• Captains score double points.
• If your elected captain scores zero his score will remain at zero. If your elected captain scores below zero, his points tally will decrease accordingly.
• If your elected captain does not play any part in the gameweek, his role as captain will not be transferred to another player and your team will be deemed to not have a captain.

In 11-a-side games each team will have 4 substitutes, in 6-a-side games each team will have 2 substitutes. If any player on your team does not play in a competition, then we will automatically replace that player if you have a substitute who plays in the same field position.

Substitutes are only considered to be eligible replacements if they partake in that particular gameweek or set of fixtures.

• Substitutions will be done at regular intervals during the competition.
• Substitutions will be made in order of the gameweek's fixture list as advertised on the site.
• If two of your subs are playing in the same fixture and play in the same field position, the player nearest the left on your substitute bench will be introduced as your substitute.
• Team formations do not change to accommodate substitutions.

Player points will be calculated using data provided to us by Global Sports Media. Global Sports Media are a leading provider of data. Whilst we will take all reasonable steps to deliver accurate data, neither TotelFootball nor Global Sports Media accept any responsibility whatsoever for erroneous data and at no stage will we enter into any correspondence relating to the allocation of player points.

Assists

A player is awarded a goal assist if he makes the last pass before a goal is scored. If an opposing player or the frame of the goal interferes with the flight of the ball, then no assist is given. Thrown passes from outfield players are not considered to be assists. Own goals are always considered to be unassisted.

All assists are reviewed within 24 hours of the game finishing.

Extra Time

In knockout games, players will continue to earn points during extra-time as normal. There will be no additional allocation of points for Clean Sheets; the 90 minute Clean Sheet bonus will remain intact even if a goal is conceded during extra-time. There will be no points allocated during a penalty shoot-out.

If 3 or more players on a team do not play due to one or more matches being cancelled, then the team is declared a non-runner. The stake bet on this team will be refunded to the customer and the pool is reduced in size.

Player	Points
Goalkeeper	3
Defender	4
Midfielder	5
Striker	5

If 1 or 2 players on a team do not play due to one or more matches being cancelled, the team continues within the competition but the players that do not play will be allocated points as follows:

All squad members are allocated appearance points in the event of a cancellation. Abandoned and postponed games will be treated the same as a cancellation.

In the event that 5 or less games are completed in any gameweek, then the total pool will be reduced by the amount of the voided bets refunded to customers. In this scenario there will be no minimum guaranteed pool.

Stake money collected creates a prize pool. 25% of the total prize pool will be retained to cover operational expenses (this reverts to 10% in Private Pools). There may be further deductions to return voided bets to customers in the case of match cancellations. Please be aware that the advertised total prize pool is at all times referred to before any deduction has been made.

Prize Payouts

The top 20% of teams in each game will receive a payout.

The higher your team finishes in the competition, the more points that you will accumulate per €1 you staked on your team.

Position	Points Accumulated
1st	100 points per €1 invested
2nd	30 points per €1 invested
3rd	20 points per €1 invested
4th	15 points per €1 invested
5th - 10th	10 points per €1 invested
11th - 20th	5 points per €1 invested
21st +	2 points per €1 invested

We divide the pool by the total points accumulated by all winning managers in order to calculate the dividend to be paid per point accumulated. Each winning manager will then be paid out the per point dividend x total points accumulated.

For example, a total prize pool is €25,000 with a total of 5,000 points accumulated by all winning managers. This will result in a payout per point of €5.00.

Payout scenarios:

• You finish 1st having invested €3 on team entry, your payout will be €1,500.
• You finish 1st having invested €10 on team entry, your payout will be €5,000.
• You finish 4th having invested €10 on team entry, your payout will be €1,250.
• You finish 8th having invested €50 on team entry, your payout will be €3,500.
