How it works

• Enter a scoreline for each fixture on the Predictions page. Fixtures are grouped by gameweek, with the nearest one open.
• The deadline is each fixture's own kickoff — not the start of the gameweek. You can change a pick as many times as you like until then; after kickoff it locks and everyone's picks are revealed.
• Miss a deadline and you simply score nothing for that match. There's no penalty for sitting one out.
• One pick counts in every league you're in on that competition. You don't predict the same match twice for two leagues.

“Result” means home win, draw or away win. You earn the extra half point for being close: the right result and a scoreline within one goal. That means either one team’s score spot-on and the other out by one (2–0 when it finished 2–1), or both out by one in the same direction, which keeps the goal difference (3–2 when it finished 2–1).

Being out by one on bothteams in opposite directions is two goals away, so 3–0 when it finished 2–1 is the result point only. Right goal difference on its own isn’t enough either — 5–4 when it finished 2–1 scores 1.

• Pick one fixture per gameweek as your banker and its points are multiplied by 2. An exact score becomes 6 points.
• Enter both scores first (they save automatically), then press Banker. Choosing another fixture in the same gameweek moves it — you never have to clear the old one.
• It can only help you. The lowest score is 0, and doubling nothing is still nothing — so the skill is picking the match you're most confident about, not deciding how much to risk.
• Once your banker's fixture kicks off it's locked, and you can't move it onto a later match in the same gameweek. Otherwise you could watch one game go badly and shift the double somewhere else.
• If you play in more than one competition, you get a banker in each.

Call a lot of a gameweek's results correctly — not the exact scores, just who won or drew — and you earn bonus points on top:

Awarded once every fixture in the gameweek has a confirmed result, and it applies in every league you're in. Fixtures you didn't predict just don't count towards the total. Bankering a match doesn't affect it — the bonus counts correct results, not points.

• Final scores are fetched automatically after full time and applied as soon as football-data.org has them — points and the leaderboard update straight away.
• Site hosts can correct a result from the host area if the API got it wrong. Saving a new score re-scores every prediction on that fixture.
• If a result hasn't appeared 1h 45m after kickoff, any member can press Request result on the fixture to trigger the lookup.

• Ranked by confirmed points, highest first. Players level on points share a rank — there's no tiebreak.
• Each row also shows your exact-score count, streak bonus points, and a form strip for the last five gameweeks.
• You see every league you're in, one after another — nothing to switch between.

• Anyone can create an account. Leagues are private — you need an invite link or a 6-character invite code to join one.
• A league follows one competition. Join as many leagues as you like; your picks carry across all of them.
• Whoever creates a league is its commissioner, and can rename it and share invites. Scoring is the same in every league.

There's a public API for submitting picks programmatically, on exactly the same rules and deadlines as everyone else — banker included. Sign in and check the API docs for details.
