What happens if a match is postponed or abandoned in the Classic Pools?

Abandoned or postponed games in Classic Pools

If one of the football matches in your game does not kick off on the scheduled date, The Pools will try to replace it with another football match.

  • If a suitable replacement match is available, that replacement match will be used.

  • If there are more postponed/cancelled matches than available replacement matches, The Pools will use a Random Number Generator (RNG) to decide the result for the affected match.

The RNG gives one of three possible outcomes:

  • 1-16: Score Draw (e.g. 1-1, 2-2, 3-3) = 3 points

  • 17-26: 0-0 Draw = 2 points

  • 27-100: Home Win or Away Win = 1 point

Example:
If a match is cancelled and no replacement game is available, the RNG might generate the number 12. As this falls within the 1-16 range, the match would be treated as a score draw, and players who predicted a score draw would receive 3 points.
