Score higher

Everyone names the star

The obvious superstar is the shortest run on the board — go deeper into the roster for real distance.

Old seasons count

Unless the prompt says otherwise, historical players are valid — retired role players are the big earners.

A jog beats standing still

When the clock is dying, any valid name is better than zero distance.

Same prompts for all

Everyone worldwide plays the same seven — the leaderboard is a straight comparison of trivia depth.
