Rules
Everything you need to know about how the game works.
Registration
Sign up with your first name, email, and a display name. Your display name is permanent and cannot be changed. It must be 3–24 characters long and use only letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, and hyphens.
Prediction window
- Opens 24 hours before kick-off.
- Closes 90 minutes before kick-off.
- You can edit your prediction freely while the pool is open.
- Late submissions are rejected — by the server, not just the form.
Privacy
Before a pool closes, only you can see your prediction. Once the pool closes, every prediction for that match becomes public on the Today's Predictions page.
Scoring
- 3 points — exact score (including exact draws).
- 1 point — correct winning team, wrong score.
- 0 points — wrong winner, OR inexact draw (predicting 1–1 when the actual score is 2–2 earns nothing), OR no prediction submitted.
Knockout matches & penalties
Score predictions use the result before a penalty shootout. If the official score after extra time is a draw, it counts as a draw for prediction scoring — even if a team wins on penalties.
Postponed or cancelled matches
If a kick-off time changes before the pool closes, the prediction window shifts with it. If a match is postponed or cancelled, existing predictions are preserved; the moderators decide whether the pool stays open or is reset.
