🎯 How Shotcall Works

• Shotcall is a social prediction game for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
• No real money is exchanged on the platform. It is purely for fun and bragging rights.
• Create or join groups with your friends using invite codes, links, or QR codes.
• Predict match scores before they happen and earn points based on accuracy.
• Climb the leaderboard and earn badges for your achievements.

For every match, you predict the score at the end of 90 minutes (regular time). Use the + and - buttons to set your predicted score for each team.

Knockout Stage Special Rules:

• If you predict a draw in a knockout match, you must also predict what happens next:
• Will a team win in extra time? If so, predict the extra-time score.
• Or will it go to penalties? If so, pick which team wins.
• This gives you a chance to earn the Advance Bonus (+1 point) if you correctly predict who advances.

💡 Note:Group admins can customize all point values. The values above are the defaults. Any changes are logged in the group's Transparency Feed.

• Pick the Champion, Runner-up, Third Place, and the two Finalists before the tournament.
• You can change your picks at any time before the tournament starts, but only your latest picks count.
• The earlier you pick correctly, the more points you earn. Points decrease as the tournament progresses.
• Runner-up, Third Place, and Finalists picks earn points only up to and including the Round of 16. After R16, only the Champion pick has points, and only until the Quarter Finals. From the Semi Finals onward, no tournament predictions earn any points.
• For the Finalists prediction, both teams must be correct (order does not matter). For Runner-up and Third Place, order matters.

💡 Note: Group admins can customize all point values. The values above are the defaults.

• Standard Lock: Predictions close at kickoff.
• You can edit your prediction as many times as you want before lockout.
• If you forget to predict, you simply get 0 points for that match. No penalty.
• Nobody can see your prediction before lockout. Not even admins. After lockout, all predictions in your group become visible.

• If enabled by your group admin, you can submit a prediction up to 5 minutes after kickoff.
• This only works if the score is still 0-0.
• Late Tax: Any points earned on a grace-period prediction incur a -2 point penalty.
• Example: Exact Score would give 5 - 2 = 3 points instead of 5.
• After 5 minutes, only the group admin can manually enter a prediction (if score is still 0-0).

• Anyone can create a group. Groups can have up to 500 members.
• Share your group via invite code, link, or QR code.
• You can be in multiple groups at the same time.
• Groups can have multiple admins. Admins can promote members or transfer ownership.
• If you leave a group, you can choose to keep or delete your points.
• Admins can kick members from the group.

• Every admin action is logged in the Transparency Feed visible to all group members.
• This includes: manual prediction entries, point value changes, score overrides, and member kicks.
• Match scores are fetched automatically from the official API. Admins can override only if the API has errors.
