How do I play?
Start or join a private league, pick the result of each match before kick-off and collect up to 4 points per match once the result is confirmed.

Up to 4 points per match. Football: exact score 4, right result and goal difference 3, right result 2. Ice hockey, final score with overtime and shootout: exact score 4, right winner and goal difference 3, right winner 2. Basketball and American football: same range 4, next range 3, other range 2, wrong winner 0.

No. Other players see your nickname and points, not your picks.
Does one pick count in all my leagues?

Leagues
How do I start a league?

New players who join through an invite wait for a spot. Nobody is removed.
Price and upgrades
Does the upgrade renew automatically?
No. It is one payment for one league and one season. When the season ends, the league continues as Free and everyone stays.
Who pays for a bigger league?
