Category Standard

LeagueApps is a well-established, venture-backed (Series B) vertical SaaS platform powering youth sports, with verified revenue exceeding $20M and millions of users. Despite the verifiable success and market leadership, the submission itself was low-quality ('ThunderStorm', 'everyone', 'most people'), necessitating significant penalties for accuracy and professionalism. The high score reflects the robust reality of the business (strong utility, high traction) outweighing the poor submission effort.
