Score predictions for football and other sports

In the Score game, fans guess the result of one or more matches before kick-off. When the matches have been played, you enter the real results, Scratcher gives points for correct guesses, and you draw the winners.

Set up a prediction game step by step

1. Add the Score game to a page.
2. On the Content tab, under Teams, click Add team. Give the team a Name and a Logo. Repeat for every team.
3. Under Matches, click Add match. Choose Team one and Team two. You can add an Internal name (not required).
4. Set the Submission deadline:
   • Single deadline: one Deadline for all matches. Choose the Page to show when past deadline.
   • Deadline per match: each match gets its own deadline. Matches past their deadline are greyed out with the Inactive match overlay color.
5. Choose the Action after submit: the page fans see after sending their guesses.
6. Turn on the Leaderboard add-on and set the points: Correct result points for the exact score, and Correct winner/tie points for the right winner or a draw.
7. Add a form, so you know who guessed what.
8. Add a draw prize. See Draw winners.

Styles

On the Styles tab: the Gap between matches, the Inactive match overlay color, the teams (Team size, Team name color and Logo size) and the score fields (Input size, Input background, Input text, Input placeholder, Input border and Input shape).

Enter the results

1. When a match has been played, open the campaign's Game data tab.
2. Under Match results, type the score for Team one and Team two.
3. Click Save. Fans with a correct guess get their points.

The Game data tab also shows how fans guessed each match (Match result guesses).

Good to know: Check the result before you click Save. Points for a match are given once. If you save a wrong result and correct it later, points that were already given don't change.

Rank fans and draw the winners

• Add a leaderboard with the Measured attribute Points, the Score game under Games, and Sum values (instead of using max value) turned on, so points from all matches add up.
• To draw winners, open the campaign's Prizes tab. Under Draw prizes, click View details on the prize. After the deadline, set Find number of winners: and Minimum correct answers:, click Check to see the Potential winners:, and click Draw winner.

Common problems

• Fans can't submit. The deadline has passed. Check the Deadline (or each match's deadline) and its time.
• The draw is greyed out. You can draw only after the deadline. Before that, you see "The game is open for participants until …".
• "Not enough potential winners." Lower the Minimum correct answers: or the number of winners.
• Nobody gets points. Enter and save the results on the Game data tab, and check that the Leaderboard add-on has points set.
• A fan is missing from the leaderboard. Only fans who filled in the form are counted.
