How deterministic replay works
Why the replay timeline is reproducible, and why the animation never determines the result.
- 1
The result comes first
Each fixture's final score is decided by the seeded simulation. Replay then synthesizes intermediate scoring events consistent with that final — the animation illustrates, it never decides.
- 2
Same seed, same playback
Because the timeline is built deterministically from the seed, the same fixture always replays identically. There is no live feed.
- 3
Scrub the win-probability trace
The scrubber and win-probability trace let you step through the synthetic momentum of a fixture without implying any real event.
Key takeaways
- The final score is decided before the animation.
- Replay is reproducible from the seed.
- No live data is ever involved.
