What Is SizzFizz?

What SizzFizz Measures

SizzFizz tracks fan sentiment toward athletes and teams.

• Sizz expresses positive sentiment.
• Fizz expresses negative sentiment.
• Each registered user may hold one active vote on each athlete or team.
• A vote may be changed as the user’s opinion changes.
• Public scores include participation totals, giving context to the result.
• Scores reflect fan judgment at the time they are published.

SizzFizz adds a public-opinion measure to the sports landscape. It gives form to enthusiasm, confidence, frustration, loyalty, momentum, and changing perception.

The High Noon Drop

SizzFizz publishes updated public scores each day at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

• Votes are recorded as they are cast.
• Score direction remains sealed until High Noon.
• Updated scores and vote totals are released together.
• Media outlets and sports organizations gain a dependable recurring event for coverage and engagement.

The High Noon Drop creates anticipation for fans and a useful daily reference point for those following public reaction.

In the Groove

In the Groove shows where fan attention is concentrating during the last completed fifteen-minute quarter.

• It identifies the most active athletes and teams.
• It can surface reaction to games, trades, injuries, announcements, and major performances.
• It gives newsrooms and organizations an early sign that attention may be shifting.
• It shows activity without revealing whether the votes are Sizz or Fizz.
• Direction remains sealed until the next High Noon Drop.

This allows SizzFizz to show where the sports world is reacting while preserving the meaning of the daily reveal.

3 WK Rising and 3 WK Falling

SizzFizz also tracks sustained movement in public sentiment.

• 3 WK Rising identifies athletes and teams whose scores have moved upward across three qualifying Wednesday High Noon Drops.
• 3 WK Falling identifies continuing downward movement across the same period.
• A single short-term reaction does not determine the designation.
• The system is designed to show lasting changes in public confidence.
• Trends can support recurring reporting, rankings, interviews, and broader sports narratives.

These indicators help distinguish a developing shift in sentiment from a temporary burst of reaction.
