How it works

How Scoring Works

Predict the score and goalscorers. Points are awarded for accuracy — exact scores pay the most. Extra time and penalty shootouts never count.

1. Match Result

Exact score correct

You predicted the exact final scoreline — e.g. predicted 2-1, actual 2-1.

+10
Correct result (win / draw / loss)

You got the outcome right but missed the exact scoreline.

+3
Wrong result

The predicted outcome does not match the actual result.

0
info

do not stack. You receive either +10 (exact) or +3 (correct result)never both.

2. Goalscorer — Base Points

Points per scorer pick, based on how many goals that player actually scores in regulation time. Picks are scored independently.

1st goal

Player scores once in regulation.

+2
Brace (2 goals)

Player scores twice — +1 pt added on top of the first goal.

+3
Hat-trick or more

Player scores 3 or more goals. Maximum 4 base pts per pick.

+4
Own goals only

If the predicted player scores only into their own net, the pick earns 0 pts.

0
Did Not Play (DNP)

If the player never enters the pitch (confirmed by lineup data), the pick is voided — no base pts, no modifiers.

0
info

When official lineup data is unavailable, scorer picks are given the benefit of the doubt and are not voided for non-participation.

3. Match Conditions

Full-time only

Only goals and events in regular time (90 minutes + stoppage time) count. Extra time and penalty shootouts are excluded.

Prediction lock

Predictions lock at kickoff. You cannot edit or submit after the match has started.

Lineup data

Official starting lineups are fetched approximately 20 minutes before kickoff. The scorer picker updates automatically once lineup data is confirmed — players not in the starting eleven or on the bench are marked accordingly.

Scoring delay

Points are calculated automatically once the match is marked final — typically within minutes of the full-time whistle.
