Rules of Play

The goal of the competition is to collect as many points as possible by predicting the final scores of the games and answering bonus questions.

Predictions for each match must always be entered at least 5 minutes before the individual matches. You can change your prediction at any time until then. The result after 90 minutes (regular playing time) always applies. Please note that you must save your predictions before you open another page in the competition. For this purpose, simply click the button 'Enter prediction'. Otherwise, your entries are lost.

You receive the following points after the end of the respective individual matches:

If you predict the exact result, you receive 3 points in your account!

If you predict the correct outcome, in other words, the correct winner or a draw, you receive 1 point!

If you do not predict the exact result or the correct outcome, you do not receive any points!

Bonus questions should also be answered in the competition. If the answer is correct, you are awarded bonus points and have the possibility of jumping to the front in the tallying of overall points. The bonus points are accounted for in the overall tallying, but not the match day evaluation.

You are awarded points for each correctly answered question. Important: You must answer all bonus questions before their expiry date. The following applies for all bonus questions: They are cancelled after the matches are over.

In addition to individual participation, each player in the competition can start a group to which they can invite other participants. Players find the group using the 'Group' button and can then request to join. The founder of the group has the ability to accept or reject these requests, which they receive by email and can view on the group page.

A pool team consists of at least 3 participants and only the average points of all group members are counted. All players must be registered in the competition to participate in a group, and each player can join only one group. In the group standings, the captains have the ability to dismiss or add new team members only until the deadline specified on the group overview page. After this deadline, the team composition must remain unchanged until the end of the competition.

The winner of the football pool is the player who has accumulated the most points with their match day predictions and bonus questions after the finale. If multiple players have the same point total, the player who has more correct predictions, in other words the exact results, is the winner. If this value is also the same, the winner shall be determined by drawing.
