Weekly competitions

How weekly competitions work

Every week, from Monday 12:00 AM to Sunday 11:59 PM (CEMAC time), we launch a new themed competition.

The principle is simple:

• For 7 days, we track who predicts best on a given theme.
• At the end of the week, the best are rewarded.
• A new competition starts the following Monday with another theme.

Who it's good for:

• You want short, engaging challenges.
• You don't feel like committing to a 3-month seasonal tournament.
• You want to test your form on varied themes.
• You want to collect weekly badges easily.

The weekly themes

Themes change every week and are announced on Monday morning by push notification.

A few examples of typical themes:

• "Africa Cup this week": predict the AFCON matches taking place during the week.
• "Ongoing elections": predict the results of national elections being held.
• "Crypto on the move": predict significant swings in the major cryptos.
• "Apple tech announcement": predict the details of the next Apple event.
• "French Ligue 1": predict all the weekend's Ligue 1 matches.

Themes can be:

• Tied to an event of the week (a big match, an announcement).
• Tied to a general theme (all of crypto, all of politics).
• Surprises (every month, we do a "surprise theme" week).

How to take part

Step 1 - Automatic entry.
You have nothing to do to enter. As soon as you predict an event matching the week's theme, you're automatically entered into the weekly competition.

Step 2 - View the dedicated leaderboard.
During the week, go to Competitions → This week. You see the leaderboard specific to the ongoing competition, with your rank.

Step 3 - Predict as many theme-related events as possible.
The more theme events you predict (and correctly), the more points you score. It's cumulative over the week.

Step 4 - See the result the following Monday.
On Monday morning, the week's final leaderboard is locked. Rewards are distributed automatically.
