Podium Prophets

Built by a fan, for fans

I got tired of scoring predictions in a spreadsheet.

Every race weekend it was the same routine: collect everyone's picks over email, watch the session, manually score ten people's predictions in Excel, update the standings file, and send it back to the group. If I forgot a weekend, the whole thing fell apart. Podium Prophets exists because none of that should be manual.

Origin

I'm a single developer and an F1 fan. My friend group ran predictions over email chains with a shared Excel file. I built Podium Prophets to automate the scoring, and the project outgrew our group - so now it's open to everyone.

Mission

Make everything automatic. Results come in, scores update, standings refresh, and everyone sees where they stand. No one volunteers as the scorer. No one chases people for their picks.

Why this instead of a spreadsheet

Fully automatic

Session results are imported, every prediction is scored, and league standings update without anyone lifting a finger. No more weekend admin shifts or forgotten scoring rounds.

All data, one place

Lap times, session results, driver context, and historical performance are all here. You don't need to tab between five different sites to make an informed pick.

Your league, your rules

Private leagues with invite links, per-league scoring rules your leader can tune, built-in leaderboards, and per-session breakdowns. New prediction categories keep getting added over time.

FAQ

Is Podium Prophets free?

The core experience - predictions, automatic scoring, leagues, leaderboards, and championship tracking - is free and will stay free. This started as a passion project and the fundamentals will always be accessible to everyone.

Who is this built for?

Anyone running F1 pick ems in a group chat, Discord server, email chain, or shared spreadsheet. If your group argues about who picked what and nobody wants to score it manually, this is for you.

Do I need a full league to start?

No. Create a league, invite a couple of friends with a link, and start predicting. You can add more people any time during the season.

Ditch the spreadsheet.

Create a league, invite your group, and let the app handle scoring, standings, and data. You just predict.
