Earn points based
on whether you pick the winning team and how closely you predict the scores of each game.
The specific calculation is carried out in the following
manner:
1. GAME POINTS - Predict the WINNING TEAM
Earn 100 points each time you correctly pick the winning team in a game. This is
calculated based on the scores entered.
2. GAME POINTS - Predict the Scores
There is a maximum of 50 points that can be
earned per game. The points you earn is calculated
by taking the difference in your score compared
to the actual score, and subtracting it from
50.
Points
Example
This table shows the points that are earned
for a variety of score differences. A
score difference is the gap between your
picks and the actual scores.
It is possible to earn any points value
between 0 and 50.

Making Selections
Score predictions for each Round must
be set during the preceding Round. The cut off
time is 7:05pm NZ Time (typically half an hour before the first game of the round), at which time your selections
are locked and can no longer be changed.
During the preceding Round you may change your
score selections as often as you like.
As soon as a Round is locked,
you will be able to make selections for the following
Round's play.
