Start with the match list
The predictions page is built around the full tournament schedule. Each fixture has a home team, away team, kickoff time, and a simple 1/X/2 choice: home win, draw, or away win. The goal is to make every pick easy to understand before the match starts.
Use private leagues for small groups
Private leagues let friends, families, offices, and communities compare picks on their own leaderboard. A public leaderboard is useful for overall ranking, but a smaller league usually makes the tournament more fun because every match can change the table.
Watch the deadlines
Match predictions close shortly before kickoff, while tournament-wide picks close when the first tournament match starts. The lock rules keep late information from changing the competition after teams and lineups become clearer.
Understand score multipliers
Some correct picks can be multiplied by a published score value. A safer favorite may be worth fewer points than a difficult call. This rewards football judgement instead of only rewarding the most common pick.
Remember that it is a free game
