Rules

Game Overview

This is a Premier League football predictor game. The goal is to gain the most points each week, by predicting results of Premier League matches.

The competitor with the most points at the end of the season wins the PLPredictor crown.

There are 38 rounds across the season, usually containing about 10 games.

You can also create private leagues to compete with your friends.

How does the scoring system work?

The PLPredictor scoring system works as follows:

Correct outcome = 10 points

(e.g. You predicted 2-1 and the match finished 3-0)

Exact score = 40 points

(e.g. You predicted 2-1 and the match finished 2-1)

Double Points

Once per week before kickoff, select the prediction you're most confident with to double any points returned from that match.

How do the leagues work?

Everyone is entered into the PLPredictor Global League upon signing up.

Private Leagues

You can also create your own private leagues and invite your friends to compete with.

Live during each match, the predictions of your friends will be visible (but only for matches that have started), causing many entertaining moments!

Creating / Joining a League

Once logged in, visit the /leagues/ page and click "MANAGE LEAGUES" to create or join a league.

To join a league you must have an invite code.
This can be found at the bottom of the league table by a member of the league.

League vs League competition

All leagues are entered into a league of leagues competition, scoring points based on the average of the active members of the league each week.

Predictions

When can I make my predictions?

At any point until the match kicks off.
Once the match is under way, you cannot change your prediction. This site attempts to be accurate at all times, however sometimes kickoff times change or are incorrect. If someone tries to take advantage of this by entering or changing their prediction after the match has started, their prediction will be voided for that match.

What happens if I miss a prediction? Do I get 0-0 automatically entered?

No, we had a vote on this and it was decided the most fair thing to do was to void the prediction.

I see predictions of others on the results page, but how can I choose a different league?

By going to your Account page and choosing the league you want to display from the dropdown.

The match I jokered (2x) was postponed or cancelled, what happens?

If it has not started, you should be able to move the joker to another match. If there are no unstarted matches to move it to, it will be automatically moved to the last eligible fixture in the gameweek when the points are calculated.

Other Questions

What is the Hall of Fame?

The highest scoring player of each week is entered into our history books.
I am planning on adding user profiles with a badge showing how many times you have achieved this!

How does renewing leagues work?

Only league admins can renew a league. On the /leagues/ page, select "MANAGE LEAGUES" and then "RENEW LAST SEASONS". Choose the league you would like to renew from the drop-down list.
Once renewed, anyone who was part of that league last season will automatically be added when they next log in.

Do I have to play with the double points token?

No - the creator of the league has their own choice whether to include points from the double points token. However, the token will still count in the Global League.

What happened to the BBCPredictor?

Unfortunately, the BBC has decided to discontinue their competition, but don't worry - we use the same rules, but with many improvements!

When do the leagues update?

Usually within a few hours after the last match of the day.
