Frequently Asked Questions

Leaderboards

Got questions about leaderboards, you might find the answers here.

Why can't I see the sweepstake configuration in the leaderboard?

You need at least the same or more players in the league as the pot split. If the league pot split is 3, you will need at least 3 players in the league for the configuration to appear in the leaderboard.

  • You made yourself a private player when you registered
  • Private players do not appear in the overall leaderboard
  • Go to your profile and make yourself a public player
Why is the leaderboard not up-to-date?

Building the leaderboard is not an automatic operation. A leaderboard build is usually done after every game. So if you see that the number of your predictions are not the same as the PL column, don't worry, it will sync during the next build. This is also true for missings players. A build takes about 2 minutes. Keep an eye on the 'Last Updated' date/time value in the footer of the leaderboard.

Final Points by Example

Your predictions shall include extra time. Example: If you predict 2-1, and then after extra time the game finishes 2-1, you will get 3 points.
