Rules :

1. The Game :
** Putting together a squad from the best players at the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ takes skill, research and shrewdness. All managers start off equal, with a budget to spend on their Fantasy team. Balance that budget, make sure you have the stars that are sure to shine brightest and score you valuable points, but also, always make room for those potential surprises that could make all the difference.
** You can still join the game after the tournament has started, but you will not score any points for past rounds that you have missed.
** After your squad is complete, you must select 11 players for your line-up.
** For example, you can’t play a designated defender as a midfielder or forward.
** Players will be assigned a designated position for the duration of the fantasy game. The position they land up playing in an actual match at the 2014 FIFA World Cup is not relevant to the fantasy scoring. Fantasy points will be calculated based upon a player’s fixed fantasy position.

2. Your Squad :
** Have a look at the list of available players on the transfer market and set up your squad. It`s one squad per manager and multiple squads will be deleted.
** You have an initial budget to set up your squad. You must have 23 players in your squad.

Squads must consist of at least :
** 3 Goalkeepers
** 7 Defenders
** 8 Midfielders
** 5 Forwards

Note :
You can have a maximum of three players from each individual national team. This limit is raised throughout the competition as teams are eliminated. The player limits are :

Player limits :
** Group Stage – 3 players from the same team
** Round of 16 – 5 players from the same team
** Quarter-finals – 5 players from the same team
** Semi-finals – 8 players from the same team
** Final – Unlimited

Note :
** From your squad you must select 11 players to form your starting team. Only starting players will earn points for your team.
** Please note that your team and any changes you make will save automatically. There is no save button.
** You can change every player in your line-up that has already played during the current round for any other relevant player in your squad that hasn’t already played. You can also change the captain as long as the new captain hasn’t already started to play.
** For example if you have placed NEYMAR on Your Pitch and he did not perform as well as you expected after the first match you can replace him with a forward from your bench that hasn’t already played during the current round. You would lose the points from NEYMAR for the round but the new player might get more points.
** If you don`t make any changes to your team the current team will continue to score points for you.

3. Rounds :
Please find a list of the rounds below :

** Once a round is over and points have been finalized (points will be finalized a few minutes after a round is completed), select the round from the dropdown box under “latest scores”. You can then see the points tally for that particular round.
** You can modify your squad throughout the season in the transfer market. The transfer market is opened during the official rest days of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.
** The values of players will NOT fluctuate in the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ McDonald’s Fantasy game.
** Fantasy managers that finish in first, second and third position for a round will receive the respective round’s prize. (See the prizes page for full details). A manager can only win one (1) round prize for the duration of the game. If a manager who has already won a round prize finishes in the top 3 for another round they will be ineligible for that second prize and such a prize will be awarded to the next best manager in the rankings. A manager can, however, win both one round prize and one overall prize for McDonald’s FIFA World Cup Fantasy.

4. Leagues :
Every manager goes into the overall league, but it’s much more fun to take on your friends and colleagues in a mini-league. There is no limit to the number of mini-leagues you can join. You can allow anyone to join your mini-league, protect it with a password or only allow managers who support the same club to join in. Simply go to My Leagues and go through the process of either joining or creating a league. Please note however that the official prizes only apply to the official 2014 FIFA World Cup™ McDonald’s Fantasy game and not to the mini-leagues.

5. Scoring :
Every player receives points for what he does on the pitch, based on the statistic analysis of the match. Depending on their success, players will receive positive or sometimes even negative points.

The following points are awarded during the evaluation :
