FootballScoreClub is a private football prediction game. Players compete by predicting the exact scores of three selected fixtures in each FootballScoreClub round.

A league needs at least 2 players to begin and can have a maximum of 8 players.

Every FootballScoreClub round contains exactly 3 selected fixtures. Every participating player predicts all three.

Yes. The three selected fixtures can come from different eligible football competitions, provided they fall within the relevant FootballScoreClub round window.

FootballScoreClub uses its own rounds rather than following the official gameweek numbering of an individual football competition. Each round contains three selected fixtures.

There are two round windows: Friday–Monday and Tuesday–Thursday.

Player 1 opens at 10:00am UK time on Monday, four days before the round begins on Friday.

Player 1 opens at 10:00am UK time on Friday, four days before the round begins on Tuesday.

No. The hard deadline is based on the first of the three selected fixtures. It is always 11:00pm UK time on the night before that fixture kicks off.

The order is part of the game. Predicting earlier gives a player the first opportunity to claim particular scorelines, so the starting player rotates from round to round.

The starting player moves forward by one position each round. The order does not reverse.

For example: Alex → Ben → Chris → Dana becomes Ben → Chris → Dana → Alex in the next round.

Player 1 opens at 10:00am UK time, four days before the FootballScoreClub round begins.

Player 2 onwards each have a scheduled fallback unlock time. These are spaced two hours apart and work backwards from the 11:00pm hard deadline.

No. If the player immediately before you submits their predictions, your turn opens immediately.

It is the time you are guaranteed to gain access, even if the player before you has still not submitted.

No. It is an unlock time, not a closing time. Once you have access, you can submit any time before the universal 11:00pm hard deadline.

Yes. If an earlier player has not submitted by the time a later player's fallback unlock arrives, both can be eligible to submit.

The hard deadline is 11:00pm UK time on the night before the first selected fixture kicks off.

The complete timing table is available in the Prediction times section of the Rules.

For each fixture, the first player to submit a particular scoreline owns it.

If you are the first player to submit a scoreline for that fixture, it belongs to you for that round.

For example, if you submit 2–1 first, another player cannot later use 2–1 for the same fixture and score points from it.

Yes, but it becomes a duplicate prediction and will score 0 points unless you change it before the deadline.

It still scores 0 points. The player who claimed that scoreline first owns it.

Yes. Duplicate predictions remain editable so you can change them to an available scoreline before the hard deadline.

No. Once you submit a scoreline that is unique, it becomes locked.

Once the new scoreline is submitted and is unique, you claim it and it becomes locked.

No. Scoreline ownership applies separately to each fixture. Someone can own 2–1 on one match while a different player owns 2–1 on another.

An exact scoreline earns 3 points. If the final score contains 5 or more total goals, an exact scoreline earns 4 points instead.

Predicting the correct home win, away win or draw without the exact score earns 1 point.

An incorrect result scores 0 points.

A duplicate scores 0 points, regardless of whether the scoreline itself turns out to be correct.

★★ marks an exact score with 5 or more total goals and represents 4 points. ★ marks any other exact score and represents 3 points.

The green tick means the match result was predicted correctly and represents 1 point.

FootballScoreClub scores predictions as the selected fixture results become available.

Yes. The round results show the selected fixtures alongside each player's prediction and the points earned.

The standings show each player's previous points, current round points and overall competition total.

The player with the highest total number of points in the active competition sits top of the standings.

Yes. They enter from their next eligible FootballScoreClub round rather than being inserted midway through a round already in progress.

No. A round's player list and prediction order are preserved once they have been created.

Yes. You complete your current eligible round and are then removed from future rounds when your departure takes effect.

No. Your historical predictions and points remain part of the league's history.

No. An active FootballScoreClub league must maintain at least 2 players.

Yes, but they must transfer ownership to another active league member first.

A full-season competition accumulates points throughout the active football season before the final standings are completed.

A half-season league has two separate competitions. The first half ends at the season midpoint, then the second half begins with points reset to 0.

No. The same private league and membership continue. Only the competition points reset.

The completed competition remains part of the league's history. The league can then continue into a new competition or end according to the league's selected continuation option.
