Over the Bar Competition
Single-match competition for hurling and Gaelic football. Predict goals and points — the way GAA scores work.
What is Over the Bar?
Over the Bar is a single-match competition designed specifically for hurling and Gaelic football, where scores are recorded as goals and points (e.g. 2-14 to 1-17). Entrants predict the exact scoreline for both teams.
Perfect for All-Ireland finals, provincial championships, and National League — the big inter-county fixtures that get your community talking.
Goals & Points Format
Proper GAA scoring — predict goals and points separately for each team (e.g. Wexford 2-28, Kilkenny 1-25).
Guaranteed Single Winner
Smart tiebreaker ensures exactly one winner every time. No splitting, no draws.
Flexible Prize Options
Pot-based, custom fixed prizes (up to 5 places), or sponsored prizes from local businesses.
Made for Irish Clubs
Built by people who understand GAA. Proper county colours, fixture integration, the works.
Share Anywhere
Share on WhatsApp, social media, or print QR posters. Posters always point to your latest competition — print once, use forever.
Three Ways to Structure Prizes
Same flexibility as regular Correct Score — choose what works for your club.
Pot-Based Prizes
Prize grows with entries. Set your split (e.g. 60% prize, 40% fundraising). No minimum entries needed — the maths always works.
Custom Fixed Prizes
Advertise specific prizes — €500 for 1st, €100 for 2nd, etc. Up to 5 prize positions. An alternative to a traditional raffle with multiple prizes. You'll need enough entries to cover them.
Sponsored Prize
Local business sponsors the prize. Their branding on share links and competition page. All entry fees go to your club.
All-Ireland Final: Pot-Based
An example setup for a big match — easy to promote, easy to scale.
What that fee replaces:
- No prediction sheets to print and hand out at the gate
- No cash to collect in the pub
- No chasing people who said "I'll pay you later"
- No manual scoring or arguments about tiebreakers
- No spreadsheets, no envelopes, no hassle
