The Game

FlashPoint Football turns every NFL matchup into a live competition by breaking the game into key moments and categories that unfold throughout the game.

Examples of categories include:

• First Team to Score

• Fumble Recovery

• Interception

• First Down — Rushing

• First Down — Passing

• Rushing Touchdown

• Passing Touchdown

• Field Goal

• Sack

• Accepted Penalty

Depending on the number of players in a room, each category will contain between 1–6 selections for each team.

Every play matters. Every moment can shift the standings.

The Draft

Before kickoff, players take turns drafting categories until the board is full.

Draft order is randomly generated by the system.

Each player has 24 seconds to make a selection. If time expires, the system automatically makes a pick so the draft keeps moving.

Rooms support up to 24 players, and the draft board automatically adjusts based on room size.

Short on time? Turn on Auto Draft and FlashPoint Football will handle the picks for you.

Category Limits

Players cannot draft the same category more than once.

Example:

• A player can draft First Down — Rushing and First Down — Passing

• But cannot draft First Down — Rushing twice, even for different teams

This keeps the draft balanced and rewards players who can predict a variety of game moments.

Head-to-Head Matchups

Every category becomes a live head-to-head battle between two players — one backing each team.

Example:

Rams vs 49ers

If you drafted:
Rams — First Down Passing

And the Rams convert a passing first down:

• You gain 1 point

• Your opponent loses 1 point

If the opposing team wins the category, the scoring swings the other way.

Scores update live throughout the game.

The Game Ball

At the start of the game, one player is randomly assigned the Game Ball.

The Game Ball changes hands whenever a player wins a category against the player holding it.

Example:

If you hold the Game Ball and your opponent wins a category against you:

• They gain the point

• They take the Game Ball

If the player you beat does not hold the Game Ball, you simply gain the point.

The Game Ball is always in play — and always one big moment away from changing hands.

Bonus Points

The player holding the Game Ball at the end of each quarter earns bonus points:

Quarter

End of 2nd Quarter

End of 3rd Quarter

+2 Points

End of 4th Quarter

Game Ball Reset

At the start of each quarter, the system randomly assigns the Game Ball to a new player.

No bonus points are awarded for starting with the Game Ball — only for holding it at the end of the quarter.

Winning

Points accumulate throughout the game as players win categories and earn Game Ball bonuses.

When the final whistle blows, the player with the highest score wins the room — and the bragging rights until next kickoff.
