FAQ
How does scoring work?
For each match you predict the home goals and the away goals. Points are awarded as follows:
- Correct result (right winner, or correctly tipping a draw): 10 points
- Correct number of home goals: 4 points
- Correct number of away goals: 4 points
- Correct goal difference: 2 points
The maximum for a single match is 20 points — a perfect prediction. For example, if the match ends 2–1 and you predicted 2–1, you score the full 20. If you predicted 3–1, you'd get 14 (correct winner + correct away goals).
Points are based on the score after 90 minutes plus injury time. Extra time and penalties don't count towards scoring.
What happens if two players finish on the same points?
If two players are level on points, the higher place is decided by working through the following, in order, until the tie is broken:
- More predictions made
- More perfect predictions (full 20-point matches)
- More correct results (winner or draw)
- More correct home-goal predictions
- More correct away-goal predictions
- More correct goal differences
- If everything above is identical, the order is decided at random
The same tie-breakers apply to the standings within a group and in the Hall of Fame.
How do I set up a group, and how does it end?
When you create a group you choose which matches it will run on. You can pick individual matches, select whole competitions at once, or mix both — and you can combine matches from as many competitions as you like. A group needs at least 10 matches. If you select a whole tournament, any later stages (like knockout rounds) are added automatically once they're scheduled, so you don't have to keep topping up.
The group runs until all its matches are finished. Whoever has the most points at the end wins and receives a Group Winner trophy on their profile. You can win as many trophies as you like across different groups.
What happens to my prediction if a match is postponed or cancelled?
It depends on what happens to the match:
- Rescheduled to a new time: your prediction stays active. The new kickoff time becomes the new deadline, so you can still adjust it until then.
- Delayed (kicks off late, same day): your prediction is locked at the original kickoff time, as normal — a late kickoff doesn't reopen predictions.
- Cancelled: all predictions for that match are voided and no points are awarded — to anyone. It's as if the match was never part of the game.
When can I see what other players predicted?
You can always see your own predictions. Other players' predictions for a match stay hidden until that match is finished — then everyone's picks for it are revealed alongside the result, so you can compare how you all did. Predictions for cancelled matches stay hidden, since no points were awarded.
How many people can be in a group?
A group can have up to 99 players. When you create a group you're the first member, so you can invite up to 98 others. Groups are built for friends, family and colleagues — big enough for a real competition, small enough to stay personal.
Which competitions can I predict?
CAMPO covers major international and club football — national-team competitions and friendlies, plus domestic leagues, cups, and continental club competitions, for both men's and women's football. Coverage grows over time, so if a competition you're after isn't available yet, it may be added later. If you can't find a particular match, it may be because fixtures for that competition haven't been published yet.
What is the Hall of Fame?
The Hall of Fame is a global leaderboard showing the top 50 players by all-time points — the total you've earned across every group you've ever played in. The top three are featured on a podium. If you're outside the top 50, your own rank and points are still shown at the bottom so you can see where you stand.
Is CAMPO free?
Yes — CAMPO is completely free to play. We plan to introduce optional premium features later, available through a subscription, but the core game will always remain free.
Is CAMPO gambling?
No. CAMPO is a social prediction game you play against friends, family and colleagues for bragging rights — not money. There are no odds, no stakes, and no cash prizes. There's also no prize pot: unlike some informal prediction pools, you don't pay in to play and there's nothing to win financially. If you and your friends want to play for money, that's between you — but it happens entirely outside CAMPO.
