Frequently Asked Questions

How to Play

How do I make a prediction?

Join or create a group, then navigate to the "Predict" page. Drag and drop teams to rank them from 1st to last place in the order you think they'll finish the season.

Can I change my prediction?

Yes! You can update your prediction at any time during the season. Your score will be recalculated based on the current standings.

When do scores update?

Scores are updated hourly as league standings change throughout the season.

Scoring System

How is my score calculated?

Your score is based on how close your predicted rankings are to the actual league standings. The closer your prediction, the higher your score.

We use Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, which compares the order of teams in your prediction versus their actual positions. Scores range from -100 to +100, where +100 is a perfect prediction.

What are bonus points?

You can earn bonus points for correctly predicting key positions. Bonuses vary by league:

  • Champion (+15 points): Correctly predict the 1st place team
  • European Spots (+5 points each): Correctly predict teams finishing in Champions League qualifying positions
  • Playoff Spots (+3 points each): For leagues with playoffs (Championship, League One, League Two)
  • Relegation (+5 points each): Correctly predict teams that get relegated

Do different leagues have different scoring?

Yes! The number of Champions League spots, playoff positions, and relegation zones vary by league. For example:

  • Premier League: 4 Champions League spots, 3 relegation spots
  • Championship: 2 automatic promotions, 4 playoff spots, 3 relegation spots
  • Serie A / La Liga: 4 Champions League spots, 3 relegation spots

How are ties broken?

If multiple players have the same score, the player who made their prediction earlier wins. This rewards early commitment to your predictions.

What's a good score?

Scores above 50 are excellent, 30-50 is good, 0-30 is average, and negative scores mean your prediction was worse than random. Perfect predictions (100 points) are extremely rare!

How do I join a group?
