Every nation can win, too

Once the competition reaches 10,000 players (the Silver tier), the top 3 of every individual country's table win prizes — so you don't have to top the global board to walk away with something. Scout a single nation brilliantly and you could top its table.


The rules in detail

Last updated: 19 June 2026

It's a game of skill

Each round, players are ranked by their scout rating — how close their starting eleven gets to the best possible XI from the players they were dealt. Because the rating is measured against the achievable best, the random draw doesn't decide it; skill and football knowledge do. This is a prize competition of skill, not a lottery or gambling.

No purchase necessary

You never have to pay to enter or to win. Everyone gets a free go at every nation, so you can climb the table and take a prize on your free attempts alone — by scouting well across all your nations. Credits are an optional way to replay a nation and try to better your score there; they are never required to compete or win.

Rounds

The leaderboard runs in rounds. The World Cup 2026 round runs for the tournament and closes on 19 July 2026. Future editions run in their own rounds (e.g. monthly). When a round closes, standings are frozen and archived — you can always review past rounds.

Who qualifies

To appear on the round's table and be eligible, an account must complete the round's minimum number of nations and have a username set.

Prize tiers

Prizes are non-cash (e.g. merchandise and tech) and scale with the number of qualifying players in the round:

  • up to 1,000 players — Bronze
  • up to 10,000 — Silver
  • up to 100,000 — Gold
  • 1,000,000+ — Platinum

The global top 3 win the round's prize pool. From the Silver tier upwards, the top 3 of each nation's table also receive 5 credits to use in the next round. Exact prize contents are announced before a round closes and may be substituted for an item of equal or greater value.

Winners

Winners are determined by final standings at round close and contacted by email at the address on their account. Prizes are fulfilled off-platform; we may verify eligibility before awarding. Where a winner can't be contacted or verified within a reasonable time, we may award the next-ranked eligible player.

Eligibility & general

  • You must meet the age and account terms in our Terms of Service.
  • One account per person; cheating, automation, or manipulation disqualifies.
  • Prizes are non-transferable and have no cash alternative unless stated.
  • We may amend these rules or a round; material changes will be posted here.
