WNBA Matchday Companion
A smart game-day app for WNBA fans that tracks live win-probability swings, surfaces storyline beats (like Marina Mabrey's career season) during breaks, and tells you exactly what each possession means for the playoff race.
Hardcore WNBA fans, especially Toronto Tempo and Washington Mystics followers, who want richer context than a box score
- Live win-probability meter that updates after every possession and visualizes momentum shifts during a game
- Player-spotlight cards that pop up at key moments, e.g., 'Mabrey is averaging 21.6 PPG and shooting 40% from three' during her run
- Playoff-race tracker: with each result, see exactly where the team stands vs. the 8-seed and what the next three games imply for tiebreakers
- Schedule difficulty rating so fans can preview whether tonight's opponent is a trap game or a must-win against a top-six team
The Toronto Tempo's first season has fans searching for context on playoff implications, and the Mystics–Tempo matchup is the kind of tight race where live AI context adds the most value.
