Classic
Classic is Declare It at its simplest: the host picks a set of fixtures, sets the scoring, and everyone declares their scorelines. Highest total wins, over a one-off matchday or a season-long run.
How you score
Each fixture scores like this (the host can tweak the values):
| Outcome | Points |
|---|---|
| Exact scoreline | +5 |
| Right result, wrong score | +2 |
| Wrong result | 0 |
| Wrong result & badly off | −1 |
Wildcards (optional)
The host can let each player nominate a few picks as wildcards, which score double for better or worse. Pick your bankers, or your boldest calls.
Three ways to win
Most points is the default: highest total takes it. Any game can flip to accuracy, where the winner is whoever's closest across the board (smallest total goal error; wildcards don't apply). A game spanning two or more matchdays also unlocks Head-to-Head: each round pairs you with one other player, and outscoring them wins the tie and 3 league points (a draw is worth 1). With odd numbers, someone faces the round's average score. Season-long Head-to-Head is how you run a league with your mates.
Wager & forfeit
Add an optional fake-money pot and a forfeit for the loser.
