Getting started
What is fantasy boxing?
Fantasy boxing is a prediction game built around real boxing cards. Rather than drafting a team, you call the outcome of each scheduled bout — who wins, how they win and in which round — and score points on how accurate you were. Fantasy Fight League weights those points by the real bookmakers’ odds, so backing an underdog correctly is worth far more than backing the favourite.
Is Fantasy Fight League free to play?
Yes, completely. You start with 100 $KO, the in-game reward currency used for cosmetic titles and avatar frames. There is no cash stake, no cash prize and nothing to withdraw.
Is this gambling?
No. Fantasy Fight League is a free prediction game. Bookmakers’ odds are used only as a multiplier to weight scoring — you are never staking money, and there is no cash payout. $KO is an in-game reward currency with no cash value and is not cryptocurrency.
Do I need to know a lot about boxing to play?
It helps, but the game is designed to reward people who watch fights rather than people who study odds. Because backing a short-priced favourite scores very little, the players who do well are usually the ones who noticed something about a fighter’s last three performances.
Making picks
When do predictions open and close?
Predictions open one week before a card and lock two hours before the first bell. FFL Pro members can keep editing their picks until thirty minutes before the first bell. Everything is timed against the start of the card — the first undercard bell, not the main event.
What happens if I do not pick a bout?
You are still scored on it, against the bookmakers’ favourite. The default is a stoppage in round seven when the knockout odds are shorter than the decision odds, and a unanimous decision otherwise. It keeps the table complete but rarely scores well, so it is worth picking the full card.
Can I change a pick after I have made it?
Yes, as long as the prediction window is still open for that card. Reopening the card shows your saved picks and you can edit any of them until the lock.
Do I have to pick the undercard as well as the main event?
You are scored across the whole card, so yes — the undercard counts. In practice the undercard is where leagues are won, because more people pay attention to the main event and get it right.
Scoring and ranks
How do I score points in fantasy boxing?
A correct winner pays five points multiplied by that fighter’s winner-market odds. A correct method adds five for a stoppage or four for a decision, again multiplied by the odds. The exact decision type is a flat fifteen, and the exact round pays ten times the bout’s scheduled rounds. Miss the winner and the bout scores nothing at all.
What is the difference between points and $KO?
Points are your prediction score. They decide your leaderboard position and rank, and they only ever go up. $KO is the reward currency you spend in the store on titles and avatar frames, so your $KO balance falls when you buy something. Buying cosmetics never affects your points or your ranking.
How do ranks work?
XP earned from playing moves you through more than eighty rank tiers, starting at Newbie and ending at GOAT. Your rank is a measure of how much you have played and how well, and it is shown next to your name on every leaderboard.
Why is my league position different from my global position?
The two tables use different formulas. The global leaderboard multiplies your winner and method points by the odds. League tables use a flat five points for a correct winner, which makes them less swingy. Same picks, slightly different rewards.
Leagues
Can I play fantasy boxing with friends?
Yes. Create a private league, set the number of seats, protect it with a password and share that with your group. Your global picks are mirrored into every league you have joined automatically, so you only make each pick once.
What is a season?
A season is a run of a league over a chosen set of cards. Standings are scored per season, and starting a new season never deletes the old one — a league keeps both a current table and an all-time table, plus a record of each past season’s champion.
Does a league entry fee cost real money?
No. League entry fees are denominated in $KO, the in-game reward currency. No real money changes hands at any point.
Accounts
Is my web account the same as my phone app account?
Yes. The web app and the FFL phone app share one account and one database. Sign in on the web with the same details and your profile, points, picks and leagues are already there. A pick made on either one shows up immediately on the other.
What is FFL Pro?
FFL Pro is the paid membership tier. Its main practical benefit is a later prediction cutoff — thirty minutes before the first bell rather than two hours — which matters when there is late news on fight day.
How do I reset my password?
Use the “Forgot your password?” link on the sign-in page. A reset email is sent to the address on your account.
Still stuck? The how it works page walks through a full card from schedule to settled table, and scoring has every number in the game.
