How to play

The game is played by predicting the results of matches in the Euro Championships. From the main menu screen, choose 'Make Predictions'. You will be presented with a series of fixtures. Simply tap on each fixture in turn, then drag the football slider to choose a score for each team. Tap the upload button in the top right corner to submit your predictions. You can change your predictions at any time up until the deadline.

Make sure you always upload, or your predictions won't be counted!

Rounds and deadlines

The game is split into several rounds. On each round you have the chance to predict the results of every match in the round. The group stage of the Euro Championships is split into 3 rounds, then every knockout stage is a separate round. The round deadlines are given below.

Scoring

Points are allocated for correct predictions. Predicting a score exactly gains 3 points, selecting the correct team to win or correctly predicting a draw gains 1 point.

For example, imagine a match finishes Germany 2 Spain 1. If you said Germany 2 Spain 1 you would gain 3 points. If you said Germany 3 Spain 0 you would gain 1 point. If you said Germany 2 Spain 2 you would gain 0 points.

Points are accumulated for every match predicted and displayed in a league table.

Head-to-heads

Bonus points can be gained by challenging your friends to head-to-head encounters, where you each predict the results of 5 random matches. If you are close to another player, you should both select the Head-to-Head option from the main menu. Follow the on-screen instructions to share your predictions. You can challenge as many people as you like to play Head-to-Head, but can only play each person once per round.

Both players need to have Bluetooth switched on to operate the Head-to-Head.

For each head-to-head encounter you win, you get a bonus 5 points added to your league score.

Round winners: In the event of two or more players being tied on the same number of points, the player with the highest number of Head-to-Head points will be the winner. If players still can't be separated, a winner will be drawn at random.
