How it works
Fantasy football for the stock market. Five picks, one week, one winner.
How Bull Blitz works
Bull Blitz is a fantasy stock-picking game. Every week you build a five-slot roster from a universe of around 500 real S&P 500 stocks. Your roster locks at the Monday opening bell (9:30 AM ET). The game scores your picks using the real percentage return from Monday open to Friday close — no mock prices, no made-up numbers.
Large-cap, S&P 500 index component. Lower ceiling, lower floor — your anchor pick.
Higher-growth company, not necessarily profitable yet. More volatile, more upside.
Total wildcard — any eligible stock in the catalog. Your thesis, your rules.
Admin-curated board of 4 stocks. You pick one. Adds a weekly surprise element.
Weekly constraint set by the admin (e.g., "healthcare stocks only"). Changes every week.
Your score is the equal-weight average of all five slots' percentage returns. A slot you didn't fill scores 0%. A halted stock is IR'd and excluded from the average automatically.
League play:In a league, you're matched against one opponent each week in a head-to-head matchup. Higher score wins. Win a matchup and earn +10 tokens. Win your league's season and earn +100 tokens. Tokens accumulate on the global leaderboard — they're your permanent score across all leagues and solo play.
Solo play: No league? No problem. Build a solo team any week. Positive return weeks earn +5 tokens. Your solo scores appear on the same global leaderboard as league scores.
A standard season runs 6 weeks: 4 regular-season weeks of round-robin matchups, then a 2-week playoff (semis and final). Your league commissioner can set the season to Sprint (4 weeks) or Marathon (11 weeks) instead.
Stock market 101
Ticker symbols
Every publicly traded stock has a short abbreviation called a ticker. Apple is AAPL. Tesla is TSLA. Nvidia is NVDA. When you search for a stock on Bull Blitz, you're searching by ticker or company name. Tickers are unique per exchange — AAPL always means Apple Inc., nowhere else.
What "% return" means
Percentage return is how much a stock moved during the scoring window. If a stock was priced at $100 at Monday open and closed at $105 on Friday, its return is +5.00%. If it dropped to $92, it's -8.00%. Bull Blitz doesn't care about the dollar amount — only the percentage move. This means a $5 stock and a $500 stock are on a level playing field.
Market hours
US stock exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ) are open Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time. When the stock market is closed (nights, weekends, federal holidays), prices don't move for equities. That's why Bull Blitz uses the Monday open → Friday close window — it's exactly one full trading week, no noise from overnight gaps.
Rosters lock every Monday at 9:30 AM ET. If Monday is a market holiday (e.g., Memorial Day) and an opening price isn't available yet, your entry price uses the prior Friday's close — your lineup still locks on schedule.
Blue chip vs. growth stocks
Blue chip stocksare large, established companies with long track records — think Apple, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson. They tend to be less volatile: they won't double in a week but they also won't crater. Good for stability.
Growth stocks are companies prioritizing expansion over current profits — think AI startups, biotech, electric vehicle companies. Higher ceiling, higher floor. They can swing ±15% in a week on an earnings call or a product announcement.
Bull Blitz' Blue Chip and Growth slots are designed so you always have one anchor pick and one high-upside pick — strategic balance is baked into the game structure.
Why Friday close?
We score at Friday's official 4:00 PM ET close price — the last publicly reported trade before the weekend. This is the most reliable, unambiguous price point in the trading week. There's no dispute about what "the price" was: everyone got the same 4:00 PM print. After-hours trading exists, but it's lower-volume and less representative — using it would introduce noise.
FAQ
No. Bull Blitz uses tokens only — a points system with no monetary value. Think of it as a score, not a wallet. You can never deposit or withdraw real money.
There's nothing to withdraw. Tokens are in-app score points. They track your performance on the leaderboard but have no cash equivalent.
If a stock in your roster is halted (trading suspended) or delisted, that slot is IR'd — it scores 0% for the week and doesn't count against you in the return average. You can't be penalized for a market event outside your control.
No. Once the Monday 9:30 AM ET opening bell rings, your roster is locked until Friday close. The swap window reopens Friday at 4 PM ET and closes again Monday at open.
Any empty slots score 0% for the week. You're still in the league — just pick your roster before next Monday's open.
Not in the same slot type — stocks you used last week are blocked this week (Mystery slot excepted). This keeps the game from devolving into 'just pick NVIDIA every week.'
Each week the admin reveals 4 stocks for the Mystery slot. You pick one of those 4 — you can't free-pick for Mystery. It adds a curated twist to the game.
The Twist is a weekly constraint applied to one slot in your roster — e.g., 'must be a healthcare stock' or 'must have a market cap under $10B.' It changes every week and keeps strategy fresh.
