Know The Real Score is a project powered by No2ndPlace. We are an agency that uses the power of sport to create enduring social change and want to help Australians better understand racism in sport and take meaningful steps toward change.
You might be wondering: What does sport have to do with racial literacy?
Well, we’re so glad you asked. Sport is one of the most powerful cultural forces in Australia. It brings people together, shapes national identity, and reflects the values we hold. But it’s also a space where racism, both overt and systemic, can play out in ways that are often neglected by fans and communities.
We created Know The Real Score to help Australians reflect on their own relationship with sport, learn more about the history and impact of racism in sporting culture, and discover practical ways to become a better ally in the fight against racism, both on and off the field.
We partnered with some incredible organisations to bring this to life:
- VicHealth for community wellbeing and equity
- ABC for trusted storytelling and national reach
- Western Sydney University’s Challenging Racism Project for deep expertise in racial literacy and education
Together, we’ve built a tool that’s informative, reflective, and action-oriented - so you can know the real score, and help change it.
No. Know The Real Score is designed to give each person a personalised result based on their answers.
The tool asks questions about your favourite sport, how you engage with it, your knowledge of racism in Australia, your racial literacy, and your confidence in taking action.
Based on your responses, it generates a personalised Persona that reflects where you are on your journey toward being an ally in the fight against racism, in sport and beyond.
Your result isn’t a judgment - it’s a starting point. It helps you understand your strengths, areas for growth, and offers tailored resources to keep learning and taking action. So while others might get different results, everyone gets something meaningful and relevant to them.
You don’t need to provide any identifiable personal information to use Know The Real Score. The tool is designed to be anonymous and educational. You’ll be asked questions about your sport preferences, your knowledge of racism in Australia, and your willingness to take action - but none of this requires you to share your name, email, or contact details .
If you choose to save or share your Persona, you’ll have the option to copy a link or screenshot the page but will not need to enter an email address.
The personal information we collect, such as your Age, Gender, State, Favourite Sport, and Engagement with Sport, is only used to generate your personalised Persona and to help us understand how different communities engage with racial literacy in sport. Your information will never be sold, shared, or disclosed to third parties except where required by law.
We may publish summarised, de-identified findings to highlight which topics and actions resonate most with users across Australia. These insights help inform public conversations and remind sporting bodies, media, and policymakers what matters to fans and communities. Only aggregated data will be shared - never anything that could identify you.

Know The Real Score is an interactive quiz designed to help you reflect on your knowledge and relationship with sport and racism in Australia.
Here’s how it works:
- You start by answering a series of questions about your favourite sport, how you engage with it (as a fan, player, coach, etc.), and your knowledge of racism in sporting history.
- The quiz explores your racial literacy - how well you understand the systems, language, and lived experiences surrounding racism in Australia.
- It also asks about your willingness to take action, and the kinds of action you feel confident taking - whether that’s speaking up, supporting others, or learning more.
- Based on your responses, the tool generates a personalised profile for you. This isn’t a score, but a reflection of where you’re at in your journey toward being an ally in the fight against racism, in your sporting environment and beyond. The tool then provides you with tailored educational resources and suggestions for next steps - so you can keep learning, growing, and making a difference.
