How It Works

Rules, scoring, and The Lion — everything you need to know.

Scoring

Points are awarded based on how accurately you predict the final score.

7 pts

Exact score

You predict the exact final score.

5 pts

Direction + goal difference

Correct direction and correct goal difference.

4 pts

Correct direction

You predict the right winner or draw.

0 pts

Wrong direction

Wrong winner or draw direction.

An exact score always scores 7 — the goal diff bonus does not stack on top.

Predictions

  • You can submit and edit your prediction up until kickoff.
  • Predictions lock exactly at kickoff.
  • After kickoff you cannot change your prediction.
  • Other members' predictions are hidden until kickoff.
  • After kickoff, all predictions become visible to active league members.

The Lion

  • The Lion is a system player in every private league.
  • The Lion predicts every match automatically.
  • If you forget to predict before kickoff, The Lion's prediction is silently assigned to you.
  • This is not publicly marked. It appears as your own prediction to other members.
  • The Lion competes in the standings like any other member.

Private Leagues

  • Every league is private and independent. A prediction in one league does not affect another.
  • You can submit a different prediction for the same match in each league you belong to.
  • Joining a league requires an invite link or 6-character code.
  • Only active league members can see predictions and standings.

Postponed or Cancelled Matches

  • If a match is postponed, cancelled, or abandoned, it may be temporarily locked.
  • The admin can void or resolve matches based on official status.
  • If a match is voided, points for that match do not count.

Season Table Prediction

Before the season starts, you can predict the full final standings — which team finishes 1st, 2nd, all the way down. Your prediction is locked at the first kickoff of the season.

Prediction window

Opens 30 days before the first match and closes at kickoff.

Bonuses

  • Champion correct — +25 pts
  • Each top-4 team correct (any order) — +5 pts
  • Each relegated team correct (any order) — +8 pts

Maximum possible: ~320 pts. A random guess scores roughly 35–50 pts.

Tournament Predictions

World Cup and UCL leagues offer two extra prediction games on top of match predictions.

Group Stage / League Phase

Predict the final order of each group before the first match of that group kicks off.

World Cup (4-team groups): 2 pts per exact position + 2 pt bonus if both top-2 are correct — max 10 pts per group.

UCL League Phase (36 teams): 2 pts per team you correctly place in the top 8 — max 16 pts.

Knockout Bracket

Before the first Round of 16 match, fill the entire bracket — pick who wins each round all the way to the final.

1 ptsRound of 16 correct — 1 pt
2 ptsQuarter-final correct — 2 pts
4 ptsSemi-final correct — 4 pts
10 ptsChampion correct — 10 pts
  • The bracket locks at the first R16 kickoff. No edits after that.
  • If a team you picked is eliminated, you score 0 for all their future rounds.

Max bracket score: 34 pts (8 R16 + 8 QF + 8 SF + 10 Final).

Live Points

  • During a live match, the current score is used to calculate temporary live points.
  • Final points are locked only after the official full-time result.
  • Standings update in real time and may change throughout a match.
