3+ fumbles or 3+ INTs thrown−3
Final Score — the number that decides the rank — is a coach's live Hotness Score (their looks rating, averaged in with every crowd vote to date) plus their cumulative weekly bonus/penalty points from the rules above. That means a coach's rank can shift purely from voting, not just from Sunday's games.
Hotness Score itself: the running average of every crowd vote a coach has received, plus their original looks rating counted as one vote. Week 1 starts as exactly that rating. It's official and frozen for the week — votes cast during the week show as a live preview, but only become official (and count toward rank) at Tuesday's reveal.
