Prediction
A contest does not have a fixed matches list for predictions. You are allowed to make predictions on all available matches. The only limitation is the number of matches you can predict.
There are 4 types of predictions: score, outcome (home team win, draw, or away team win), total (over 2.5 goals or under 2.5 goals), and both teams to score (yes or no).
On each game day, the available number of predictions is evenly distributed across each prediction type. For example, if there are 8 predictions available, you can make 2 score predictions, 2 outcome predictions, 2 total predictions, and 2 both teams to score predictions.
Cup Format
Each cup consists of 2 parts
- Qualification. Duration - 3 days. Each day, you can make 8 predictions on any matches from the schedule. Unused predictions DO NOT carry over to the next days. The top 32 players qualify for the playoffs.
- Playoffs. Starts from the 1/16 final stage. The duration of each stage (1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and final) is 1 day. You can make 12 predictions. The winner of the match advances to the next stage.

Regulations
Sport Contest Cup Season 1 consists of 3 qualifying stages and a final stage.
Anyone can participate in the qualifying stages.
The top 16 players from the qualifiers advance to the final stage:
- 12 players - from the top 4 players of each stage (1/2 final participants). If a player qualifies for the top 4 multiple times, additional spots in the final stage go to the best in qualification by points.
- 4 players - with the highest total points across all 3 stages. All predictions count towards the points, even if a player gets eliminated but continues making predictions.
