Rules and Scoring

Kisatietäjä always uses the score at the end of regular time. Overtime and shootouts do not change the correct result.

How to Play

  1. Sign in with your email. New users choose a nickname after their first magic-link login.
  2. Enter goal counts directly into the upcoming-game fields.
  3. You can change a prediction until 5 minutes before the game starts.
  4. Playoff games open for predictions once the matchups are known.

How Points Are Calculated

Exact regular-time score: 50 points.

If the score is not exact, the correct regular-time outcome gives 20 points.

You also get up to 15 goal points, reduced by each missed home-team and away-team goal.

For example, if the correct score is 4-5 and your prediction is 3-4, two points are deducted from the goal points.

Result Updates

Match scores update to the service within around 15 minutes of games ending. Schedule changes keep already saved predictions in place.

Playoffs

Playoff predictions open only once the teams are known.
