Deadlines

  • Predictions open 7 days before kick-off.
  • Team picks close 65 minutes before kick-off (1:55pm for a 3pm game), just before the club announces the team. If the teams are out earlier, team picks close then.
  • Score guesses close at kick-off, and so does the first Dons scorer. Change them right up to then.

The fine print

  • Cup ties: the final score after extra time counts. Penalty shoot-outs don't.
  • Starters score against who actually started, so a late withdrawal shows as a late change.
  • Own goals never count as the first Dons scorer.
  • Guests play just for fun: their points don't count on any table. Create an account to earn real points and join the season table.
  • League and cups count. Friendlies and test matches don't.
  • Level on points? Most match wins, then most exact scores, then most games played.
  • Miss a match? You just get no points for it. You stay on the table and can catch up next time.
