How the league works

The seats. The Herd is the ten creators with the best Herd Score, chosen on the first Friday of each month and frozen until the next: that is the freeze, and a member's seat is their place on that day. The next freeze is on 6 Nov 2026.

The race. The Herd Score moves every Friday, and so does the rank on the left. The three members ranked lowest are in the relegation zone; the three best-scored creators outside The Herd are in line for promotion. At the next freeze the ten best scores take the seats.

The score. A Herd Score is the creator's tenth among the scored creators, 10 the best tenth, so most of The Herd is 10/10: a band, not a grade. Equal scores are ordered by the score behind the tenth, then by more finished bets.

The big number. Following the creator minus following The Herd over the same days, for the span the switch chooses. The order and the zones follow the Herd Score, not this number, so a creator can be in line for promotion with a minus here.
