Football Rules: Goalscorers Shirt Numbers
Market description: Select the total of the goalscorers shirt numbers from the options available.
- If the match result is 3-0 and the goals were scored by players with shirt numbers 5, 7 and 11 the winning total will be 23.
1. Bets are settled on the events that occur in normal time. This includes any injury/stoppage time added on by the match official at the end of normal time.
2. Extra time doesn't count.
3. If an own goal is scored, the shirt number of the scorer of that own goal will be credited to the team that's awarded the goal.
4. If a player isn't allocated a squad number, or has no number on their shirt when they join the field of play, they'll be allocated number 12.
5. Any squad or shirt number over 99 will count as 99.
6. If a player changes into a different shirt during a match, the number on their original shirt will count.
7. If a match is postponed, normal postponed match rules apply.
8. If a match is abandoned, normal abandoned match rules apply.
- If a match is abandoned and a winning selection has been established in the time played before abandonment, bets placed on that selection in this market will have already won and will be settled as winners. Bets placed on other selections in this market will have already lost.
- If a match is abandoned and no winning selection has been established in the time played before abandonment, bets placed will be void, subject to normal abandoned match rules, because the match didn't play for the full duration.
9. Settlement of all stats markets will be based on data provided by OPTA (Part of the Stats Perform Group).
- OPTA stats are available here.
- OPTA may occasionally go back and make amendments to ensure accuracy. We'll settle all markets based on their final decision.
- Adjustments to the settlement of markets won't be made for changes or adjudications made by governing bodies after the event.
- OPTA have a long-established list of ‘Event Definitions’ which are adhered to across all of their data collection centres. They can be accessed here.
