How the skill-based judging works

WhereZit is designed and operated as a skill-based competition platform. Outcomes depend on judged skill methodology and participant judgement and spatial reasoning — not a random draw.

  1. Participant submits a coordinate prediction on the competition image.
  2. Entries are sealed during the active competition period using cryptographic hashing.
  3. Independent judges submit their own coordinates after the competition closes.
  4. The platform calculates a consensus coordinate from the judges' submissions.
  5. The closest valid paid participant prediction to the consensus coordinate is identified for each prize according to the published rules.
  6. Result verification data is published after the competition is completed and certified.

Skill factors judges and participants apply

  • Visual trajectory and ball path estimation
  • Player body positioning relative to the scene
  • Angle and depth estimation from a single frame
  • Sporting context and plausible play geometry
  • Spatial reasoning on a fixed image coordinate system
  • Consistent judgement applied before entries are unsealed
