The goal of the game is to fill in an athlete for each cell that satisfies the criteria for that row and column. You have nine guesses, right or wrong, to complete the grid, and no athlete may be used more than once in the same grid. Both male and female athletes are allowed.

You are awarded 10 points for each correct answer, plus a bonus of between 1 and 10 points based on how obscure the athlete is that you used: someone like Usain Bolt will usually earn you the minimum 1-point bonus, while the least well-known athletes that satisfy the criteria will earn you 10 additional points. This means that the maximum possible score for any grid is 180 points. Every cell has at least five correct answers at the start of the game.
