Premier League Table Predictor – Rules and How to Play

How to Play

1. Predict the final outcome of the Premier League by placing all 20 teams in the positions where you believe they will finish.
2. All 20 Premier League teams must be included, and each team may only be selected once.
3. A completed prediction must be submitted before the published entry deadline.
4. Entry costs £1. Payment must be successfully completed before an entry is accepted.
5. Only one entry is permitted per person. Multiple accounts or entries submitted by the same person will not be accepted.
6. Once an entry has been submitted and payment has been completed, the prediction cannot be changed unless ScoreCast24 expressly states otherwise.

Eligibility

• Entry is open to people aged 16 or over.
• Entrants must provide accurate registration and contact information.
• ScoreCast24 may request reasonable proof of identity, age or eligibility before awarding a prize.
• Employees, contractors and anyone directly involved in operating the competition may not enter.
• Winners will be contacted by email within 7 days.

Skill-Based Competition

ScoreCast24 operates skill-based prediction games that require entrants to use their football knowledge, judgement and assessment of likely outcomes.

Winners are determined by the accuracy of their submitted Premier League table prediction and not by a random draw.

Weekly Premier League Table

• The Premier League table used by ScoreCast24 will normally be updated once each week.
• For the purpose of determining a weekly prize, the official table will be recorded after all Premier League matches included in that week's scheduled round have been completed.
• Temporary changes caused by an earlier kick-off will not count. For example, a team moving into first place for several hours before the remaining matches are played will not create a winning entry.
• If a match is postponed, abandoned or moved outside the scheduled round, ScoreCast24 may delay that week's table assessment until the relevant matches have been completed, or use the table after the last match actually played during that round. The method used will be applied consistently to all entrants.
• The table published by the Premier League will be treated as the official table. Any later corrections, points deductions or official decisions will be applied when confirmed by the relevant football authority.

Weekly £500 Prizes

• A weekly prize of £500 will be awarded when an entrant's complete 20-team prediction exactly matches the official Premier League table at the weekly assessment point.
• If more than one eligible entrant has an exact match during the same weekly assessment, the £500 weekly prize will be divided between winners.
• A temporary exact match occurring before all relevant matches have finished will not qualify.
• No weekly prize will be awarded for a week in which there is no complete exact match.

£100,000 Final Prize

• The £100,000 final prize will be awarded to an eligible entrant whose complete prediction exactly matches the official final Premier League table after the season has concluded.
• The final table will be confirmed after all Premier League fixtures have been completed and any official points adjustments affecting the final standings have been resolved.
• If more than one eligible entrant correctly predicts the complete final table, the £100,000 prize will be divided equally between those winning entrants.
• No final prize will be awarded if no eligible entrant correctly predicts all 20 final positions.

Winner Verification and Payment

• Potential winners will be contacted using the email address registered with their ScoreCast24 account.
• A potential winner must respond and provide any reasonably requested verification information within 14 days of being contacted.
• Prizes will be paid using a payment method agreed between ScoreCast24 and the verified winner.
• Entrants are responsible for ensuring that their registered contact details remain correct and accessible.
• ScoreCast24 may withhold or refuse a prize where an entry is fraudulent, duplicated, automated, manipulated or otherwise contrary to these rules.

General Rules

• Predictions must be submitted through the official ScoreCast24 website. Screenshots, emails, messages and incomplete submissions will not be accepted as entries.
• The submission time recorded by ScoreCast24's system will be treated as the official entry time.
• ScoreCast24 is not responsible for entries that are late, incomplete or not received because of internet, device, payment-provider or other technical problems outside its reasonable control.
• ScoreCast24 reserves the right to investigate suspected abuse and to disqualify entries that breach these rules.
• ScoreCast24 will not change the material rules, prize amounts or method of determining winners after paid entries have opened except where necessary because of circumstances outside its reasonable control or to comply with the law.
• If the competition cannot proceed as advertised, entrants will be informed and any refund entitlement will be handled in accordance with the Terms and Conditions and applicable consumer law.
• ScoreCast24's decision concerning the administration of the competition, verification of entries and application of these rules is final, subject to applicable law.
• Entry into the competition confirms acceptance of these rules, the ScoreCast24 Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy.
