Each Matchday you can assign one prediction to be your joker. A correct joker prediction will result in the points awarded for that prediction being doubled. You can change your joker at any time until the kick-off of your joker fixture.
Each player competes and is automatically entered in a number of leagues. These are:
You can be in up to 10 private leagues. Points are awarded after each game as explained in the scoring section.

Players joining before Matchday 1 will be placed in a tournament league which follows the real UEFA Euro 2008™ structure.
The 16 players will be broken into four groups of four and each Matchday play a match against another team in the group, with a match result based on game scores. The top two in each group will qualify for the quarter final, with knock-out matches progressing through to the league final. The eight non qualifiers will play a consolation knock-out stage.
Players entering after Matchday 1 will be entered in a standard league with other game players.
Each league is run on a phase and overall basis. The phases are as follow:
| Phase | First Matchday | Last Matchday |
