Categories, events and scoring
How does scoring work in Ffans? ⚽
In Ffans, every action you take as a fan has a reward. We have designed a points system to value your participation, knowledge and involvement. We present how we classify it and how we calculate your final score, step by step and transparently.
📊 1. Categories and their “Base Score”
Each category has a generic weight that indicates the importance of that area within the system:
| Category | What do we value? | Base Score |
|---|---|---|
| Participation in Football events | The essence of fandom: being at the matches. | 10 |
| Participation in Club events | Supporting your club’s structure. | 8 |
| Event generation | Creating and growing football events. | 7 |
| Football Knowledge | Showing that you know your team and the game. | 5 |
| Agility game | Variable score depending on the game. | 2 |
🎯 2. The “Event Score” of each action
Each specific action has its own specific score. This figure is added to the base score to obtain the starting points of the event.
➕ 3. The “Total Score” (the real starting point)
Total Score = Base Score + Event Score
This is the figure on which we will then apply adjustments for multiple answers or time. In the table below you have it calculated for each event.
| Category | Aspect to value | Base Score | Event Score | Total Score | Multiple? | Time? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Participation in Football event | Attending your team’s match as a local | 10 | 40 | 50 | N | N |
| Participation in Football event | Attending your team’s match as a visitor | 10 | 50 | 60 | N | N |
| Participation in Football event | Attending a match where your team does not play | 10 | 30 | 40 | N | N |
| Participation in Football event | Participating in fan chants | 10 | 5 | 15 | N | N |
| Football Knowledge | Questions about your team (based on location) | 5 | 10 | 15 | Y | Y |
| Football Knowledge | Guessing the MVP (voted by attendees) | 5 | 15 | 20 | N | Y |
| Football Knowledge | Guessing your team’s lineup | 5 | 15 | 20 | Y | Y |
Legend: N = Not applicable; Y = Applicable (multiple options or time bonus).
🧮 4. How do we adjust the “Total Score” depending on the event?
Once we have the Total Score of the event, we check if it has the following characteristics:
🔹 If the event has multiple options (e.g.: lineup of 11 players)
- If you get all options right → you get the full Total Score.
- If you only get part of them right → you will receive 80% of the Total Score distributed proportionally among the number of correct options, rounded to the nearest unit.
Example: The lineup has Total Score = 20 points. You get 8 out of 11 players right.
- 80% of 20 = 16 points.
- 16 points / 11 players = 1.454 points per player.
- 8 correct × 1.454 = 11.63 → 12 points (rounded).
🔹 If the event is valued with time
The time bonus is calculated based on the available deadline to respond (for example, the 24 hours before the match, or the hours from when the event is published until it closes).
- If you respond within the first half of that deadline → your score is multiplied by 1.2.
- If you respond within the second half of the deadline → the score is multiplied by 1 (no bonus).
Example: The MVP has Total Score = 20 points. The deadline to respond is 24 hours.
- You respond in the first 12 hours → 20 × 1.2 = 24 points.
- You respond in the last 12 hours → 20 × 1 = 20 points.
💡 If the event has multiple and time at the same time, both rules apply: first the partial correct score is calculated (80% proportional) and, on that result, the time factor is applied according to the half of the deadline in which you responded.
🏆 Why all this?
We want every action you take to have value and for the system to be transparent, motivating and fair. Now you know that your points do not come out of a magic box: they start from the sum of the category base and the specific action score, and then they are adjusted to reward accuracy and speed (understood as responding early within the available deadline).
So now you know: participate, show your passion… and climb the Ffans ranking! 🔥
