Once you have registered an acocunt with us, you will be taken to your predictions. All you have to do, is predict the scores of each match displayed. Read on to learn about the scoring system...
When can I predict?
You can predict any time before the designated kick off time.
Scoring
[Win] If you predict the score correctly, you will recieve 3 points.
[Draw] If you predict the correct winner, but not the correct score, you will recieve 1 point. This also count if you predict a draw correctly, but not the exact score.
[Lose] If you predict neither correctly, you get 0 points.
You may also recieve bonus points for correct margins and the quality of your prediction for example predicting a score not many others did.
Bonus Points
If you predict a score correctly which less than 15% of other players predicted for, you will recieve 1 bonus point.
You can also get 1 bonus point for predicting a team will win who less than 15% of other players have predicted to win. This also includes a draw.
If you predict a score and miss out by 1 goal, you will reciece 1 bonus point.
Goal Difference
Goals for is calculated first by tallying the amount of goals you correctly predicted. Your goals against are then totalled by setting that value to the margin you missed out by (or got it right [0 Goals Against]).
Your goals against is then subtracted from goals for giving the total value of your goal difference.
Example
Prediction: 1-1
Score: 2-0
First of all you predicted that the home team would score 1 and actually scored 2. We award you 1GF.
Now we work out how many you missed out by. The score you predicted was 1-1 but the actual result was 2-0 so you would have missed being correct by 2 goals.
Goal Difference = 1 - 2
Goal Difference: -1
How are the standings orderd?
The standings are ordered as follows:
- Points (inc bonus points) (DESC)
- Goal Difference (DESC)
- Goals Against (ASC)
