Getting the Best Experience (PWA)
Shark Attack Fantasy League is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — think of it as an app without the App Store. Install it on your home screen for the full experience: push notifications, no URL bar, full-screen mode, and faster loading.

Tap the Share icon⎙ (square with arrow) at the bottom of Safari
Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
Name it "Shark Game" and tap Add in the top-right corner
Open from your home screen — the app launches full-screen with no browser chrome
Open Chrome and go to the Shark Attack Fantasy League website
Tap the three-dot menu⋮ in the top-right corner (or tap the "Install" banner at the bottom of the screen if it appears)
Tap "Install App" or "Add to Home Screen" from the menu
Tap "Install" on the confirmation prompt — the app will be added to your home screen
Open from your home screen — it launches full-screen with push notifications and no address bar
Why go PWA? Push notifications only work in PWA mode on iOS. You also get a clean full-screen experience with no browser chrome and faster load times.

If a shark circles you, maintain eye contact. If a shark maintains eye contact with you, congratulations — you're the main character now.
The safest place to be is on land. The second safest is in a boat. The third safest is being faster than your friend.

Sharks have been around for 400 million years. They've never paid taxes. You're not winning that fight — just swim away.
