How Punditz works
Predict scorelines, earn points when you're right, and climb your league table. Here's exactly how it works.
The basics
Pick the exact scoreline for each match in a round before it kicks off. When the match finishes, your prediction is scored against the real result — and the points stack up across the season into your league table.
How points work
Football
- Exact score+3
- Correct result (win, draw or loss)+1
- Wrong result0
Basketball
- Correct winner+2
- Margin within 5 points of the real one+2
- Exact final score+1
Each sport has its own scoring, tuned to how it's played. More sports are on the way.
Rounds & deadlines
Matches are grouped into rounds (matchdays). Every prediction in a round locks at its deadline — the kickoff of the round's earliest match, FPL-style. After that the round is read-only: no late edits.
Leagues
Create a private league for any competition and share its join code with friends. Everyone predicts the same fixtures, and the table ranks you by total points.
Prize leagues
A league owner can attach a prize. Today prizes are sponsored — the creator funds the pool and members join free. When the competition ends, the pool is paid out by the chosen rule: winner takes all, or a 50/30/20 split across the top three.
Prize payments currently use a test provider — no real money changes hands yet. Real payments are coming, subject to local rules.
