162 reasons for your regulars to come back.

A patron watching a one-off game goes home when it ends. A patron who is chasing the leader on your venue leaderboard is back tomorrow night — and the night after that. MLB is a six-month season with games nearly every day. Make your venue the destination for all of it.

Stakes change behavior. A tipping competition running all season creates them.

Season-Long Foot Traffic
Patrons check the leaderboard and come back most nights. MLB becomes a 162-game event at your venue — not just Opening Day and October.
Live on Your Screens Every Night
The Match Wall activates when games go live. Pull it up on any TV or tablet — real-time reactions and live banter running on your screens most nights of the week.
Patrons Join by Scanning a QR Code
Print one poster. Put it on the bar, tables, or entrance. Patrons scan, join, and make their first pick in under 30 seconds. No app download. No staff involvement.

Set up in five minutes. Runs through October.

🏟️
Match Wall on Your Screens Every Night
Baseball plays almost every night of the week. When first pitch arrives, the Match Wall goes live for every game your patrons tipped. Walk-offs, blown saves, and real-time banter from every fan on The Tipoff who called that game — on any screen you choose. Open it on any tablet or smart TV and let it run all night.
⚡
Zero Admin — All 162 Games
Tips lock at first pitch. Results settle automatically. The leaderboard updates itself after every game across the entire 162-game season. Your staff manage the bar — the platform manages the competition. Nobody is updating spreadsheets after closing.
👥
Unlimited Regulars
No cap on group size. Whether it is 30 regulars who come in every night or 200 people who dip in and out across the season, everyone joins the same group and competes on the same leaderboard. The bigger the group, the better the competition.
🌍
Your Regulars Compete Globally
Every patron who tips at your venue also earns a rank on the worldwide leaderboard. Your local regulars are competing privately in your group — but they're also ranking against MLB fans from around the world. The regular who wins your season leaderboard might be one of the best MLB tippers on the planet.
🛡️
No Betting — Safe for Licensed Venues
The Tipoff is a free-to-play tipping game. No money changes hands through the platform. Patrons compete for fun and for the prize you choose to set. Always check your local regulations for prizes offered, but the platform itself has no gambling mechanics — ever.
🏆
Set Your Own Season Prize
Offer a bar tab at season end, a trophy, a free meal, or legendary bragging rights. Set it once when you create your group and it is displayed to every patron all season long. Your call — any prize works.
🗳️
Weekly Polls — Between Series
A 162-game season runs six months of near-daily baseball — and so do the debates. Weekly opinion polls on the wild card race and who's fading down the stretch give patrons something to argue about between series. Put the question on the chalkboard and reveal what the global fan base thinks.
🌍

Local competition. Global rank.

Your regulars compete in your private venue group — but every tip they make also counts on the worldwide leaderboard. The regular who tops your season table might be one of the best MLB tippers on the planet. That's a story worth putting on the chalkboard.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We've had games on the screens for years but never had a proper way for regulars to track picks across a whole season. Putting the QR code on the bar for The Tipoff gave people a reason to check in most nights, even on getaway-day games nobody used to care about. The leaderboard gets more attention than some of the broadcasts now.”
