What gives a promo a perfect 100 score?

A perfect 100 requires four signals together: a stated attendance cap, a named sponsor, highlighted status from the team, and a recognizable player likeness in the item type. Most high-scoring bobbleheads sit just below the top because they hit three of the four.

Which teams have the highest-rated promos?

The current leaders are on the team rankings page, which orders every scored team by the same system. Team-level scores roll up average promo score, schedule variety, and highlight share across the entire team's season.

How are bobbleheads and jerseys ranked?

Bobbleheads earn 30 points in the item-type component, jerseys earn 20, t-shirts earn 15, towels earn 10. Layering on a low attendance cap, a named sponsor, and a highlight tier pushes the total well above other giveaways.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does PromoNight rank promos?

Every scored promo gets a 0 to 100 total built from five components: type (giveaway, theme, food, kids), item desirability (bobbleheads and jerseys outscore towels), attendance cap presence, highlight tier, and sponsor presence. The list above sorts by this total descending, with the soonest date as a tiebreaker.

What makes a promo score 100?

A 100 score requires a giveaway with a desirable collectible item (typically a bobblehead), a stated attendance cap, a highlighted status from the team, and a named sponsor.

Why is my favorite team not at the top?

The list ranks by score, not team identity. A team running mostly food deals and theme nights will rank below teams with high-cap bobblehead programs. Filter by league above to see how teams in your league cluster, or visit the team page for the full schedule.

Why are NBA and NHL not included?

The scoring layer rolled out for MLB, MLS, and WNBA first. NBA and NHL promo data exists in PromoNight but has not yet been processed through the structured-extraction pipeline that this ranking depends on. Those leagues will join in a future release.

How often does this list update?

Team scores and per-promo scores are recomputed when a scoring run processes updated promo data, and can shift between runs as teams announce more events and the variety bonus adjusts. The Last updated date on this page reflects the most recent scoring run.

What does the "Presented by" line on a card mean?

It names the sponsor underwriting the promo, typically a local business or national brand. A named sponsor adds 3 points to the total score because sponsorship correlates with a more produced fan-facing event.

Can I see only bobblehead nights?

Yes. Visit /best-promos/bobbleheads for the same ranking filtered to derivedSignals.itemType equal to "bobblehead". That page shows every scored upcoming bobblehead night across the three scored leagues with its own ranked list.
