Questions, answered

No. Start is A$9.99 and Pro is A$19.99, and each covers a full season.

Yes. Every Start and Pro plan runs to the end of 31 October, then renews automatically each 31 October at the price you signed up at. Join from 1 October onwards and you're covered to 31 October the following year. You can cancel any time before renewal.

Sign in, open the upgrade page and choose Manage billing. Cancel there and your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for, then moves to Free. Your account and linked team stay. Manage billing shows your paid period as a trial ending 1 November: that's how Stripe labels the time you've already paid for, not a free trial.

Yes, in full, if you ask within 7 days of subscribing or upgrading. After 7 days, fees are not refundable. Contact details are on the Legal page.

There's no trial period, but the Free plan needs no card, and the 7-day refund covers you if a paid plan isn't for you.

Manage billing, on the upgrade page, handles both.

Choose Upgrade to Pro on the upgrade page. You pay the difference between the two plans (A$10 at today's prices) and your plan still runs to 31 October. If a mate referred you, enter their code there before you pay.

Cancel Pro in Manage billing. Once your paid period ends, choose Start on the upgrade page.

A one-off A$19.99 payment for Pro until 31 October 2027. It doesn't renew, so there's nothing to cancel.

No. Lifetime Pro never expires and never bills.

In the SuperCoach app, open your team and tap Share. Save the image it makes, then upload it on the Link my SuperCoach team page, in the My Team menu. THESCIP reads the image, finds your team and asks you to confirm it. It takes about 15 seconds. Every plan can link, Free included.

No. You only upload the share image.

No. THESCIP never makes trades or any other change to your SuperCoach team.

No. The image itself is read once and discarded. We keep what we read from it: your team name, the round, your score and ranks, the players we recognised and the matching SuperCoach team id. Each upload is recorded, including ones that couldn't be read.

Choose Not my team and upload again. If your team shares its name with others, use the image straight from the Share button, not a photo of a screen; the player list is what tells teams apart.

Use a PNG or JPEG under 5 MB, made by SuperCoach's Share button. You can try 10 times in any 24 hours.

Yes. SuperCoach gives every team a new id each season, so a 2026 link doesn't carry into 2027. Link again once your 2027 team is picked.

THESCIP makes no requests to SuperCoach between seasons. Prices, scores and breakevens stay as they finished in 2026 until SuperCoach opens the 2027 season, then they update again.

When SuperCoach opens the 2027 season and its Team Picker, expected in December. Link your 2027 team once you've picked it.

There are no trade or captain calls in the off-season, so Ask THESCIP says so rather than guess. Questions about players, prices, stats and news are still answered, from 2026 figures.

Fixture Edge and Run Home look at upcoming games. The 2026 season is over and the 2027 draw isn't loaded yet, so they have nothing to show until it is.

So you know the tools before the Team Picker opens: plan your Round 1 squad on THESCIP's projected 2027 starting prices (labelled as projections until SuperCoach releases its own), and learn the Round Simulator, which runs on 2026 figures until then.

Each player in your squad gets a score from five inputs, then a Sell or Hold call; the Buy list is the ten best players outside your squad. Most players in a healthy squad sit on Hold, which is the right answer most weeks.

1. Form against breakeven. One of the two strongest inputs: is his recent average above or below what he needs to hold his price?
2. Price movement. A rising price backs up good form; a falling one backs up poor form.
3. Injury and availability news from the last 21 days. A confirmed injury weighs as heavily as poor form against breakeven; a doubtful tag counts for less, and a player returning gets a small lift.
4. His next three fixtures, rated on what each opponent concedes to his position.
5. What the creators are saying. Only counted once two or more calls on him are in, so one passing mention doesn't move the score.

The reasons behind each call are listed on the player's card.

Usually his breakeven has climbed past his recent average, a hard run of fixtures is coming, or he has an injury flag. Treat it as a prompt to check, not an order.

Videos from the SuperCoach YouTube channels THESCIP follows are transcribed each day. A model running on THESCIP's own hardware picks out buy, hold and sell calls and rates how firmly each was made. It's told to skip vague mentions, but it doesn't always manage to, so treat a single creator call with care.

Creators use nicknames. When a name can't be matched to a player automatically, it waits for a manual check. Until then it's left out of the mention feed, which only counts it as unmatched; on the Buy/Hold/Sell page it can appear under the spoken name among community picks, but it doesn't move any player's score.

Trades from Trade Pick, the Trade Engine and Ask THESCIP's direct trade replies are checked in code against your squad, positions, prices and cap before you see them; the AI only explains them. Open-ended Ask THESCIP answers are written by the AI from your data and can be wrong, so check any move in Trade Pick before you make it.

THESCIP's own predictions are logged when they're made and graded once the round settles, on the Accuracy Ledger. A record can be marked withdrawn or superseded, but it's never edited or deleted. Creator calls made in the preseason are held off the ledger for now.

They're withheld while the grading method is re-measured, and return once it's settled.

On THESCIP's own hardware. Your team and your questions are not sent to an outside AI company.

Your name, email and sign-in account; your plan; your linked team and what we read from your share image; anything you save, such as squad plans and player labels; and a record of which pages you use. If you've linked Discord, your last 10 Ask THESCIP questions and answers, from Discord or the site, are kept so it can follow the conversation. Payment details stay with Stripe and never reach THESCIP.

Your SuperCoach sign-in tokens, so THESCIP could refresh your team and read your head-to-head leagues and ladders automatically. THESCIP used them only to read, never to change anything. Those refreshes are switched off until the 2027 season.

The leagues open once SuperCoach opens the 2027 Team Picker in December. The league codes, how to join and the full rules will be posted here then.

Lifetime Pro members each have a referral code. The one who brings the most new coaches to Pro by the end of 28 February 2027 (Brisbane time) wins A$500. Lifetime Pro members see their code and the standings under Referrals.

Click their link, or enter the code (it starts SCIP-) in the referral box on the upgrade page before you pay for Pro. It only counts for Pro, it costs you nothing extra, and the box closes at the end of 28 February 2027.

Use the Report Issue button at the bottom right of almost every page while you're signed in. It goes straight to the person who builds THESCIP.

Yes, on Pro. Open Alerts, follow the link to push alert settings, and switch them on.

Yes. Open Link Discord on THESCIP to get a code, then type !register followed by that code in the THESCIP Discord. Asking questions with !ask is a Pro feature.

No. It's independent and not endorsed by either.
