Scoring

Points are only awarded for correct predictions and will vary from 0 to 100 depending on the number of players who also made the correct prediction. The formula used to calculate points is:

100 - percentage of players making prediction

For example, if 10 per cent of players correctly predict the result then 90 points will be awarded.

A guide to the number of points which can be earned for each prediction is displayed under each potential outcome. These numbers are updated hourly and are liable to change until the round deadline.

Points and rankings are updated after each game has finished.

If a match is brought forward (taking place before the predictions deadline), abandoned or postponed it shall be declared null and void and no points shall be awarded.

Jokers

Each Matchday you can assign one game to be your joker. In this fixture you will also be asked to predict the result.

If you correctly predict the result of your joker fixture then you will be awarded 100 extra points.

Leagues

Each player will compete in a number of leagues. These leagues are:

• The global league involving all registered players
• A league for fellow managers from your country
• A league for managers starting the same round as you
• Private leagues with your friends and colleagues
• A Public league with up to 50 other game players

Each player can be in up to 10 private leagues.
