Fanyard also publishes the "Yardstick," which is the community consensus on who will win and by how many points or more. The Yardstick is Fanyard's measurement of the community opinion on which team is the favorite to win and by how many points. The Yardstick is set by having fans chose the winner of a game, and by how much at least, they believe that team will win the game by. The data from all fans picking a particular game is aggregated and then shown as how strong each team's believers feel their team will win by, and as an overall measurement of all fans' predictions on the game itself – the Yardstick.
