How you climb: clash first, predict too
Two things move you up the Star Clash board — and Squad Clash is the main one: star trophies from Clash Now and live PvP battles carry 70% of your score. Predicting real World Cup matches (the Game Oracle) makes up the remaining 30% — every match you enter and every point you earn counts.

Ranked clashes earn star trophies — friendlies don't
Win battles through Clash Now or the live PvP queue and the trophies count toward your tournament score. Friend challenges are pure friendlies now — no coins, no trophies, no ranking impact, just bragging rights. Losing ranked clashes still costs a few trophies, so reckless spamming won't help; winning is what climbs the board.
- 4
Your score
The board shows your matches predicted, star points, star trophies, your rank and a single SCORE. Trophies carry 70% of the blend; the prediction side makes up the rest — and only play after you join counts. No head starts, nothing carried in.

Use a real, active email
Your Google sign-in email is how we contact winners and deliver vouchers. Play with an active mailbox you can access — a prize we can't deliver within 14 days may be forfeited to the next rank.
- 6
One account, one name, fair play
One entry per person under one unique tournament name. Duplicate accounts, bots, score manipulation, win-trading or any exploit means disqualification — every winner is verified before prizes go out, and standings affected by verified bugs may be corrected.
- 7
Be respectful in the community
The community guidelines apply everywhere — Oracle Hall, Clash Halls, chats. Abusive, hateful or spammy behaviour disqualifies you from the tournament, whatever your rank.
