General
“Prop” is short for “proposition.” It's a question about how one part of an event will play out. The term comes from “proposition bet,” a wager on one aspect of an event rather than its overall result. For example: “Who will shoot the best round of golf?” at a bachelor party, or “How many speeches will there be?” at a wedding.

Grading
Grading is the process of selecting the correct answer for a question/prop.
Your event will have a dedicated, passphrase-protected page where you or a designated person can mark the correct answers to your props as they happen.
You can grade the props yourself, or share the grading page and passphrase with a friend and have them grade for you.
No! You can grade questions one at a time as they happen. This provides the best experience for participants as they can see the leaderboard update as things progress.
Yes! You can change a grading result if you've made a mistake or need to make an amendment.
Your event will exist for 90 days after the start date. You can grade questions anytime during that window.
Each correct pick earns one point, and the leaderboard updates as props are graded. If players tie on points, everyone's tiebreaker answer is shown on the leaderboard so the closest answer can settle it.
