Pick Your Teams. Wisely.
One tournament, two stages: an 8-matchday league phase, then a genuine knockout to the final. Here's exactly how picking, scoring, and progressing actually works.
3 Picks in the League Phase, 1 in the Knockouts
Every league phase matchday, pick 3 teams you think will win — more picks, more jeopardy, and it burns through your pool faster. Once the knockouts begin, it drops to 1 pick per round, since the real competition itself only has a handful of teams left by then.
Once Used, It's Gone
The core rule: a team can only ever be picked once across the entire tournament. Pick Real Madrid in Matchday 2, and they're unavailable to you for every round after — plan ahead.
Survive the League Phase, Then Knock Out
Score points across all 8 league-phase matchdays, then carry straight on picking through the Round of 16, Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and Final — same rule, same team-reuse restriction, all the way to Madrid.
Your Wallet Is a Running Tab
There's no card checkout on this site. Entering a paid tournament simply adds the entry fee to what you owe — think of it as a tab that builds up as you play.
What Happens Each Round
League Phase
- 36 teams, one single table — no traditional groups.
- Pick 3 teams to win, each matchday — 24 picks total across the league phase.
- 3 points for every correct pick.
- Top 8 in the real table go straight to the Round of 16 — 9th to 24th enter a real playoff for the remaining spots.
The Bracket Begins
- One pick, one match — no score prediction needed yet.
- 6 points for correctly picking the winner.
- Same rule applies: if you've already used a team in the league phase, it's still off-limits here.
Score Predictions Kick In
- 8 points for a correct Quarter-Final pick, 10 points for a correct Semi-Final pick.
- From here on, you also predict the exact scoreline alongside your team pick.
- Get the winner and the exact score right for a genuine bonus on top — half the round's base points, added on.
One Last Pick
- 15 points for correctly picking the winner — the single biggest score in the tournament.
- Score prediction required, same bonus rule as the Quarter and Semi-Finals.
- Whoever's sitting top of the leaderboard once the final whistle blows in Madrid takes the top prize.
