Settle It on the Scoreboard

What lives on this site

Final Score is a collection of free sports quizzes that run right on the page. The site has three wings. The leagues wing covers the American championships — the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA, the Stanley Cup — plus Formula 1. The soccer wing takes in the World Cup, the Premier League, and the Champions League. The rulebook wing is built on the settled numbers of 14 sports: the counts, distances, durations, and dimensions their rulebooks fix.

League and competition names appear here only to say which competition a question is about. Final Score is an independent site with no affiliation to any league.

Why the answer key holds

Every question on the site draws from one of two datasets. Each dataset was written twice, by two authors working independently, and the versions were compared entry by entry before a single question was generated. The champions dataset — 232 entries spanning the Super Bowl, the World Cup, the NBA, the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the Premier League, the Champions League, and Formula 1 — agreed at the first comparison, all 232 entries. The rules dataset records the settled numbers of 14 sports. Questions cover completed seasons only; nothing depends on a season still in progress. The 2004-05 NHL season is left out entirely, since no Stanley Cup was awarded that year.

How a quiz runs

Every quiz on the site works the same way. Each question offers four options. Pick one and it is marked at once, with a one-line explanation of the correct answer. When the last question is done, a full review of the set follows. Your best score is kept in your browser. There is no signup and nothing to download.
