FAQ

The score is calculated by taking the weighted average of the scores obtained for the different criteria selected during the prediction.

Name style 1 20/20 for a correct answer, 0/20 for a wrong answer.
Name 4 20/20 for a perfectly guessed name. Then, the closer the name in terms of letters, the higher the score. For example, with a little 'Hélène,' bientot9mois automatically calculates a score of 17/20 with the name 'Éléonore' and 9/20 with the name 'Charles.'

A prediction cannot be modified.

But if you made a mistake, you can ask the future parents to delete your prediction so you can play again.

Our Baby Registry is a multi-store list. It allows you to reserve items to avoid duplicate gifts.

The purchase of products is not done on 'Bientôt 9 mois' but directly on the seller's websites.

You can buy the product by clicking on the link (product title) indicated both in the Baby Registry and in the reservation confirmation email.

If you made a mistake when reserving an item, contact the creator of the Baby Registry to have your reservation deleted.

To participate in the Baby Pool, it is essential to provide a valid email address. This will allow us to keep you informed of the game's progress, announce the birth, and show you the prediction rankings. Without a valid email address, it will not be possible to participate in the game.

The functionality of partial participation for the purchase of a gift is not yet available. We are currently working to offer you this feature as soon as possible.

For multiple births, you need to create one game per baby.

During the game, participants can only see other players' answers if the parents directly share the link to the response page with them. The results page, which includes all players' responses, is shared only at the time of the birth announcement. At that point, all participants will be able to view each other's predictions without accessing their private information.

Family names, addresses, emails, photos, and personal messages remain fully confidential, visible only to you and the parents. Other players will only have access to information about the baby's characteristics, as well as the scores and rankings.
