Turn On Toxic Mode (You Know You Want To)
A live Hall of Shame, the Zona Cupu ticker, and the Cupu D'Or trophy. Here's how to switch on FOM's most requested feature in under a minute.
FOM Play Team · · 4 min read Every padel group has one: the friend who talks the biggest game in the chat and delivers the smallest one on court. Most scoring apps let them quietly disappear from memory. FOM doesn’t.
Toxic Mode is FOM’s shame system. Your official standings stay clean and professional. Meanwhile, a parallel Hall of Shame tracks loss streaks, bye counts, and the night’s most tragic scorelines — and turns them into roasts everyone can see live.
What you get when it’s on
- Live shame ticker — “Zona Cupu” alerts fire the moment someone slides toward the bottom of the board.
- Roasts written from real results — losing streaks, byes, biggest defeats. No two nights read the same.
- A toxic awards ceremony — the session ends with categories like MVP (Minus Value Player) and King of Bye.
- The Cupu D’Or — one trophy for the night’s most tragic performance. It shows up in your FOM Rewind too, so nobody forgets.
How to turn it on
- Create a match like usual — format, players, courts.
- In match settings, find Toxic Mode and switch it on.
- Pick a level: Mild, Medium, or Savage.
- Play. The roasts write themselves from live results.
Which level should you pick?
Mild for new groups or mixed company. Medium for your regular crew — sharp enough to sting, friendly enough to laugh at. Savage only when everyone knows what they signed up for. Not sure? Start Medium. You can change the level or switch it off anytime, even mid-session.
House rules
Toxic Mode roasts performance, never people. No jokes about looks, identity, or anything personal — it’s banter between friends, and the host stays in control. If someone’s not feeling it, one tap turns it off.
That’s it. Turn it on tonight, and may the Cupu D’Or land on someone else.
