Predict the final score in goals and points.
How to Play
Predict the final score for each team in goals and points
Enter each score as goals-points, for example Donegal 2-10 v Kerry 1-12
How the winner is decided
1. Exact score. Goals and points right for both teams.
2. Both totals right. Each team's total is right, even if the goals and points aren't (1-17 counts as 0-20).
3. Right result. You called the winner, or the draw.
Level within a step? Fewest points off wins: how far you were from each team's total, added together. If nobody gets the result right, fewest points off wins.
Still level? A prize pot is split equally; fixed prizes go to a random draw.
Important Notes
Enter scores in goals-points format (e.g., 2-10)
Remember: 1 goal = 3 points when calculating totals
Scores are based on the final result as published by the official source. This includes extra time if played. Penalty shootout results do not affect the score
Cancelled/Postponed Matches
Cancelled matches are automatically replaced with the backup GAA match
If no replacement available, competition falls to a random draw from each entry. This draw is 100% random selection by the system.
For full cancellation policy, see Terms & Conditions
Last Man Standing
Pick a different winning team each week. One wrong pick and you're eliminated!
How to Play
Pick one team to win each round from available fixtures
You cannot pick the same team twice throughout the competition
Your team must win (draws and losses eliminate you)
Deadline for picks is typically 2 hours before first match of the round
Elimination & Prizes
One wrong pick eliminates you from the competition
If a match is abandoned, cancelled or postponed you get a bye, and can no longer use that team
Due to technical constraints, if a match is marked as a walkover, technical loss, or suspended, you get a bye, and can no longer use that team
If all remaining players are eliminated in a single round, just those players continue on to the next round
If the next gameweek starts less than 18 hours after a round finishes, it's skipped and the next round uses the gameweek after it
Competition ends when one person remains or after 12 rounds, whichever comes first
Any final survivors after the final round split the prize pot equally
Pick Deadline
If you don't submit a pick before the deadline, you're automatically assigned the next available team alphabetically (one you haven't already used) from a match that is going ahead. You're only eliminated if no unused team remains. If no match in the round is going ahead, everyone gets a bye
Once your team's match kicks off, your pick for that round is locked and can't be changed
Make sure to check deadlines for each round
All results are based on normal time only. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not count
Golden Goal
Hold the minute closest to the first goal in a football match.
How to Play
You can buy multiple entries
Each entry is assigned 1 random minute from 0–90 (91 possible minutes)
There are 91 minutes and each one is sold once. When they are gone, the competition is sold out.
The entry with the closest minute to when the first goal is scored wins
If the goal falls exactly between two sold minutes, both holders share the pot
No goal scored: minute 0 wins
Goal in 90th minute or later: minute 90 wins
Pricing & Discounts
One minute costs the base entry fee
Buy multiple entries and save 10% off the total
Example Scenario
Liverpool vs Arsenal, first goal is scored at 23 minutes. If you had minute 23, you win! If you had 22, and you're the closest, you win! If someone else also had 24, you split the pot!
Important Notes
If no goal is scored (0-0 draw), the winning minute is 0
All results are based on normal time only. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not count
Cancelled/Postponed Matches
If the match is cancelled, minutes are transferred to the backup match
If there is no backup match chosen by the organiser, or the backup match is also cancelled, winner is decided by random draw from every entry
For full cancellation policy, see Terms & Conditions
Perfect 10
Predict Win/Draw/Win for 10 matches. Get them all right to win or share the rolling jackpot!
How to Play
Your club picks 10 matches and 2 backups
You predict Win/Draw/Win for each match
Get ALL predictions correct to win the jackpot
If no one gets all 10 right, the jackpot rolls over to the club's next Perfect 10, if it runs one
The top scorer prize, if enabled by organiser, comes into play if the jackpot is not won
Prize Distribution
Custom prize set by organiser (not dependent on pot)
Designed as a rolling jackpot competition
Multiple winners share the jackpot equally
Top scorer prize (optional)
Organiser can enable an optional top scorer prize
Awarded when NO perfect predictions exist
Goes to the participant(s) with the highest score (most correct predictions)
If multiple participants tie: tie-breaker score used first (Home Win=1, Away Win=2, Draw=3)
If still tied after tie-breaker score: the top scorer prize is split equally between all tied players
Example Scenario
A Pick 10 competition with 10 matches selected. You predict Win/Draw/Win for each match. If all 10 of your predictions are correct, you win! If 3 people get all 10 correct, you each get 1/3 of the prize. If no one gets all 10 correct and the top scorer prize is enabled: the person with the most correct predictions wins the top scorer prize. If multiple people tie for most correct, tie-breaker score is compared (Home Win=1, Away Win=2, Draw=3). If still tied, the top scorer prize is split equally between all tied players.
Important Notes
Perfect 10 is all-or-nothing: you must get ALL predictions correct to win the jackpot
Multiple perfect winners share the jackpot equally - no tie-breaker for perfect scores
Top scorer prize uses tie-breaker score first; if still tied, the top scorer prize is split equally
Unlike points-based competitions, one wrong prediction means you don't win the jackpot
All results are based on normal time only. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not count
Cancelled/Postponed Matches
If matches are cancelled, events are replaced with backup events.
If backup events are exhausted, and not enough to fill all cancelled matches, the jackpot cannot be won, but the top scorer prize remains if enabled.
