Correct Score
Predict the exact final scores of multiple matches to accumulate points.
How to Play
- Predict exact final scores for all selected matches
- Highest total points across all matches wins
- Ties are broken by: 1) Most exact score predictions, 2) Lowest goal difference, 3) Random draw
Scoring System
- Exact score prediction: 7 points
- Correct result (win/draw/lose) but wrong score: 3 points
- One team's score exactly 1 goal off (other team exact) but wrong result: 1 point
- Wrong result and score: 0 points
Example Scoring
Example Scoring
You predict Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal. Actual result: Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal = 7 points (exact score). If actual was Chelsea 3-0 Arsenal = 3 points (correct result, wrong score). If actual was Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal = 1 point (Wrong result, but only off by 1 goal). If actual was Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal = 0 points (wrong result).
Tie-Breaker Examples
Tie-Breaker Examples
Scenario: Two users both have 30 points and 2 exact score predictions each.
Scoring - Both have 2 exact scores, so we move to tie-breaker 1.
Tie-breaker 1: Goal Difference - Total goals predicted vs actual goals. Actual match result: Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal (3 total goals).
User A predicts: Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal (4 total goals) → 4 minus 3 = 1 goal difference
User B predicts: Chelsea 4-0 Arsenal (4 total goals) → 4 minus 3 = 1 goal difference
Both have difference of 1, so winner selected by random draw.
Cancelled/Postponed Matches
- If a cancelled match cannot be replaced by a backup, the match is excluded from scoring - you receive 0 points (not penalised)
- Winners determined by highest points from remaining matches
- For full cancellation policy, see Terms & Conditions
GAA Correct Score
Predict the exact GAA final score in goals-points format to earn points based on accuracy.
How to Play
- Predict the exact final score for each team in goals-points format
- Enter score as: Team A Goals-Points vs Team B Goals-Points
- Example: Dublin 2-10 vs Kerry 1-12
- Points are awarded based on prediction accuracy
- Highest total points wins
- Ties are broken by: 1) Lowest score difference, 2) Random draw
Scoring System
- Exact match (goals AND points correct for both teams): 5 points
- One team exact + other team's total correct: 4 points
- Both teams' total score correct (wrong goals/points split): 3 points
- Correct result + one team's total correct: 2 points
- Correct result (win/draw/lose) only: 1 point
- Wrong result: 0 points
- Note: Goals = 3 points, Points = 1 point in GAA scoring
Example Scoring
Example Scoring
Actual match ends: Dublin 2-10 vs Kerry 1-12. Prediction 2-10 vs 1-12 = 5 points (both exact). Prediction 2-10 vs 0-15 = 4 points (Dublin exact 2-10, Kerry's 15 total correct). Prediction 3-07 vs 2-09 = 3 points (both teams' totals correct: 16 & 15). Prediction 3-07 vs 1-08 = 2 points (Dublin wins, Dublin's 16 total correct). Prediction 3-15 vs 1-08 = 1 point (Dublin wins, but both totals wrong). Prediction 1-08 vs 2-14 = 0 points (predicted Kerry win, Dublin won).
Tie-Breaker Examples
Tie-Breaker Examples
Scenario: Two users both have 1 point (correct result). Match: Dublin 2-10 (16 pts) vs Kerry 1-12 (15 pts) = 31 total points.
User A predicts: Dublin 2-14 (20 pts) vs Kerry 1-12 (15 pts) = 35 total → 35 minus 31 = 4 difference
User B predicts: Dublin 3-08 (17 pts) vs Kerry 2-09 (15 pts) = 32 total → 32 minus 31 = 1 difference
Winner: User B wins (lower score difference is better)
