Additional Scoring notes

Regular Time: max 45 min for period max 90 min for single match. The injury time is not counted in this parameter.

Minutes Played parameter adds 0.025 points for every minute played in regular time.

Clean Sheet parameter is linked to the number of conceded goals.
Clean Sheet is assigned only if players end their match without conceding goals to the opponent team.
This parameter needs a minimum of 45 minutes played to be assigned.
Therefore, for example, the Clean Sheet bonus will be assigned only if the player's team will end its match without conceding goals and having the player totalized at least 45 minutes played.

Goal Conceded parameter is uniquely assigned to Goalkeepers.
It is calculated considering any kind of goal conceded by the Goalkeeper during the match (simple goal, header goal, own goal), each one determining a negative score of -2.5.
Teams Fouls (11+ Fouls Committed) parameter subtracts 0.25 points (Goalkeepers are exempted) for every foul committed by your player's team during its match from the eleventh onwards. If, for example, You have chosen Salah for your fantasy lineup and Liverpool has committed 14 fouls during its match then 1 point will be subtracted from Salah's final scoring, because his team has committed 4 fouls above the limit of 10 set by Sportito.

Substitute Players

The bench! You can now choose 4 substitutes for your dream team, one for every role (GK,D,MF,F). The substitute player's performance will be counted in the final ranking only if at least one of the players with the same role from the starting lineup (same role during team selection) has not played at least one minute during his match. You can have max one substitute per role. The points of your substitutes will be added to your final ranking at the end of the contest.

Regular time and extra time

Goals, shots, saves and any other statistics that occur during extra time or a penalty shootout do not count towards a player's score.

Position changes during real matches

n the event a player (starter or substitute) changes his position during his real match, he will maintain the same position
on Sportito, but he will accumulate points based on the effective position in which he plays.
In this case users will be notified through a note, in the player's score section.
If, for example, Pedro is labelled as Forward but when Chelsea plays the official match he occupies the position of Midfielder,
he will accumulate points on Sportito as Midfielder : in case of goal 12 points (M) instead of 10 (F).
Users who have picked Pedro in their lineups will see him still marked as Forward, finding a note in Pedro score details specifying the role change occurred.

Game Cancellations and Postponements

In the event that a scheduled game is cancelled, pre-empted, or postponed for any reason, no points will be awarded (0 score) for players embedded in that game or event.
Only in the case the cancelled/pre-empted/postponed event is the only one within the room, all entry fees paid for that contest will be refunded.

Suspended or Shortened Games

Any statistics generated on a later date than when the game is completed will not be included due to the one day nature of our contests.
If a game is shortened and statistics are included that day by Sportradar, those statistics will count.

Roster Deadlines

Contest entry will close five minutes before the start of the first game included in the contest.
You can edit your roster as many times as you like before the contest closing time.
Once games begin, all players on participating teams will lock and can no longer be edited.

Creation of team during cut off time

If a player starts to create his lineup before the contest closing time (limit subscription),
without managing to save the lineup on time, an error message will appear.
No entry fee will be charged to the user.

Interruption during team creation

If a system interruption occurs at the moment the player is creating his lineup, and the system
resumes only after the contest deadline, we have to distinguish between two different cases:

– If the user managed to save a complete lineup before the system interruption, that lineup will be considered his last valid action.

– If the user didn't manage to save a complete lineup before the system interruption,
is like his submission never occurred and no entry fees will be charged.

Event of a Tie

In the event of a tie (two or more users realize exactly the same score),
a further parameter will be considered to determine the winner: Lineup submission time.
The player who submitted his team first will be declared the winner.
This rule is valid also in case of a tie with 0 or negative score.

Other Rules

There will be no trading of players, no extra moves and no replacing injured players.

If your team ends a contest with an aggregate score equal to 0 or negative, you are still eligible to win prizes.
