🏆 Hall of Fame

High-rarity picks (Rare and above) appear on the bottom ticker.

Everything stays in this browser. Student names, pick counts, history and the Hall of Fame are stored by this browser on this computer and nowhere else. There is no account, no server, no analytics, and this page makes no network requests at all once it has loaded. Nobody but someone sitting at this machine can see any of it.

Which is also the catch: a browser that gets cleared, or a machine that gets reimaged, takes your rosters with it. That is what the backup below is for.

What is stored right now

Backup to a file

The backup file is a plain-text list of your students' names. Treat it the way you would a printed class list: keep it on a school-managed drive, not a personal cloud folder or a shared computer's Downloads.

Every key this tool writes

⚠️ Erase

This is a classroom machine other people use. Erasing student data removes every name, pick count, history entry and Hall of Fame entry from this browser. It keeps your themes, task prompts, options and anything you have unlocked, so the tool is still set up the way you like it.
