Soccer Challenge Platform

How it works

Welcome to Polla — a Soccer Challenge where you predict match scores, compete with friends, and climb the leaderboard.

Two ways to play

Create tournaments, pick the games, set scoring rules, and invite players by email.

Accept an invitation, enter score predictions before each match locks, and track your rank.

Many users do both: run their own tournaments and play in others.

Get invited — Receive an email or see the invite in My invitations, then accept.
Open your tournament list — See active and finished tournaments, your points, and your position.
Enter scores — Predict home and visitor scores before lock time (1 hour before kickoff).
Follow the schedule — Check fixtures and live or final results in Games schedule.
View results — See rankings, charts, and how every point was earned.

Create a tournament — Name it, choose games from available leagues, and set point values.
Invite players — Send email invitations and track who has accepted.
Manage capture — Keep Game selection open while players enter picks; close it when the tournament should be locked.
