How it works

Six matches every week, drawn from ten European competitions. Call the scores before kick-off. Win the week for bragging rights, and the season for the title.

Every week, six matches

Six fixtures are chosen each week from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, the Champions League and four more. You predict the exact score of each — not just who wins.

How you score

3 Exact score you said 2–1, it finished 2–1

1 Right result you said 2–1, it finished 3–0

0 Wrong you said 2–1, it finished 0–2

Six matches, so 18 points is a perfect week.

When to pick

Three days before the first match Picks open. You can change them as often as you like.
The first kick-off Everything locks — all six at once. Nothing can be changed after that.
When the last match ends Scores are worked out automatically and the week’s winner is announced.

Miss the deadline and you score nothing that week, so it is worth putting something in even if you have not looked at the fixtures.

Rounds, seasons and all-time

The round One week. Everyone starts level and the highest score wins it. Bragging rights only — it does not add to your season total.

The season Eight weeks. Your points add up across every round and never reset. Whoever tops this table when it ends is the champion.

All-time Every season added together. A career total that never resets.

There are five seasons between now and May, each about eight weeks. Win no single week and steady scoring can still take you the title.

If two people tie

Each rule is applied in turn until one player is left.

1 Most points
2 Most exact scores
3 Fewest wrong picks — a match you did not pick counts as wrong
4 Closest on goals — every goal you were out by, added up
5 Most away scores right — the harder half of a scoreline

On the leaderboard, any round settled this way shows which rule decided it and where each player dropped out.
