How it works

The rules.

Flonflon is a weekly music game where friends submit and listen to music.
A flon is a select group of players. You can join as many flons as you want.
Post tracks your friends will love or that will surprise them. That’s the whole game.
Everything below is details.

The week

01 Monday · drop Post one Spotify track and, if you like, a 140-character pitch. A new flon’s first drop opens immediately; regular games then start on Monday. Drop closes Monday at 23:59 in your flon’s time zone. If you forget, the first eligible spare in your track pool posts automatically.

02 Tuesday · listen Everyone’s tracks become one Spotify playlist, in random order. Their pitches are visible, but nobody’s name is attached.

03 Until Sunday · vote Fill every place on your ballot. You can’t vote for your own track, and you can change your mind until voting closes on Sunday 23:59 in your flon’s time zone.

04 Monday · reveal Names come out, points land, the winner is revealed, and the next week opens.

Scoring

Points assigned by ballot position
Ballot position	Points
1st pick	10
2nd pick	5
3rd pick	3

These are the standard points. The Z retains its legacy scoring of 12, 8 and 5. Historical results are unchanged.

If you play but don’t vote or if your vote is incomplete, your own score gets halved.

Win a week and you can post a bonus second track the next one: twice the chance to win again, with no penalty if you keep just your first drop. Your final ranking will be based on the best scoring track.

If there are only 3 players, you only make a top 2. And you can’t play if you’re only 2 players.

The indice flonflonique

100 Perf Attend Senior

Performance, adjusted by at most ±10% twice

Performance: For every week you play, your points are divided by the maximum you could have earned: the top ballot value multiplied by the number of other eligible voters. Your performance is the average of those weekly percentages. avg(points / weekly maximum)
Attendance coefficient: Weeks played against eligible weeks since you joined. Attendance of 50% is neutral; the coefficient ranges from ×0.90 to ×1.10. Personal-pause weeks do not count against you.
Seniority coefficient: Eligible weeks since you joined, reaching full seniority after 52 weeks. The coefficient grows from ×0.90 to ×1.10.

The final formula is 100 × performance × attendance coefficient × seniority coefficient. In a seasonal or yearly table, performance follows the selected period while attendance and seniority keep your full history in that flon. The global index on your home averages your current season’s flon indices by weeks played.

Taste affinities

Your taste match compares completed ballots from revealed weeks you played together, across every shared flon. Shared first picks count most: identical ballots score 100%, while ballots with no tracks in common score 0%.

Seasons

The standings start level four times a year: Winter (January–March), Spring (April–June), Summer (July–September), and Fall (October–December). Old games and all-time stats stay in the history, so a new season is a fresh race, not a reset of the flon.

Badges

5× Five-week streak Play in at least one flon for five calendar weeks in a row. It stays active while the streak continues.

◎ Top voter accuracy Finish a season with the smallest average gap between your ballot and the final track ranking in a flon, after at least three ballots.

W1 First ever winner Win the first scored week in a flon. Tied winners all earn it.

Good to know

· A track someone has already played in this flon is rejected. The app checks as you post.

· A game needs at least 3 players with one valid track each. Otherwise it is abandoned: nobody scores and nobody loses.

· Didn’t post and had no eligible track-pool spare? You can still listen, but you can’t vote. A pool spare keeps you in the game and is marked at the reveal; because it was automatic rather than a manual drop, it does not count towards your on-time drop rate.

· After 3 consecutive games without a valid drop (manual or from your track pool), the app pauses you for future games. Return from the flon page whenever you’re ready.
