Online severe weather forecasting game/competition now open to the public

[Malcolm M]

Hi everyone!

I've been working on building an online weather forecasting game where players make point forecasts that are automatically scored based on their proximity to storm reports. There's a leaderboard for each forecast period, so players can compete to see who's made the best forecast. There are also weekly leaderboards as well as an all-time leaderboard.

I made the game public this month, and would like to know what you guys think! The website is https://wxdarts.com/.

Below is an example of what the result for a forecasting period might look like - arrows are forecasts and dots are reports.
