Champ or Not | DoUKnowBall

A daily true or false gauntlet over real title history. Every claim names a genuine champion; the catch is whether they won THAT year. Covers the Super Bowl, NBA, World Series, Stanley Cup, WNBA, college football and hoops, English soccer, the AFL and the NRL.

Champ or Not deals ten claims about champions, one at a time, and every single one sounds right. The Bulls in 1994? The Islanders in 1982? Leicester in 2016? Two of those happened. Your job is knowing which.

Every claim is built from real title history across ten competitions: the Super Bowl, the NBA, the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the WNBA, college football and college hoops, the English title, the VFL/AFL flag and the NRL premiership. The fakes are the cruelest kind: a real champion of that competition, dropped into a year they did not win.

How to play Champ or Not

  • Read the claim: a team, a title, a year.
  • Tap CHAMP if it really happened, or NOT if it did not.
  • The reveal tells you straight away, and if the claim was fake it names the team that really won that year.
  • Ten claims per day, one point per correct call, and everyone in the world gets the same ten.
  • Unlimited mode deals fresh sets as long as you want to keep calling, and its Hard toggle makes every fake a team that really won a nearby season.

    • Rules to know

  • Every team named is a genuine champion of that competition at some point in history. The lie, when there is one, is only ever the year.
  • Hard mode (Unlimited only) tightens the fakes: the wrong team still won for real, within about three seasons of the year on the card.
  • Split titles count as true: if two schools share a college football crown, a claim about either one is a real claim.
  • The daily set is the same for everyone and locks in your result for the day once you finish.
  • No hints, no lifelines, no second guesses. One tap per claim.

    • Example walkthrough

    The card says: The Chicago Bulls won the 1994 NBA Finals. It smells right, the Bulls won everything in the 90s, but 1994 is the baseball year: Houston won it. You tap NOT and the reveal confirms it, one point.

    Next card: The New York Islanders won the Stanley Cup in 1982. That is the middle of the four in a row, so you tap CHAMP. Another point, eight claims to go.

    Strategy tips

  • Work out the era first. Most fakes die the moment you remember who owned that stretch of years.
  • Dynasty gaps are the trap: the Bulls did not win in 1994 or 1995, and the Lakers missed 1990 to 1999 entirely.
  • The reveal names the real winner on every fake, so even a wrong call teaches you the year for next time.
  • Champions repeat. If you know the team has a pile of titles, the question is only whether THIS year is one of them.

    • Champ or Not FAQ

    Are the wrong answers made up?

    No. A false claim names a real winner of that same competition, just attached to a year they did not win. Every team you see genuinely lifted that trophy at some point.

    What about seasons with two champions?

    College football split its crown a few times, and those years count both schools as true champions. A claim about either one is a real claim, never a trick.

    Where does the history come from?

    The same records database behind Name Them All, checked season by season against the official record books before any game was allowed to read it.

    Is Champ or Not free to play?

    Yes. Champ or Not is free to play on DoUKnowBall, right in your browser. No download and no signup needed.
