How we score
Five steps, 5,000 points a round, no timer. The points sit where looking it up won’t help: finding the ground and remembering the moment.

Every round: these three
Region
up to 500Tap the region of England or Wales where the match was played. A neighbouring region still earns something.
| If it was the North East and you tap… | Points |
|---|---|
| North East | 500 |
| Yorkshire (next door) | 200 |
| London | 0 |
Pin
up to 1,500Drop a pin on the ground itself. It's worth the most: within 1 km is full marks, then points fall away the further out you are.
| Your pin lands… | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 km away | 1,500 |
| 5 km away | 1,404 |
| 10 km away | 1,292 |
| 25 km away | 1,005 |
| 50 km away | 663 |
| 100 km away | 288 |
Score
up to 500Set the full-time score. Worth less than the rest, because it's the easiest thing to look up.
| If it finished 5–0 and you say… | Points |
|---|---|
| 5–0 (exact) | 500 |
| 6–1 (right margin) | 300 |
| 2–0 (right result) | 150 |
| 1–1 | 0 |
Then two memory steps from these
Goal spot
up to 1,250Tap the pitch where the goal was scored from. Within 1.5 m is full marks, then it falls away with every metre.
| Your tap lands… | Points |
|---|---|
| 1.5 m from the spot | 1,250 |
| 5 m from the spot | 881 |
| 10 m from the spot | 534 |
| 20 m from the spot | 196 |
Pick one
up to 1,250Choose the shirt, the scorer or the moment from three or four options. Right or nothing.
| You pick… | Points |
|---|---|
| The right one | 1,250 |
| Any other | 0 |
Slider
up to 1,250Slide to a number: the crowd, the minute of a goal, a league position. The closer you are, the more you score.
| If the crowd was 36,000 and you say… | Points |
|---|---|
| 36,000 | 1,250 |
| 34,000 | 973 |
| 31,000 | 555 |
| 27,000 | 0 |
Your squares
- 80% of the step’s points or more: nailed it
- Something, but under 80%: close
- Nothing: missed
They’re what you share: the squares and your total, never the match.
