Trophies

Fifty of them. Every one is decided by the same stored breakdown anyone can read on your profile, so nothing here is awarded by opinion and nothing is handed out. Some you will collect without trying. A few nobody has won yet.

Accuracy

For calling scorelines, which is the whole game.

The Sniper

Can be won more than once

Call an exact score on a match stamped K 2.00 or higher.

The hardest matches to call are the ones worth shooting at. Hitting one from that distance is not luck twice.

The Contrarian

Can be won more than once

Call an exact score that nobody else in the field called.

Being right is one thing. Being right alone, while everyone around you wrote something else, is another.

The Oracle

Can be won more than once

Call three exact scores in the same round.

One is a good week. Three in an afternoon starts to look like sight rather than judgement.

Double Tap

Can be won more than once

Call two exact scores in the same round.

Two shots, both on target, in the same sitting.

Nil by Mouth

Can be won more than once

Call a 0:0 correctly.

Nobody wants to predict nothing happening, which is exactly why almost nobody does. The old phrase for a blank scoreline.

The Rout

Can be won more than once

Call the exact score of a match with five or more goals in it.

Anyone can sense a thrashing coming. Naming the number is different.

Stalemate

Can be won more than once

Call the exact score of a drawn match.

The draw is the hardest result in football to commit to, because it means backing neither side.

Clean Sheet

Can be won more than once

Call an exact score where one side kept a clean sheet.

Football's own phrase for a defence that held, borrowed for the person who saw it coming.

Bang On

Can be won more than once

Call the exact score of a Match of the Round.

The one match everybody is forced to bank. Getting the score right on that is the loudest way to be right.

Lunatic

Can be won more than once

Call an exact score from the lunatic risk band, the scorelines that almost never happen.

The round screen tells you the band before you save it. It calls that band lunatic for a reason.

Snowflake

Can be won more than once

Be the only player on an exact score in a match at least 30 people called.

No two alike. A harder Contrarian: a big field makes being alone much less likely.

Lightning Twice

Can be won more than once

Call two exact scores that nobody else called, in the same round.

It is not supposed to strike twice, and certainly not in one afternoon.

Against the Grain

Can be won more than once

Call the right outcome when fewer than 20 percent of the field agreed with you.

Being right while the room is wrong, which is the only kind of right that moves you up a table.

Perfect Round

Can be won more than once

Call the exact score of every match you picked in a settled round, with at least five picks.

Nobody has done this. Nobody may ever do it. A cabinet needs one trophy that sits there as a dare.

Centurion

Have 100 predictions scored.

A hundred calls made and stood behind. The first real milestone of a career.

Veteran

Have 500 predictions scored.

The end of the ladder. Five hundred scorelines is a lot of Saturdays.

Nerve

For the banker, and what you are willing to risk on it.

Stone Cold

Can be won more than once

Land a banker on a match stamped K 2.00 or higher.

Banking the hardest match on the coupon takes a certain temperature.

The Gambler

Can be won more than once

Land a banker worth 200 points or more.

The banker is double or nothing. Two hundred points means it was worth the nothing.

Double Down

Can be won more than once

Bank two matches on the same matchday and land both.

Only possible since bankers went monthly. Two on one card, both standing.

All In

Can be won more than once

Bank three or more matches on the same matchday and land every one.

Pushing the whole stack across the table on a single afternoon.

Iron Nerve

Can be won more than once

Land a banker in five rounds running.

Anyone can be brave once. Five weeks in a row is a constitution.

Bounce Back

Can be won more than once

Land a banker in the round straight after a banker miss.

The hard part is not the zero. It is going again the following week.

Main Event

Can be won more than once

Land the Match of the Round three times.

The forced banker is the headline fight. Winning it three times is a record, not an accident.

Banker's Dozen

Land thirteen bankers in your career.

The baker's dozen, borrowed by the game the whole thing is named after.

Big Spender

Can be won more than once

Use all ten of your bankers inside one calendar month.

Not skill. Appetite. Some people spend the budget and some sit on it.

Deadline Day

Can be won more than once

Save a pick in the final minute before its match locks.

For the ones who decide with the clock running, the way business gets done on deadline day.

Consistency

For turning up, week after week, and not wasting lines.

Full Card

Can be won more than once

Get every outcome right in a settled round, with at least five picks.

A full card is the old coupon term for one where nothing is crossed out.

The Perfectionist

Can be won more than once

Score points on every pick in a round of eight or more.

Not one wasted line on the coupon, which is rarer than it sounds.

Full House

Can be won more than once

Pick every match on a coupon, leaving nothing blank.

The complete card. No hedging by omission.

Ever Present

Score in ten rounds in a row.

The phrase for a player who never misses a matchday. Turning up is its own discipline.

Season Ticket

Play twenty rounds of BankerBall.

Long service, and the same commitment a season ticket represents.

On a Roll

Can be won more than once

Call the right outcome in ten consecutive picks.

Momentum, measured rather than claimed.

Sharpshooter

Can be won more than once

Land at least one exact score in three rounds running.

Anyone can hit one. Three weeks straight is a habit.

Unbeaten Month

Can be won more than once

Score in every round of a calendar month, with at least three rounds played.

A month without a blank week.

Early Bird

Can be won more than once

Fill a whole coupon more than 24 hours before its first kickoff.

The opposite temperament to Deadline Day, and it deserves its own trophy.

Silverware

For finishing above other people, which is the point of a table.

Matchday Winner

Can be won more than once

Finish first in the global table for a matchday.

The one everybody actually wants. First in the world for a week.

Podium

Can be won more than once

Finish in the top three of a matchday.

Close enough to touch, which is what keeps a mid-table player playing.

Top Ten

Can be won more than once

Finish a matchday in the global top ten.

The rung most players can genuinely reach, and the one that proves the rest is possible.

Flag Bearer

Can be won more than once

Finish first in your country's table for a matchday.

Carrying the flag for the week. For a small country this is a trophy you can really win.

Continental

Can be won more than once

Finish first in your continent's table for a matchday.

A step above the flag, a step below the world.

Hometown Hero

Sit first in your country's season table.

Not one good week. The best in your country across the whole season so far.

Late Surge

Can be won more than once

Climb twenty places or more on the last result of a round.

The Sunday evening climb, when a late score rearranges the table.

Vault Cracker

Can be won more than once

Crack the Vault, the one rolling pot in the game.

One rolling pot for the whole game, and you are the reason it reset.

So Close

Can be won more than once

Be the lone exact on a match that missed cracking the Vault only because fewer than 20 players called it.

The Vault needs a real field to crack. This is the trophy for learning that the hard way.

Bang on the Money

Can be won more than once

Answer the round's total goals tiebreaker exactly right.

It is the question that separates level players. Getting it spot on deserves naming.

Extras Ace

Can be won more than once

Get every bonus question right in one round.

The side quest, cleared.

Community

For the players who bring other players.

Recruiter

Can be won more than once

Refer three players who each reach twenty scored predictions.

Not for the signup. For the three people who stayed.

League Builder

Can be won more than once

Create a mini-league that reaches ten members.

Somebody has to start the league everyone else argues in.

Voice Heard

Can be won more than once

Post an idea that reaches building or shipped on the roadmap.

The ballot loop closing, with your name on it.

Founder

Sign up during the beta, before the final version.

It cannot be earned later, by anyone, ever. That is the entire point of it.

Trophies are won by playing, not by claiming. Fill in this week's coupon and the first few tend to arrive on their own.
