Some groups enjoy a second table that turns score evidence into banter. Others would rather keep the night strictly official. FOM makes that choice optional.
Hall of Shame is a parallel presentation built from recorded performance data. The official standings remain separate. When there is enough evidence, the toxic view can use position, point difference, losses, byes, streaks, close losses, and repeated pair results to select buckets, awards, and roast copy. A tie or an empty score history can deliberately produce a quieter result instead of forcing a loser.
What you get when it’s on
- Zona Cupu on the host view — the ticker and Hall of Shame are recalculated from the score state available in the app.
- Evidence-led copy — eligible roasts can cite losing streaks, byes, point difference, close losses, or a heavy defeat rather than inventing personal traits.
- Conditional awards — cards such as Sultan of Bye, a close-loss specialist, or the bottom-table Cupu title only appear when their thresholds are met.
- Cupu D’Or in Rewind — when Toxic Mode is on and the result has a valid bottom performance rather than an empty or peaceful tie, Rewind can include its Cupu slides.
How to turn it on
- Create a match as usual — format, partner mode, players, and courts.
- Enable Hall of Shame during setup, or open its controls from the action menu while the match is active.
- Pick Mild, Medium, or Savage.
- Record the session normally. Official and toxic standings use the same score evidence but present it differently.
Which level should you pick?
Use Mild for light copy, Medium for a sharper regular-group tone, and Savage only with explicit group consent. During a normal active match the host can change the level or hide Hall of Shame; completed matches lock the setting. Birthday Mode is a special case that forces the Savage edition while that occasion is active.
The read-only match page listens for shared snapshots, so it will show Hall of Shame changes after the host syncs a match milestone. As with official shared scoring, do not describe that remote page as updating on every individual point tap.
House rules
The product’s generated evidence is about recorded performance, not appearance or identity. That does not replace consent: the host still needs to know the group and choose an appropriate intensity. If the room is unsure, leave Hall of Shame off or start with Mild.
When the group wants it, Hall of Shame adds a distinct FOM tone without changing who won the official table. When the group does not want it, the core scoring, standings, history, and Rewind flow continue without it.
