Definitions

35.3.1   Clean sheets: A clean sheet is granted to a player who plays at least 60 minutes (excluding stoppage time) without the opposing team scoring. If a player is substituted before a goal is conceded, it will not have any impact on their eligibility for a clean sheet bonus.

35.3.2   Red Cards: Once a player receives a red card, they will continue to face penalties for any goals conceded by their team.

35.3.3   Assists: Assists are awarded to the player from the team that scores, who delivers the last pass leading to the goal. An assist is credited regardless of whether the pass was made intentionally (directly creating the scoring opportunity) or made unintentionally (requiring the player to dribble the ball or resulting from an inadvertent touch or shot). However, if an opposing player significantly alters the ball after the final pass, no assist is awarded. Similarly, if a defensive error by an opposing player occurs after an opposing player's touch, no assist will be awarded. Additionally, if the goal scorer loses possession and then regains it before scoring, no assist is awarded.

35.3.4   An assist is awarded if a shot on goal is obstructed by the opposition, saved by the goalkeeper, or hits the framework, and a goal is subsequently scored from the rebound. The initial shot does not need to be on target for an assist to be credited.

35.3.5   Own goals: An assist is awarded if a player takes a shot or makes a pass that forces an opposing player to score an own goal.

35.3.6   Penalties and Free-Kicks: The player earning the penalty or free-kick is awarded an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if he takes it himself, in which case no assist is awarded.

35.3.7   Bonus Points: The Smarkets Bonus Points (SBP) system uses a range of statistics to create a SBP score for each player. Bonus points will be given to the top three performing players in each match. The player with the highest score will receive 3 points, the second-best player will receive 2 points, and the third-best player will receive 1 point.
