How it works
Each member tips every match in the league — picking the final score. Each member can also select a defensive team and a fair play team, expected to concede and receive the fewest goals and fouls respectively. Lastly selecting a trio of player that are believed to score the most goals throughout the tournament. Points are shared among all members who got the same thing right, so the competition stays tight throughout the tournament.
Point pots
For each fixture, three separate point pots are shared among those who tipped correctly:
- Winner — tipped the correct winning team (or draw)
- Goal difference — tipped the correct goal difference
- Result — tipped the exact final score
Each pot is worth a number of points equal to the stage multiplier (see table) times the number of members. Those points are divided equally between all members who got that part right. If nobody got it right, the pot rolls over.
Playoff rounds
In knockout rounds, only the winner pot is active — goal difference and result pots are not awarded. The winner pot multiplier is higher to compensate.
You still earn points for the winner even if your losing team was wrong.
Goal scorers
Before the tournament, each member selects three goal scorers. Every goal they score earns points proportional to the league size (members ÷ 6). The same player cannot be chosen twice.
Goals scored in a penalty shootout do not count.
Defensive team
Each member picks one defensive team. Points are awarded based on how few goals the team concedes, scaled by members ÷ 4. Conceding many goals gives negative points.
Fair play team
Each member picks one fair play team. Points are awarded based on the number of cards the team receives, scaled by members ÷ 4. A clean game earns bonus points; many cards give negative points.
Two yellow cards in the same game count as 3 negative points. A double yellow leading to a red counts as both.
Tip modes
When creating a league you choose how and when tips are submitted:
- Full season — all fixtures tipped before the tournament starts
- Group / playoff stage — group stage tipped upfront, knockout stage tipped once teams are known
- Per stage — tips submitted at the start of each stage
- Per round — tips submitted round by round
- Per fixture — each match tipped individually before kickoff
N = number of active members in the league.
