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

PredictionWinnerRegPSOTotal
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+50+15
2–2 / Croatia wins (wrong reg, wrong PSO winner)0+50+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.
