Onboarding

Quick Start

Seven calm steps for exploring German fantasy sports thinking with Performance Marks — no banking layer involved.

USF Sports Lab is a publisher, not a gaming operator: you will not find stakes, leaderboards with cash, or withdrawal screens anywhere in this codebase.
01
Pick a league you already follow

Start with Bundesliga, DEL, or Basketball Bundesliga material you genuinely understand — familiarity beats hype.

02
Sketch a practice roster

Assign educational roles using public match data. The roster lives only inside the lab — no ticket is issued.

03
Watch fixtures as reference

Treat live games as case studies. Note pressing shapes, power-play shifts, or pick-and-roll trends without linking them to money.

04
Collect Performance Marks

Marks accrue according to the Scoring Framework tables. They remain classroom counters, not balances.

05
Audit your assumptions

Compare predictions with real outcomes to refine tactical reading — the reward is insight, not payouts.

06
Journal what changed

Write a short takeaway after each session. Slow notes beat frantic refreshes.

07
Pause when it stops feeling light

If study sessions turn tense, close the tab. USF Sports Lab imposes no deadlines or obligations.
