Question 1

What is a BOOMBLÄT score?

Accepted Answer

A BOOMBLÄT score is a single number out of 100 that represents a weighted aggregate of scores from multiple trusted sources. For TV shows, sources include RT Critics, RT Audience, Metacritic, TVMaze, and TMDB. For football, it is calculated from match results weighted by competition level. For the NFL and NCAA football, it is calculated from the box score of every game. The score is calculated at the episode, season, and series level for TV, at the match, season, and club level for football, and at the game, season, and team level for the NFL and NCAA football.

Question 2

What do the BOOMBLÄT tiers mean?

Accepted Answer

BOOMBLÄT uses four tiers: BOOM (90–100) is elite — the best of the best. BANG (75–89) is consistently strong. BLIP (60–74) has its moments but temper your expectations. BLÄT (below 60) is a rough watch. Every show, season, episode, club, national team, NFL team, and NCAA football program is assigned a tier based on its BOOMBLÄT score.

Question 3

How is the BOOMBLÄT score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The BOOMBLÄT score is a weighted aggregate. For TV, it combines scores from RT Critics, RT Audience, Metacritic, TVMaze, and TMDB, normalised to a common scale and weighted to reflect the reach and depth of each source. Episode scores roll up into season scores, and season scores roll up into a series score. For football, match scores are calculated from results and weighted by competition level, then aggregated into club season and all-time scores. For the NFL, every game is scored from the box score — offensive performance 45%, defensive performance 35%, game context 20% — with playoff games weighted 1.2× to 2.0×, and era-decayed all-time team scores that include Super Bowl bonuses. For NCAA football, the same box-score structure — offense 45%, defense 35%, game context 20% — is recalibrated for college scoring environments, with bowl and College Football Playoff games weighted 1.1× to 2.0×, and era-decayed all-time program scores that apply a strength-of-schedule dampener and championship bonuses.
