Schedule fixtures and settle predictions

Fixtures are matches: team against team, player against player, or a side you name yourself (“Winner of semi 1”). Participants can predict the result until kickoff, and publishing the result settles everyone’s predictions and awards their points.

Who can do this: Org admins add and remove fixtures. Score keepers mark fixtures live and publish results.

Where: Event → Content → Fixtures

Fixtures need the Competitions switch on in Modules.

Add a fixture

1. Click Add fixture.
2. Fill in New fixture:
   • Sport, for example “Cricket”.
   • Venue (optional).
   • Kickoff, in the event’s time zone. Predictions close at kickoff, or earlier if you click Mark live.
   • Home and Away: for each side choose Team (pick a team), Player (search for a participant) or Name it (type a name, up to 100 characters).
3. Click Schedule.

A side can’t play itself.

Run the match

Each fixture shows its status: Scheduled, Live, Final or Cancelled.

1. When play starts, click Mark live (optional).
2. When it ends, type the Home and Away scores.
3. Click Publish result. The score is saved, the fixture becomes Final, and predictions are settled: “Result published and predictions settled.”

How predictions score

When a fixture is settled, each prediction earns:

• 10 points for the right winner (or a draw).
• 25 more points for the exact score.

Correct a result

Change the scores on a Final fixture and click Re-settle. Re-settling re-scores every prediction without awarding twice.

Remove fixtures

Click Remove on a fixture and confirm, or tick several and remove them together. Predictions already made are kept.
