E: 19/05 Win Tech & Cash Prizes in Sun Season Score Predictor
url: https://www.dreamteamfc.com/score-predictor/
SECTION 2.1 DESCRIPTION
In our Season Score Predictor, Entrants are invited to forecast the scores of up to five (5) matches each Matchweek.
The season-long version of the game runs during the Regular Season, but chosen fixtures can also include games from other domestic and international tournaments.
Points are awarded for correctly predicting all of the following: a correct score, the outcome (home win, away win or draw), the number of goals scored by each team and the difference between the two team’s scores.
The main prizes are awarded to the Entrants who finish the season in the top three of the Score Predictor Leaderboard by accumulating the most points. There are also weekly prizes.
Entrants also compete in club and national Score Predictor Leaderboards, and can opt to join or create mini leagues to play against family, friends and colleagues.
SECTION 2.2: HOW TO PLAY AND RULES
2.2.1 How to play
Season Score Predictor is available to play on the Website and Apps.
In order to submit an entry in Season Score Predictor in 2023/24 you must be registered for The Sun Dream Team 2023/24.
To be eligible for prizes, you must meet the criteria set out at Section 2.1 of the General Terms & Conditions [INSERT LINK]
2.2.2 How to Predict
Entrants must enter a score prediction for up to five (5) upcoming matches in a Matchweek.
Entrants are able to make a prediction for a fixture by clicking in the score field of the fixture card and entering their predicted score. Alternatively, Entrants can enter a score for each team, from 0-9. When they have entered a score for the home team, the cursor automatically moves to the away team.
Entrants have the option to auto-pick/auto-fill the results for all fixtures in the Matchweek, or the remaining fixtures they’ve not entered a scoreline for.
Before an entry can be submitted, a prediction must be made for ALL Featured Matches in the Matchweek. Your predictions for a Matchweek will not be valid unless you have entered a prediction for every Featured Match at the same time. You may alter any of your predictions for any Featured Match prior to the kick-off time for that Featured Match.
2.2.3 Matchweeks and Featured Matches
The Season Score Predictor is split into a series of Matchweeks.
Each Matchweek consists of up to 5 Featured Matches chosen by the Promoter.
Featured Matches will predominantly be English Premier League games, but from time to time may include games from the other competitions including the FA Cup and international fixtures.
A Matchweek commences when the first Featured Match is scheduled to kick-off and ends when the final Featured Match has concluded.
A new Matchweek opens for entries when the first match of the previous Matchweek has started.
2.2.4 Season duration
The Season Score Predictor competition will run for the duration of the Regular Season, starting on 11 August 2023 and ending on 19 May 2024.
2.2.5 Scoring
2.2.5.1 Earning Points
Points are awarded based on predictions made for each fixture.
Only normal time (i.e., 90 minutes and any relevant injury time) is counted. Extra-time periods and penalties are not included.
2.2.5.2 Points
Points are awarded for the following:
| Correct Score Bonus | +3 |
| Correct Outcome | +4 |
| Home Goals | +1 |
| Away Goals | +1 |
| Score Difference | +1 |
All points are cumulative, meaning the maximum an Entrant can gain for each fixture is 10 points
2.2.5.3 Points explained
Correct Score Bonus - If an exact score is predicted, the Entrant will earn a maximum 10pts - i.e. 7 points from all the categories below plus this additional 3 point bonus.
Correct Outcome - 4 points are awarded if the correct match outcome is predicted (home win, away win or draw). For example, a 1-0 prediction would earn the Entrant this bonus for any score which gives the home team a win.
Home Goals - 1 point is awarded if the Entrant predicts the correct number of goals scored by the home team.
Away Goals - 1 point is awarded if the Entrant predicts the correct number of goals scored by the away team.
Score Difference - 1 point is awarded if the Entrant correctly predicts the difference between the number goals scored by the home and away teams. For example, a 3-1 prediction (a difference of two) would earn this bonus if the final score is 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc. Please note that the difference must be in the correct ‘direction’ so, in the previous example, 0-2 would not earn points.
2.2.6 Leaderboards and Leagues
Entrants competing in Season Score Predictor appear in the Score Predictor Leaderboard, Club and National Leagues and optional Mini Leagues.
Unlike the Fantasy Game, Entrants are listed using their Name, not by a team name.
2.2.6.1 Leaderboard
Every Entrant is automatically entered into the overall Score Predictor Leaderboard, which runs throughout the Score Predictor Season.
The Score Predictor Leaderboard shows weekly scores and the cumulative season scores.
See 2.3 for information on the associated prize competitions.
2.2.6.2 Club and National leagues
Every Entrant is automatically entered into a ‘Club League’ and a ‘National League’, based on the Favourite Club and Country of Residence that was declared during the registration process.
It is not possible to switch from one Club League to another Club League or from one National league to another National League during the Fantasy Season.
The Promoter offers no prizes for Club or National Leagues.

End date is based on kick off of the first match of the season to give those who comp by date a chance to enter before the season starts. I'll change the date to the season's end on or about August 11th.

Clicking on the link in the first post should take you straight to the Score Predictor game. Logging in and then clicking on 'Leagues' just below 'Score Predictor' at the top of the screen should bring up a section marked 'JOIN/CREATE A LEAGUE' on the right hand side of the screen. All you have to do then is click just below that, where it says 'join league', and enter the PIN.Iggy1313 said:How do I join the mini league please?
