PICKLIVE: GAME RULES
THE GAME
Picklive is an online real time fantasy football game. Users select three (3) players from a live football match broadcast live on television. They are awarded points according to the relative performance of those players versus those selected by rival users. Users can substitute players in real time as the match unfolds in order to try to maximize their point totals. The winner is the user who has accumulated the most points over the course of the game. Users can choose the length of the games they play from 5 minutes and then upwards in increments of 5 minutes to the full 90 minutes of the football match.
CHOOSING YOUR PLAYERS
Team rosters are listings of players for a particular football match. Picklive permits you to choose three players from either team as shown on that Team roster. Team rosters are subject to change, often at very short notice. Picklive will seek to update team rosters as these changes become available, but does not guarantee that a particular player will actually take part in a particular football match. It is your responsibility to keep abreast of roster changes, and adjust your choice of players accordingly.
CHANGING PLAYER CHOICES
Picklive allows you to change your player choices up until and during the time of your Picklive game. During a Picklive game you are entitled to make no more than 3 substitutions.
