  • How do I check if I am eligible for a reward ?

    You can navigate to your “My Wallet” section on you fanzania profile and view your rewards under the “My Rewards” section. You should be able to see a breakdown of all your rewards won.

  • How is my rank calculated in Match mode ?

    fanzania uses a unique ranking system in the Match Contest Mode ensuring that no two players share the same rank. Prizes are distributed based on this unique rank, that is calculated using the following criteria:

    Criteria 1: Total Points earned – The team earning the most points ranks higher than the others. In case the Total Points earned by two teams are tied then the following three additional Criteria are applied to decide the unique rank.

    Criteria 2: Captain’s Points - If two teams earn the same total points, then the team whose captain scores the most points ranks higher than then other team.

    Criteria 3: Vice-Captain’s Points - If two teams earn the same Total Points and their Captains also score the same points then, the team whose Vice-Captain scores the most points ranks higher than the other team.

    Criteria 4: fanzania Team Creation time - If two teams have the same Total Points, Captain’s points as well as Vice Captain’s points, then the team that was created in fanzania first ranks higher than the other team.

    We do not anticipate Criteria 4 to be the same for any two players and the buck stops here !
