Scoring System
- Exact score prediction: 7 points

- Wrong result and score: 0 points
Example Scoring
💡
Example Scoring
You predict Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal. Actual result: Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal = 7 points (exact score). If actual was Chelsea 3-0 Arsenal = 3 points (correct result, wrong score). If actual was Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal = 1 point (Wrong result, but only off by 1 goal). If actual was Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea = 0 points (wrong result).
Tie-Breaker Examples
💡
Tie-Breaker Examples
Scenario: Two users both have 30 points and 2 exact score predictions each.
Tie-breaker 1: Exact Scores - Both have 2 exact scores, so we move to tie-breaker 2.
Tie-breaker 2: Goal Difference - Total goals predicted vs actual goals. Match: Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal (3 total goals).
User A predicts: Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal (4 total goals) → 4 minus 3 = 1 goal difference
User B predicts: Chelsea 4-0 Arsenal (4 total goals) → 4 minus 3 = 1 goal difference
Both have difference of 1, so earliest entry wins (tie-breaker 3).
Cancelled/Postponed Matches
- Cancelled matches are excluded from scoring - you receive 0 points (not penalized)
- Winners determined by highest points from remaining matches
- For full cancellation policy, see Terms & Conditions

Prediction 3-15 vs 1-08 = 1 point (Dublin wins, but wrong scores). Prediction 1-08 vs 2-14 = 0 points (predicted Kerry win, Dublin won).
Tie-Breaker Examples
💡
Tie-Breaker Examples

Consolation Goal (Optional)

- Creates a 'Consolation Goal' award distinct from the main 'Perfect Striker' jackpot
- Ensures there's still an exciting winner even in difficult rounds
Example Scenario
💡
Example Scenario
A Perfect 8 competition with 8 matches selected. You choose 8 matches and predict Win/Draw/Win for each. If all 8 of your predictions are correct, you win! If 3 people get all 8 correct, you each get 1/3 of the prize. If no one gets all 8 correct and Consolation Goal is enabled: the person with the most correct predictions wins the consolation prize. If multiple people tie for most correct, tie-breaker score is compared (Home Win=1, Away Win=2, Draw=3). If still tied, earliest entry wins.
Important Notes
Important Notes
- Perfect Strike is all-or-nothing: you must get ALL predictions correct to win the jackpot
- Multiple perfect winners share the jackpot equally - no tie-breaker for perfect scores
- Consolation Goal uses tie-breaker score, then entry time - ensures fair winner selection
- Unlike points-based competitions, one wrong prediction means you don't win the jackpot
Cancelled/Postponed Matches
- If matches are cancelled, the required predictions are reduced
- Example: Perfect 8 with 1 cancelled match becomes Perfect 7
- Winners need all remaining predictions correct
