HOW IT WORKS
Scoring & leaderboard rules for group stage and knockout rounds.
Predicting
- Predict the final scoreline for each match.
- Predictions lock 30 minutes before kickoff — a live countdown shows the time left.
- You can update your prediction any time until it locks.
Scoring
+10
Correct result (win or draw)
+15
Exact score
+5
Right goal difference (not exact)
Outcome points and score points add up. Examples:
If a team wins
- Right winner only → 10 pts
- Right winner + right goal difference → 15 pts
- Right winner + exact score → 25 pts
If it's a draw
- Draw, but not exact score → 15 pts
- Draw with exact score → 25 pts
Wrong outcome → 0 pts
Knockout Rounds
R32 → Final
There are no draws in knockout football — one team always advances. You predict whether the match is decided in regular time or ends in a draw that goes to a penalty shootout (PSO).
Decisive win
Pick a winner and predict the regular-time score (e.g. 2–1). No penalty inputs.
Draw → PSO
Predict a draw scoreline (e.g. 1–1), then pick who wins on pens and the shootout score (e.g. 4–3).
Points breakdown
- Correct advancing team — +10
- Regular-time score — +15 exact / +5 right goal difference. Scored only when your predicted outcome type matches (decisive vs draw→PSO).
- Penalty shootout score — +15 exact / +5 right goal difference. Only scored when you predicted PSO and the match actually went to PSO.
Example — Actual result: 1–1 (reg) · 4–3 (PSO) · Austria advances
| Prediction | Winner | Reg | PSO | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–1 / 4–3 (both exact) | +10 | +15 | +15 | +40 |
| 2–2 / 4–3 (wrong reg, exact PSO) | +10 | +5 | +15 | +30 |
| 1–1 / 5–4 (exact reg, wrong PSO margin) | +10 | +15 | +5 | +30 |
| 2–2 / 5–4 (wrong reg, wrong PSO margin) | +10 | +5 | +5 | +20 |
| 2–2 / 6–4 Austria (wrong reg, wrong PSO score & margin) | +10 | +5 | 0 | +15 |
| 2–2 / Croatia wins (wrong reg, wrong PSO winner) | 0 | +5 | 0 | +5 |
* Any predicted draw vs an actual draw always earns reg goal-difference points — every draw has a 0 goal margin.
Leaderboard
- Only players who have made a prediction appear.
- You're ranked once your predictions start getting scored.
- Ranked by total points — equal points share the same rank.
- Predicted but nothing scored yet → shown without a rank.
