Rules: Classic contest |
The rules are as as simple as it gets. The better your predictions, the more points you'll get. The player with the best score wins the Classic contest. The final score is the sum of the points from round predictions and the points from the overall result prediction.
- If two or more players have the same score, the ranking will be determined by the points won with the round predictions: Points from the round predictions weigh more than points from the season/tournament prediction.
- Not all prediction games include an overall result prediction.

|
Rules: Drop Out contest |
| In the so-called Drop Out contest the number of players are reduced bit by bit every round. Each round the players with the fewest points will be eliminated and the remaining players will move on to the next round. The player with the most points in the final round is the winner of this contest. |
The minimum number of players which will be eliminated (Drop Out) is determined in the following way:
- PLAYERS = number of players left
- ROUNDS = number of rounds left to play
- DROPOUT = minimum number of players to get eliminated
- DROPOUT = rounding up ( PLAYERS / ROUNDS )
Some examples:
- PLAYERS = 25
- ROUNDS = 5
- DROPOUT = rounding up ( 25 / 5 ) = 5
- PLAYERS = 10
- ROUNDS = 4
- DROPOUT = rounding up ( 10 / 4 ) = 3
- PLAYERS = 311
- ROUNDS = 19
- DROPOUT = rounding up ( 311 / 19 ) = 17
In case of equal points the number of players which will be eliminated might be higher that the calculated Drop Out.
Example:
| Place | |
Points |
|
| 1 | Player ABC | 25 |
| 2 | Player XYZ | 23 |
| 3 | Player CIA | 22 |
| Player FBI | 22 |
| 5 | Player NSA | 21 |
|
| 6 | Player SRT | 20 | Drop Out | PLAYERS = 10 | ROUNDS = 4 | DROPOUT = rounding up ( 10 / 4 ) = 3
As the players SRT, BBT and HZU all got 20 points all 3 players will be eliminated. In case one of them only got 19 points, the other two players would move on to the next round. |
|
Player BBT | 20 |
|
Player HZU | 20 |
| 9 | Player PTR | 18 |
| 10 | Player NOQ | 17 |
Please notice:
- In some prediction games (mostly football) the Drop Out contest will be staged twice.
- Sometimes the contest winner will be determined before the final Drop Out round.
- New players won't enter an already running Drop Out contest.
