Competition rules
Entry is free and no purchase is necessary. By registering you agree to these rules.
Who can enter
- Anyone aged 16 or over. Players under 18 need permission from a parent or guardian to accept the prize.
- One account per person. Duplicate accounts are removed together with their scores.
Entries
- Each player gets three entries. One entry is a shootout of ten rounds: five penalties you take and five you try to save.
- An entry counts as used as soon as you start it. If you leave mid-game you can resume it. After 45 minutes of no activity it closes with the points scored so far.
Scoring
- Goal: 100 points, plus up to 60 for placing it near a post, 25 for the top of the net and up to 30 for power.
- Save: 150 points, plus 40 for holding it cleanly and up to 40 for a late reflex save.
- If the taker misses the target you still get 60 points.
- Every goal or save in a row adds ×0.2 to your multiplier, up to ×2. A miss or a conceded goal resets it.
- Every outcome is calculated on our server, not in your browser.
- Your leaderboard total is your three shootout entries added up, plus your best score on each of the ten skill challenges. Ties are decided by the best single shootout entry, then by who got there first.
Skill challenges
- Ten levels that unlock in order. A level opens when you earn a star on the one before it, or once you have played that level three times.
- You can try each level as many times as you like. Only your best try on each level counts toward your total.
- If you leave in the middle of a try you can resume it. Starting a different level instead closes the unfinished try, and it scores the shots you had taken.
- Each successful shot scores points, and stars score a bonus; harder levels are worth more. A perfect 30-star sweep is worth 6,400 points.
- Every challenge shot is decided on our server, like the shootout. Guests can try level 1, but only registered players' scores count.
The prize
- The player at the top of the leaderboard when the competition closes (see the leaderboard) wins one Arsenal shirt printed with a name and number of their choice, in their size.
- We contact the winner by the email used to register. If they don't reply within 14 days, the prize goes to the next player on the leaderboard.
- There is no cash alternative.
Fair play
- Players must be approved to appear on the leaderboard. The organiser may remove players or scores that come from cheating, automation, multiple accounts or abuse.
- Player names that are offensive or impersonate someone are changed or removed.
Your data
- We store your player name, email, a scrambled (hashed) password and your scores. Only the player name and scores are public.
- To delete your account, email the organiser from the address you registered with.
