The organiser of the prize competition “Perfect Matchday Challenge” (hereinafter also:“PMDC” or “prize competition”) is Kickbase GmbH, Pariser Straße 25, 81667 Munich, Germany.

Participation in this prize competition is governed exclusively by these Terms of Participation. By participating, the participant accepts these Terms of Participation.

In the winning period (1. Bundesliga season 2026/2027) the organiser holds the PMDC prize competition.

The prize competition relates in principle to all 34 matchdays of the season. On every matchday there is the chance to field the “perfect 6-player line-up” (permissible formations: 1-2-2, 2-1-2, 2-2-1). The prize competition ends prematurely if a win has been achieved on four different matchdays.

In order to be able to take part in the prize competition, the participant must have registered as a user in the Kickbase app (“Kickbase account”). Within the Kickbase app he/she can take part in the challenge “Perfect Matchday Challenge”. Specifically, he/she must field a team consisting of six real players of the 1. Bundesliga.

Participation is only possible until the kick-off of the respective top match (hereinafter referred to as “closing date for participation”). Line-ups submitted after the closing date for participation and those that exceed the specified budget are not taken into account in the evaluation.

Each participant may only participate with one Kickbase account. Creating additional accounts with the intention of having them take part in the competition is not permitted. If the organiser determines that several accounts are taking part in the prize competition via one device, it may disqualify all accounts concerned without stating further reasons.

Participation in the prize competition is free of charge - with the exception of the transmission costs incurred under the tariff of the respective mobile phone or internet provider selected by the participant - and is not dependent on the purchase of goods or services. Follow-up costs may arise for claiming a prize (see under VI.).

Eligible to participate are natural persons who are resident in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain or the United States of America, who have reached the age of 18 and who have a Kickbase account. Participation is not limited to existing customers of the organiser, i.e. participants may also be persons who create a Kickbase account only after the start of the prize competition.

If a participant has limited legal capacity, he requires the consent of his legal representative in order to participate.

All persons involved in the conception and implementation of the competition and employees of the organiser as well as their family members are excluded from participation in the competition. In addition, the organiser reserves the right to exclude persons from participation at its own discretion where there are legitimate reasons. Legitimate reasons include in particular (a) manipulation in connection with access to the prize competition or its implementation, (b) breaches of these Terms of Participation, (c) unfair practices or (d) false or misleading information in connection with participation in the prize competition.

In the event of a breach of these Terms of Participation, the organiser reserves the right to exclude the persons concerned from the prize competition – also retroactively. The same applies if persons provide untrue information about themselves.

Persons who use unauthorised aids or otherwise obtain advantages through manipulation may likewise be excluded from the prize competition retroactively. In cases of exclusion of a participant, the organiser may also reclaim prizes that have already been won by a participant in this prize competition.

A cash prize of €10,000 can be won per matchday of the 1. Bundesliga season 2026/2027.

The winner of a matchday is the participant who has fielded the so-called perfect 6-player line-up. This is understood to mean the combination of the six highest-scoring players of the respective matchday according to the official Kickbase scoring, in compliance with the formation restrictions specified by the game system (permissible formations: 1-2-2, 2-1-2, 2-2-1). What counts is therefore the best possible 6-player line-up that can be fielded within the framework of the available positions and permitted formations.

If several participants field exactly the same perfect 6-player line-up, the prize for the matchday (€10,000) is divided equally among all winners.

As soon as the perfect line-up has been fielded correctly a total of four times on four different matchdays (by any number of participants) over the course of the season, the prize competition ends prematurely and automatically - irrespective of how many matchdays have passed by then.

The winner is informed of the prize in good time by e-mail to the e-mail address provided when registering the Kickbase account.

The cash prize is paid out by bank transfer. An exchange as well as a cash payment of the prizes are excluded.

The winner is responsible for any taxation of the prize.

If a winner does not respond even after two prize notifications/requests by the organiser within an overall period of three weeks and/or does not provide the following details within this overall period
- First name and surname
- Postal address, if the prize is to be sent by post
- Confirmation that the winner has reached the age of 18,

the organiser may award the prize to the next-placed participant.

The award of skill points is based on the number of correctly picked players that match the official best selection of the respective matchday.

20 skill points are awarded for each correct pick. A negative award of skill points is excluded – no skill points can therefore be lost.

The organiser expressly reserves the right to cancel or terminate the prize competition prematurely without prior notice and without giving reasons. The organiser will make use of this option in particular where there are reasons that would disrupt or prevent the scheduled running of the prize competition or where the proper implementation of the prize competition cannot be guaranteed for technical (e.g. viruses in the computer system, manipulation of or errors in the hardware and/or software) or legal reasons.

Irrespective of this, the prize competition ends automatically and prematurely as soon as a perfect line-up has been fielded correctly on a total of four different matchdays – irrespective of how many participants these line-ups come from. What counts is therefore the total number of matchdays with a perfect line-up, not the number of persons. This means that a maximum of four prizes of €10,000 each will be paid out over the entire promotional period.

“Perfect line-up” means in each case the best possible valid 6-player line-up according to the applicable rules of the game system and in accordance with the permissible formations (1-2-2, 2-1-2, 2-2-1).

This prize competition is not connected with Facebook and is in no way sponsored, supported or organised by Facebook. Each participant fully indemnifies Facebook against all claims arising from participation in the prize competition.
