# Our football prediction league rules

## 1. Who can take part

This is a private football prediction league for friends and invited guests. Participation is by invitation and these rules apply equally to every player.

## 2. Gameweek format

Each gameweek normally contains 10 fixtures. The organiser will publish the included fixtures and the entry deadline in ScoreSocial before entries open.

## 3. Predictions and scoring

Players choose home win, draw or away win for each fixture. Each correct result earns 1 point.

Each entry may contain no more than 10 home-win selections, 10 draw selections and 10 away-win selections.

Points and any weekly rank bonuses are calculated from the scoring configuration displayed in ScoreSocial. The published configuration takes priority if this copied summary and the live league ever differ.

## 4. Entry deadline

A complete entry must be submitted before the published deadline. Players may edit a submitted entry until that deadline. Late or incomplete entries do not count.

## 5. Number of entries

Each player may submit one entry per gameweek.

## 6. Missed gameweeks

A player who does not submit a valid entry receives no points for that gameweek. The same rule applies to every player; informal late-entry exceptions are not allowed.

## 7. Postponed, abandoned or rescheduled fixtures

Fixtures are scored from the final status recorded in ScoreSocial. Voided fixtures do not score. The organiser will communicate any material fixture change to the group and will not invent a separate result outside the platform.

## 8. Ties

If weekly scores are level, the first tie-break is most correct draws. Any remaining tie follows the league table order shown in ScoreSocial.

## 9. Paper entries

Predictions must be submitted in ScoreSocial. Paper, message or verbal entries are not accepted.

## 10. Conduct, privacy and organiser decisions

Keep discussion respectful and keep member details, predictions and standings within the intended group unless the people concerned consent to wider sharing. This league is for social prediction, not betting or paid-entry competition.

The organiser may correct genuine data or entry-recording errors. Any correction must be factual, consistent with these rules and communicated to affected players. ScoreSocial's organiser terms and acceptable use policy also apply.

Why clear rules keep a league alive

Most organiser disputes are predictable: a late entry, an unclear scoring example, a postponed match or a tie nobody planned for. Publishing one short rules page before the first gameweek removes ambiguity and gives every player the same answer.

This builder creates a practical starting point, not a separate scoring engine. The live configuration shown inside your league remains the source of truth.

Rules generator questions

What should football prediction league rules include?

State who can enter, which fixtures count, the prediction and scoring method, the entry deadline, how missed weeks and fixture changes work, the tie-break and who can make organiser corrections.

What happens when a player misses a gameweek?

A consistent no-entry and no-points rule is usually clearest. Publish it before the season and apply it equally instead of allowing informal late exceptions.

Can I edit the generated rules?

Yes. Copy the generated text and tailor the group-specific wording, but keep scoring and entry details aligned with the settings players can see in the league.
