How Reggie rates games
Every game gets a rating out of 10 and a verdict. The final score never shows up.
Four verdicts
- Epic8 and up. The rarest one: watch the whole thing.
- Must-watch7 to 7.9. A really good game. Don't let it slip by.
- Worth it5 to 6.9. A good watch if you have the time.
- Skip itUnder 5. You can skip this one.
After the game

- Stakes3 pts
Where both teams stand, rivalries, the playoffs and the Cup.
- Performances2 pts
Big individual nights.
- Stars1.5 pts
The stars who actually played.
Before the game
A promise, not a verdict: we rate what the matchup has to offer.
- Stakes5.5 pts
- Both teams' form3 pts
- Expected stars1.5 pts
Early in the season, before 10 games, we leave form and standings out: too soon to read anything into them.
Who writes the text?
The numbers come from official game data. An AI writes the text from those numbers, with one simple rule: in Zero spoilers mode, nothing that gives away the result.
The limits
A rating is still an opinion. A Worth it game between your two favorite teams might beat an Epic one for you: it's your replay.
