Dear friends of ITALY community,
Welcome to the ninth and penultimate week of the contest
🏆 ITALYGAME CUPTM 🏆
a ten-week tournament based on predictions for the Italian football league Serie A (or other football tournaments).
The game is divided into two: on the one hand, the weekly competition with its prizes, whose participation is free, and on the other hand, the pathways (Play-off and Secondary Trophy) leading to the final prizes, reserved for qualified users during the previous episodes.
| 👨🏫👩🏫 HOW DOES THE GAME WORK? 👩🏫👨🏫 |
|---|
Each week, six matches from the Italian football league Serie A (or other football tournaments) will be selected. The participants' task will be to indicate (in the comments) for each match which team will score more goals than their direct opponent, and by how much, or if the two teams will score the same number of goals.
Each correctly predicted result will score three points. Predictions that are wrong by only one goal (either more or less) will score one point, while all other predictions will score zero points.
😀 It is possible to take part in the weekly contest in any week, even if you did not participate in the previous episodes.
🌍 Help your country win the 'Olympics'!
✍✍ EXAMPLE ✍✍
During the 25th round of Serie A, among others, the following matches were played (with the results in parentheses):
- Napoli-Lazio (0-1)
- Atalanta-Udinese (0-0)
- Inter-Lecce (2-0)
The exact predictions for these three matches, which would score three points for each, would be:
- Lazio +1
- ND (no difference)
- Inter +2
If the prediction was wrong by only one goal, each match would score one point, as shown in the following example:
- Lazio +2 or ND
- Atalanta +1 or Udinese +1
- Inter +1 or Inter +3
Other predictions that are wrong by a difference of more than one goal would not score any points, as shown in the following example:
- Lazio +3, Lazio +4, Napoli +1, Napoli +2...
- Atalanta +2, Atalanta +3, Udinese +2, Udinese +3...
- ND, Inter +4, Lecce +1, Lecce +2...
Every week, the three users who achieve the highest scores will be set as beneficiaries of the post with the contest results, with the following percentages:
- 1st place - 40%
- 2nd place - 20%
- 3rd place - 10%

Last week's award winners
In case of two or more equal scores, the user who guessed the highest number of correct predictions will be awarded, followed by the one who entered their predictions first.
Speed becomes an important factor in the game, and therefore editing one's own comment will not be allowed, an event that could result in exclusion of the weekly prediction from the game or the loss of acquired temporal priority.
To discover the rankings and events of the last week (individuals and by nations), read the eighth issue of the ITALYGAME CUP JOURNAL, official weekly digital magazine of the contest.

Hello @frafiomatale, sorry to ask Pls I want to to know when and how will the weekly rewards be distributed because I haven't recieved mine yet.
Which reward are you talking about? You are not among the weekly winners!
Sorry, not for this week, but for the week I won and the other one I came out second.
Here are your rewards. Next time could you please check better before making claims? Thank you! 😉👍
Sorry but I was not making any claims, I'm only trying to know how it works cause I thought the prize will be at the end of the whole contest.
Ok, no problem, but writing
If it is not a complaint, looks a lot like it.
Also because it's not your first claim for which it would have been appropriate to check better, and I thought you were trying to make fun of me.
See you!
