Season Pass

What the AFL Season Pass covers.

One AFL Premiership season, Australian rules football's top competition, from the opening round in March through the finals series to the Grand Final. The pass window follows that season's fixture list, so the finals sit inside it whenever you buy.

Eighteen clubs make a nine-match round when everyone plays, and the bye rounds carry fewer. Fixtures come through with the matches that are actually on, so a lighter round is scored over the games played.

AFLW is a separate sport on Fanzava, with its own season and its own pass.

What your players do every round.

1. Predict a winner in every match. Each match locks at its own first bounce, which from the UK usually means the early hours or the morning. Predictions can be changed any time before a match locks.
2. Add a margin, a joker or a draw, if you switch them on. AFL margins run wide, so margin prediction separates the people who watch from the people who guess. A joker scores one chosen pick at 1.5 to 3 times its value, and draw picks let a player call the rare level result.
3. Check the leaderboard after the round. Results arrive from the data feed as each match finishes, and the leaderboard moves overall and inside every group.

What the AFLW Season Pass covers.

One AFLW season, the women's Australian rules competition, from its opening round in August through a top-eight finals series to the Grand Final in late November. The pass window follows that season's own fixture list.

All eighteen clubs play every round, so every round is nine matches and there are no byes to work around.

AFLW is its own sport on Fanzava rather than a league inside AFL, with its own fixtures, its own default margin and its own pass.

What your players do every round.

1. Predict nine matches. Every club plays, every round. Each match locks at its own first bounce, and a prediction can be changed until it does.
2. Keep up with a moving fixture. Timeslots shift from round to round, so reminders go out before the first lock of each round rather than on a fixed weekly deadline.
3. Call the margin on a lower-scoring game. AFLW scores run lower than the men's game, so set the margin weight for AFLW before the first round locks.

What the NRL Season Pass covers.

One NRL Premiership season, Australia's rugby league competition, from round one in March through a top-eight finals series to the Grand Final. The pass window follows that season's fixture list, so the finals sit inside it whenever you buy.

An NRL round runs from Thursday to Sunday Australian time, and every match locks at its own kick-off. State of Origin arrives mid-season and takes representative players away from their clubs.

One pass covers one competition. Predicting another sport beside the NRL is a job for an annual plan.

What your players do every round.

1. Predict across four nights. Thursday's match locks first and Sunday's last, so a player who forgets one only loses that game. Predictions can be changed any time before each kick-off.
2. Know the draw rule before round one. Golden point settles most level games, but a regular-season draw can still happen. You decide whether players can pick the draw and what it pays.
3. Use a joker. A joker scores one chosen pick at 1.5 to 3 times its value. Results arrive from the data feed and the leaderboard moves as each match ends.

What the Cricket Season Pass covers.

One competition's season, chosen at checkout, such as Australia's Big Bash League: eight teams, played across December and January, with a match most days rather than a round every weekend. Because that season crosses New Year, it is named across two years when you pick it.

A short finals series follows the regular season, and the pass window takes it in.

A Twenty20 match starts and finishes in one session, so the leaderboard moves daily. A match the feed marks cancelled or postponed is voided, so every prediction on it scores nothing and none counts as wrong.

What your players do through the season.

1. Predict a winner in each match. Every match locks at its first ball. On days that carry two matches, that means two locks hours apart, and a prediction can be changed until each one closes.
2. Winners only, no margins. A cricket result is counted in runs or in wickets depending on who batted first, so margin prediction is not offered for cricket. Players pick the winner, and a joker lets them score one pick at 1.5 to 3 times its value.
3. Check the leaderboard after each match. Results arrive from the data feed once each match ends, so the leaderboard moves the same day rather than at the end of the week.

What the Football Season Pass covers.

One league's season, chosen at checkout: the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga or Ligue 1. Those seasons run from August to May and are named across two years, so pick the season you are about to run. The pass window follows that season's own fixture list, not twelve months from the day you pay.

