Final Whistle
Frequently asked questions
The practical details for creators and participants.01 Do participants need an account or email address?
No. Participants join a private league with a nickname and receive a recovery code for future access.
02 How private is a league?
League routes are excluded from search indexing and require the private link. Anyone who receives that link can reach the join page, so share it deliberately.
03 Can a prediction change after kickoff?
No. The backend enforces each lock using server time. A stale browser cannot bypass a lock.
04 What happens if a kickoff time changes?
The authoritative fixture time and lock update together. The interface displays the current server-provided deadline.
05 Can league admins see predictions before they lock?
No. Administration does not grant access to another participant’s unlocked predictions.
06 What if several players tie as top scorer?
Top-scorer ranks use tournament goals only and dense ranking. Every player tied at rank one counts as an exact top scorer.
07 What should I do with my recovery code?
Store it in a trusted password manager. It is shown only when issued or rotated and remains valid until rotation.
08 Does Final Whistle use analytics?
No analytics tracking is used in v1.
