  Timing of corners and penalty kicks

• Goalscorers
  

  We will make every effort to quote prices for all probable players. However, prices for unquoted players will always be available on request and those players will count as winners in the event that they score. Own goals do not count for settlement purposes, If the only goal scored within 90 minutes is an own goal, then 'no goalscorer' will be deemed to have been the outcome.

  In the event of there being a correction to a goalscorer on an inplay game, any bet taken on that goalscorer between the time of goal and the correction, will be made void, regardless if he scores a subsequent goal

• First goalscorer

Scorecasts are available on all matches where correct score and first player to score odds are available. The Scorecast 0-0 and no goalscorer is settled as a correct score single. If your selected player joins the match after the first goal has been scored or does not take part in the game, Scorecast bets will revert to a single on the correct score. For first goalscorer purposes, own goals do not count, so in this circumstance, the Scorecast will be settled on the next goalscorer and correct score of the game. If the correct score is 1-0 and the goal is an own goal, Scorecast bets are settled as a correct score single. If a match is abandoned prior to the completion of 90 minutes and a goal has been scored, Scorecast bets are settled as first goalscorer singles. If no goal has been scored, all bets are void.

Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes.

• Definitions
  
  Goal/Own Goal

  Different governing bodies have different rules, and where possible Opta works with the relevant people to reflect their official decisions on goal scorers.

  Regarding deflections, normally a goal is awarded if the original attempt is on target. An own goal is usually awarded if the attempt is off target and deflected into the goal by an opponent.

  
  Shot on Target

  A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:

  • Goes into the net regardless of intent.

  • Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).

  Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.

  Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target.

  
  Shot off Target

  A shot off target is defined as any clear attempt to score that:

  • Goes over or wide of the goal without making contact with another player.

  • Would have gone over or wide of the goal but for being stopped by a goalkeeper's save or by an outfield player.

  • Directly hits the frame of the goal and a goal is not scored.

  Blocked shots are not counted as shots off target.

  
  Blocked Shot

  A blocked shot is defined as any clear attempt to score that:

  Is going on target and is blocked by an outfield player, where there are other defenders or a goalkeeper behind the blocker.Includes shots blocked unintentionally by the shooter’s own team mate.

  Clearances off the line by an opposition player (last line blocks) are counted as shots on target and do not get counted as a blocked shot.

  
  Goal Assist

  The final touch (pass, pass-cum-shot or any other touch) leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal. If the final touch is deflected by an opposition player, the initiator is only given a goal assist if the receiving player was likely to receive the ball without the deflection having taken place. Own goals, directly taken free kicks, direct corner goals and penalties do not get an assist awarded.

  
  Direct Free Kick for Goals/Shots

  Direct free kick shots are any attempts created directly from the free kick itself (unassisted).

  
  Body Part for Goals/Shots

  The following four body parts are collected: Right foot, left foot, head and other. Foot includes any connection with the leg.

  
  Location for Goals/Shots

  The position of the ball, when the shot is taken (shot origin).

  Any event happening on a line, will be considered inside that area. For example, a shot on the 18-yard line will count as being inside the box.

  
  Pass

  Any intentional played ball from one player to another. Passes include open play passes, goal kicks, corners and free kicks played as pass – but exclude crosses, keeper throws and throw-ins.

  
  Tackle

  A tackle is defined as where a player connects with the ball in a ground challenge where he successfully takes the ball away from the player in possession. The tackled player must clearly be in possession of the ball before the tackle is made. It is not a tackle, when a player cuts out a pass by any means.

  
  Video Assistant Referee (VAR)

  We reserve the right to void any bet, where a bet is settled, or the price taken is affected by a VAR decision. This rule will begin at the time of the incident that is being reviewed and not the subsequent time of the decision made. Bets will stand if the review does not alter the decision made by the on-field officials, or the decision changes the on field decision but bets are not affected.

  • 1) Outright Betting

    The result of any playoff where required is taken into account. Dead-heat rules will apply to the Place part of Each-way bets.

    In the event of a play-off, the result of the play-off will determine the winner of the tournament. If three or more contestants take part, such a play-off has the sole purpose of deciding the winner of the tournament, and the relative finishing positions of unsuccessful contestants is not affected for Outright, Match, or Group bets.

    When more than one player shares the same lowest score in a tournament and there is no play-off, win and place bets will be settled under normal dead heat rules.

    For each way bets dead heat rules apply. For example, if each-way terms quoted for a tournament are for the first 4 places, then 3 players tying for third place will be deemed to have dead-heated for third, fourth and fifth place with 1/3 stake lost and 2/3 stake settled at full place odds for each way bets on those players.

    In a dead heat the stake on a selection is divided by the number of runners involved in the dead heat. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake with the remainder of the stake being lost.

    Outright markets, including Top Nationality, Match & Group Betting, are offered on a non-runner no bet basis, and may be subject to a Rule 4 deduction in the event of a significant withdrawal.

    Should a tournament be shortened, or otherwise affected due to weather conditions the trophy presentation will govern settlement, including tournament groups, matches, place only, top 10 and all other 72-hole markets provided at least 36 holes of the event have been completed.

    Should 36 holes not be completed then all bets on that event will be void except markets that have already been decided i.e. 'first round 3-balls'.

    A player is deemed to have played once they have teed off. In the event of a player withdrawing after having teed off then stakes will be lost on outright, group, match or 18 hole betting.

    Ante-Post bets on any player who takes part in a qualifying tournament but fails to qualify for the main tournament will be classed as losers.

    This will apply, even if both (or all) players 'miss the cut'; if one player in a match bet misses the cut then the other player is deemed the winner. If both players miss the cut then the lowest score after the cut has been made will determine settlement.

    If a player in a match bet is disqualified, or withdraws after starting, either prior to the completion of two rounds or after both players have made the cut, then the other player is deemed the winner.

    If a player is disqualified during either the 3rd or 4th rounds, when the other player in the match bet has already missed the cut, then the disqualified player is deemed the winner.

    All bets relating to an individual's specific round(s) will be settled on the number of strokes registered on the score-card as signed by that competitor upon the completion of play.

    If a tournament is affected by adverse weather bets will be settled providing that there is an officially deemed tournament winner and a minimum of 36 holes are completed. The winner will be the player in the lead at the end of the last completed round.

  • 3) 18 Hole 2 Ball / 3 Ball Betting –

    In 2 Ball betting a price will be offered for a tie. In 3 Ball betting if players have an identical score in the round, the result will be a tie between those players and dead heat rules will apply.

    Should a player fail to complete a round or be disqualified he will be deemed a loser.

    For tournaments using the Stableford scoring system the highest points scorer during the round is deemed the winner.

  • 4) Current / Next Hole Betting

    Player Score – A player is deemed to have played a specified hole once they have teed off.

• • clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the bet

Bets will stand and winning bets will be settled at the correct price.
