Ballon d'Or

How to play Contrarreloj

1. 1A list comes up every day: everyone who played for a club, the goalkeepers, the Ballon d'Or winners.
2. 2Type names and pick from what comes up. Every right one takes one of the 12 places.
3. 3The clock starts the moment the list appears, so there is no time to think it over.
4. 4If time runs out the list stays as it is, and you score whatever you found.

FAQ

What if I name someone who is not on the list?

We say so and it takes no place. It stays struck out below so you do not try it twice.

Does any footballer count?

Only the ones in the game, around eight hundred, which are the names most people know.

What if I know more than twelve?

Twelve ends it. The point is reaching those twelve before the clock, not emptying the list.

Can the same list come up two days running?

No. They rotate, so every list comes up before any of them comes round again.

Does difficulty change the list?

It changes the clock, not the names. In random mode the list comes from the link, and the same link always deals the same one.

What does a shared result show?

The names you found and the places you left open. Whoever opens the link sees your answers, so share it with someone who has already played.

What if I want to keep playing?

Random mode deals another list, as often as you like.