Every club plays every other club home and away. Most gameweeks fall on a weekend, a handful are played midweek, and each match locks at its own kick-off, so the Friday night game closes first and the Monday night game stays open until it starts.

One pass, one league. A hub that wants several leagues running at once needs an annual plan.

What your players do every gameweek.

1. Pick home, away or the draw. A draw is an ordinary football result, so draw picks earn their place here: switch them on and players can call the draw as a third option, worth whatever you set. With them off, a team pick on a drawn match scores nothing.
2. Predict match by match. Each match locks at its own kick-off, so a gameweek's later games stay open after the early ones start, and a prediction can be changed until its match locks.
3. Call the goal margin. Margin prediction works in goals. At the default weight an exact margin scores 3 and each goal out costs one, which suits a low-scoring game. Postponed matches are voided, so nobody loses ground to a fixture that did not happen.

What the NFL Season Pass covers.

One NFL season, from the opening week in September through the play-offs to the Super Bowl in February. The pass window follows that season's own fixture list, and the season is named for the year it starts, so the one that finishes in February carries the previous year's name at checkout.

Every week is a round. From the UK, the Sunday slate starts in the early evening and runs past midnight, and the Thursday and Monday night games kick off in the small hours. Bye weeks mid-season mean some weeks carry fewer games, and the fixture list handles that for you.

What your players do every week.

1. Predict every game in the week. Each game locks at its own kick-off, so the Thursday night game closes first and the Monday night game stays open until it starts. A prediction can be changed until its game locks.
2. Get the reminder before bed. Reminders go out before the first lock of each week, at times you set: a primary one between 4 and 72 hours before, and a final one between 30 and 240 minutes before.
3. Add a margin or a joker. NFL margins are supported, and a joker scores one chosen pick at 1.5 to 3 times its value. Results arrive from the data feed as each game ends, and the leaderboard is settled once the Monday night game finishes.

What the NBA Season Pass covers.

One NBA season, from opening night in October through the regular season, the play-in and the play-offs, to the Finals in June. The pass window follows that season's own fixture list, and because the season crosses New Year it is named across two years at checkout.

Thirty teams play an 82-game schedule, so there are games most nights of the week. US evening tip-offs land after midnight in the UK, which means results are in by breakfast.

The NBA Cup sits inside the regular season, and its group games count as regular-season games, so they arrive in your fixtures with everything else. The All-Star break in February is the one week with nothing to predict.

What your players do every round.

1. Predict the games in each round. Every game locks at its own tip-off, so a round that spans several nights stays open for the later games after the early ones start. Predictions can be changed until each game locks, so a late injury update is not a lost pick.
2. No draws to worry about. A basketball game always has a winner, so draw picks do not apply and every prediction is simply right or wrong.
3. Let the margin separate the field. Scores run into the hundreds and margins spread wide, so margin prediction does real work in basketball. Set the margin weight high enough to reward a good call, or run Margin as its own competition type.

What the Formula 1 Season Pass covers.

One Formula 1 World Championship season, race by race, from the opening Grand Prix in March to the final race late in the year, Silverstone included. The pass window follows that season's own calendar, named by year at checkout.

There is no home team in Formula 1, so there is nothing to predict head to head. Each Grand Prix is a round of predictions instead, and results come from the data feed after the chequered flag, retirements included.

With eleven teams and twenty-two drivers on the grid, calling a podium takes a real read of form, and a single first-lap incident can reshape a whole round. F1 has no knockout stage, so the championship is the competition from the first race to the last.

What your players do every race weekend.

1. Call the winner and the podium. For each Grand Prix, players predict the race winner and the drivers finishing second and third. Picks can be changed any time before they lock.
2. Add pole and the fastest lap. Pole position and the fastest lap are scored as categories of their own, and you set what each category is worth.
3. Watch the leaderboard after the flag. Once the race is classified, every category scores and the leaderboard moves, overall and inside every group, without anyone typing in a result.
