The finer details

A maximum of four points

You earn either 3 points for the exact score or 1 point for the correct outcome. These don’t stack. The goalscorer bonus is independent, so you can earn it even if your score or result is wrong.

Regulation time only

Results are for 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalty shootouts don’t count. Own goals don’t earn a player a goalscorer bonus.

No peeking before the deadline

Other people’s predictions stay hidden until the fixture locks. After that, visit their profile to see their predictions.

Postponed games and corrections

Postponed or cancelled fixtures earn no points. A rescheduled game follows its new kick-off time. Corrected results recalculate everyone’s points.

Hosts play by the same rules

Our podcast hosts join the same league as supporters. They earn points in exactly the same way, with no extra bonuses or advantages.
