r/Barca official discord prediction game rules.

Participation: To participate in this game, you have to enter your prediction before the start of each match.

Predictions for the upcoming match will typically become available between 24 and 48 hours before kick-off. Predictions are closed exactly at kick-off time. During that period of time you are free to change and update your prediction as many times as you want.

All prediction scores will be calculated at the end of the match, and will be visible on the leaderboard page as well as on the discord server via the bot commands.

Points: Points are awarded based on the following system:

1 point if you correctly guess the match outcome - win, draw or loss. 3 points if you correctly guess the first scorer. 5 points if you correctly guess the exact result.

For your first scorer prediction, only Barcelona players are available, but you can also choose "none" or "own goal". A good idea is to wait before the starting line-up is announced before choosing your first scorer. It can be found on FC Barcelona's official Twitter account about an hour before kick-off.

Discord bot commands: Type the following commands in any channel:

!predict displays the upcoming match that that is currently open for predictions. !predict "X:X" "First Scorer" to enter your prediction for that match. !predict me displays your personal stats such as total appearances, points per game, correct outcomes, etc. !predict last displays user prediction stats about the latest match. !predict top displays the current top 10 users in the leaderboard. !predict help displays the bot help menu.

Important to note: The game system is pretty simple, but pay attention to the following:

Make sure the score in your prediction matches the home and away teams correctly. For example, if your prediction is Barcelona winning by 3 goals, but they are playing away from home, write !predict "0-3" instead of !predict "3-0". Make sure to surround your result and first scorer predictions with double quotes - "..." Whenever you make a prediction, the bot will respond with the parsed result so you can make sure everything is right. If you need help also feel free to ask people in chat.

Example predictions: !predict "3:0" "Ansu Fati" - Barcelona wins by 3 goals to 0 while playing at home, Ansu Fati is the first scorer. !predict "2:3" "Ansu Fati" - Barcelona wins by 3 goals to 2 while playing away, Ansu Fati is the first scorer.
