Points Are Bad Turns Football Prediction Upside Down

A multiplayer Premier League prediction game where the closest score earns the fewest points—and zero is the perfect result.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

The game converts exact-score football predictions into an error-minimization contest: a 2–1 prediction against a 3–1 result earns one point, while a perfect prediction earns zero. The homepage describes rounds covering up to two Premier League matches, with groups combining into leagues. A balancing rule gives the last-place player the right to choose the next matches, and the visible sample leaderboard includes a participant called “The Bot (1-1).”
