Deep Cuts
How Deep Cuts works
Every day there's one football question with lots of correct answers, like "Name a player who has played for both Chelsea and AC Milan". Anyone can name the obvious one. Deep Cuts rewards the player who knows the one nobody else thinks of.
- Bank up to 3 correct answers. You're allowed 3 mistakes.
- Each correct answer scores 0 to 100 on how rarely other players give it. Your total is out of 300.
- Everyone gets the same question, which changes at midnight UK time. Missed a day? Use the arrows or the calendar to play any past question.
Deep Cuts only recognises players in the Ball Knowledge database. If you type a name we don't have, it won't cost you anything.
