About this ranking
Every event in our catalog gets a 0–100 score recomputed every 30 minutes from three deterministic signals. No clicks, no engagement metrics, no editorial promotion — just the math below.
To keep the lists varied, we cap each category at three slots in the top 20 — sports, releases, festivals, tech, and policy events all get a fair shot. Ties break by proximity (closer wins), then alphabetically by slug for full determinism across renders.
