The Lineup Is is an iPhone app that scores and ranks every game of the day by whether it's worth watching. It covers the NFL, college football, NBA, WNBA, college basketball, MLB, NHL, the major soccer leagues and cups, Formula 1, NASCAR, IndyCar, ATP and WTA tennis, and PGA and LPGA golf.
Eleven factors go into each game's score, including team quality, the playoff race, how close the game is, rivalry, star power and elimination stakes. The score keeps updating during the game, so a comeback or an upset climbs the list. Each game gets a two-sentence explanation in plain English of why it matters.
You set your own bar (Casual, Balanced or Hardcore), and the app tells you when a game clears it. You get a notification, and a Live Activity starts by itself on the lock screen and Dynamic Island. With Pro you can also weight leagues and teams to match how you watch.
It works as a successor to Thuuz, which rated games by excitement and went offline in February 2021. Hide Scores keeps results off the app, lock screen, notifications, widgets and Siri, for anyone watching later.
