Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about playing and running competitions on GoalRush.

For players

How do I join a competition?

Ask whoever's running the competition for their invite link or invite code. Open the link, enter your name, and you're in — no separate signup needed. If you're expecting a verification email and don't see it, check your spam or junk folder before assuming something's gone wrong.

Can I be in more than one competition at once?

Yes. Many players are in several — for example your own private league with friends, plus GaryGoalRush.

How does scoring work?

Every fixture is scored the same way: exact score — 5 points. Correct result plus one team's goals exactly right — 3 points. Correct result only (right winner or draw, wrong score) — 2 points. One team's goals exactly right, but wrong result — 1 point. Anything else — 0 points.

Can I change a prediction after saving it?

Yes, right up until 60 minutes before that specific match kicks off — roughly when team lineups are announced. After that, that one prediction locks and can't be edited. Every fixture locks independently at its own kickoff time, not at the start of the gameweek.

What is #BeatGary?

Gary is GoalRush's own resident predictor. Every gameweek he makes his picks, and you can see them and try to beat him on the leaderboard. Gary has his own competition, which all players are automatically added to.

Can I use the same predictions in more than one competition?

Yes — after saving your predictions, if you're in other competitions too, you'll be offered the option to apply the same picks to some or all of them in one go, instead of entering them separately everywhere. One thing worth knowing: this only fills in gaps — it never overwrites a pick you've already made directly in the competition you're copying into. So if you'd already predicted a particular match yourself in one competition before copying your picks over from another, that one stays exactly as you entered it rather than being replaced, which can leave you with a genuinely different pick for that match in each competition. If you want your picks to match exactly everywhere, copy your predictions across before entering anything separately in the other competition.

Can I see what everyone else predicted?

Once a fixture locks (60 minutes before its kickoff), everyone's predictions for that match become visible to the rest of your competition — look for "See all predictions" under the fixture on the Fixtures or Results page. Nobody can change a pick after it locks, so there's no way to copy anyone else's prediction. Once the match is scored, the same view also shows the points each player was awarded, so you can see exactly how the leaderboard came together. This works the same way for every fixture on GoalRush, past or present, across every competition type.

For organisers

How do I create a competition?

From your dashboard, choose "Create Competition," pick a season, and you're set up with an invite code and link to share.

Can I rename my competition or change its description later?

Yes — from your competition's Settings tab.

Can I edit fixtures or match results myself?

No — fixtures and results are shared across every competition on GoalRush and are kept in sync centrally, so all competitions stay consistent with real Premier League results.
