Lock your team.
Swap your captain.
Take on the room.
GameDay is played live, while the match is on the big screen at your pub or club. Scores update in real time with every play. Live questions pop up every quarter and close on a countdown. Swap your captain the moment a goal flips the match — 1v1 against a mate, crew vs crew across the room, or on an inter-venue team taking on the pub down the road. At event games your kudos lights up the venue screens and you play to win in-venue prizes — including a major end-of-season prize: a brand new car. No money, no gambling — just live play, live updates, live questions.
Play it live. Lock at the siren. Swap on every goal. Answer before the clock runs out.
Build your nine
Pick a lineup of nine players within the budget. Mids, forwards, defenders, a ruck — your call.
Lock at bouncedown
Live countdown ticks down to first bounce. Lineups freeze the second the match starts. Late lock? You're in with a perk on the side.
Swap & answer live
Switch your captain live, the moment a goal lands. Live questions pop on screen every quarter — beat the countdown and your score updates in real time, right there on the leaderboard.
Built to scale. When the siren sounds, the whole pub locks in at once — we stress-tested for exactly that moment.
Sustained write throughput measured under a full-crowd, single-instant stampede.
Every player locking their lineup in the same instant — zero crashes, zero lost actions.
Smart write-coalescing batches a stadium's worth of lock-ins into a handful of writes.
Engineered for national-finals scale — ten times a packed pilot venue.
Measured on GameDay's in-house adversarial load harness, May 2026 — real database writes, no mocks.
Inside GameDay
Real-time, every second
Everything happens live — scores update play by play, live questions hit the venue big screen every quarter on a closing timer, and captain swaps respond to the goal that just happened, not the next morning's recap.
1v1, crew vs crew, venue vs venue
Challenge the mate across the table head-to-head, roll your table into a crew and take on the rest of the room — or join an inter-venue team and put your pub up against every other venue in the competition.
Kudos on the big screen, a car at the end
No bets, no odds, no cash. At event games your kudos goes up on the venue screens, and you play to win in-venue prizes — merch, vouchers, experiences — plus a major end-of-season prize: a brand new car.
When the siren goes,
everyone locks at once
Bouncedown is the hardest moment in live fantasy: thousands of lineups lock in the same second. GameDay is load-tested against exactly that stampede, with a transaction pipeline that batches hundreds of locks into a single database write.
measured on today's single-node pool during 5,000-player stampede runs
hundreds of simultaneous lock transactions collapse into one database write
even when every player in the venue locks on the same siren
on-database work is sub-millisecond; the pipeline is engineered around it
Every release is stampede-tested at 5,000 concurrent players locking in the same instant, with per-phase latency telemetry on every run.
The launch-season ceiling. The queueing model is validated within ±15% of measured runs, and the database pathway for 10k is a single-day infrastructure change.
Lock coalescing plus database sharding takes the same pipeline to 50,000 concurrent — multi-state finals, one leaderboard, no rearchitecture.
GameDay
in your pocket
Lineups, captain swaps, live stream questions and quarter-by-quarter scoring — all from your seat in the stand. Lock-countdown push when your match is about to bounce.
Free to play, always
GameDay is not gambling. There's nothing to deposit and nothing to lose — kudos can't be cashed out, and prizes are non-cash rewards put up by your venue or the event promoter. Just you, your crew, and the match on the big screen.
