the standings.

Standings Tab Redesign
Stats were hard to read at a glance — everything was packed together with no clear visual hierarchy.
Stats
Points are large and gold, rank is orange, weekly gain is smaller and green — each stat has a distinct visual weight so your eye knows where to go first.
Animation
Animated page entrance on every load: points count up, sparkline rises from flat, survivors stagger in with a fire glow on top performers.
Leaderboard
Rows cleaned up — removed uneven gap dividers, first-name-only display, co-manager names inline.

Complete Game Event Coverage
Auto-scoring missed key moments like tribal immunity and medical evacuations — so scores didn't always match what happened on screen.
New Events
Tribal immunity awards (1st and 2nd place), medical evacuations, multi-tribe challenge results, and auto-derived "Survives Each Episode" points.
Reliability
Full audit trail for every scoring run. Timeout protection prevents hanging. Push notification fires when new scores are published.

Post-Draft Navigation & Display Cleanup
After drafting ended, the Draft tab still lingered and full names cluttered the leaderboard.
- Draft tab automatically removed after drafting completes; Standings becomes the default landing page
- First names only across all views — "Kevin & Tina" instead of full names
- App-wide visual refresh with warmer fire & gold color palette

Custom Draft Pick Order
Players only had one draft format — classic snake order, which can feel unfair.
- League commissioners choose between Classic Snake and Third-Round Reversal before or during the draft
- TRR gives the last picker in Round 1 a strategic advantage for the rest of the draft — balances position fairness
- All players see updated pick order in real time if the commissioner changes it mid-draft

- Generate a team code from My Team and share it with your partner
- Both names appear on the leaderboard (e.g., "Kevin & Tina")
- Either co-manager can make draft picks on behalf of the shared team
- Same roster, scores, and picks visible to both co-managers
