# How to Play Olympics Football

Here's a quick and easy guide to get you started:

**Overview**

Olympics Football is a blockchain-based game on the BASE network where you predict the outcomes of matches in the men's football tournament. The game is divided into two independent stages: the First Stage (group stage) and the Final Stage (knockout stage).

**Game Structure**

**First Stage:**

* Consists of 24 matches between national teams.
* Each entry costs 10 $USDC.
* Predict the results of all group stage matches.
* Only in this stage can matches end in a draw.
* The player with the most correct predictions wins the jackpot.
* In case of ties, the prize is split proportionally.

**Final Stage:**

* Consists of 8 matches, including the final and the third-place playoff.
* Predict the outcomes of these knockout matches.
* The player with the most accurate predictions wins the jackpot.
* The prize is split if there are multiple winners.

**Prizes**

* The jackpot is the total entry fees collected, minus a 10% protocol fee.
* Each entry is a dynamic NFT that updates with match results.
* At the end of the game, users with the most correct predictions can claim the prize.

Good luck, and may the best predictor win!
