(c) Bets will be Settled on the official competition results (regardless of whether all matches are played or not). Rule 14.13 Dead Heats Rules will apply. Bets on players not named in at least one starting XI will be Void. Goals scored during extra time will count for top goal scorer markets.

Tournament Totals:

(d) For tournament total markets including goals, red cards, yellow cards and corners, extra time does not count.

Relegation Betting:

(e) Bets will be Settled based on the position on the final day of the season regardless of any subsequent disqualifications or points deductions. Bets will be Voided on any team that does not fulfil its fixtures and complete the season.

Player Specials:

(f) For all player specials such as to score a goal or to score a hat-trick, the player must start the match at kickoff for bets to stand.

Total Match Corners:

(g) Bets on the number of corners in a match refers to corners taken rather than corners awarded. If a corner is awarded but the whistle blows for the end of the match before it is taken, then it will not count towards total.
