Till when can I submit my entries?

Enteries are allowed till the scheduled start of every seat.

How many seats can I predict at a time?

You can predict the entire election tournament if you would want to, or as people usually do, one by one.

I see there are two leaderboards - Win Points leaderboard and Prediction Points leaderboard. Please explain me in detail.
Win Points is just predicting the result of every seat. Only that part will be taken into account. Prediction Points includes result, margin and bonus points. This will have a different leaderboard.
Example:

Just predict the winning party of a seat to get points.
Seat 1 : BJP Vs INC
You Predicted : BJP will win the seat
Seat Result : BJP won the seat
1 win point will be awarded for each correct prediction

 
Example:

Predict the margin of victory along with the winning party to get margin points.
Seat 1 : BJP Vs INC
You Predicted : BJP will win by 10 % vote
Seat Result : BJP won by 20 % vote
1 win point for correct prediction and 0.3 margin points wil be awarded

Where can I see the prize details?

You can see it in the prediction home tab.
