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

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 — a hypothetical Austria vs Croatia · Final result: 1–1 (reg), 4–3 on penalties → Austria advances

Prediction	Winner	Reg	PSO	Total
1–1 / 4–3 pens, Austria (reg exact, PSO exact)	+10	+15	+15	+40
2–2 / 4–3 pens, Austria (reg right margin, PSO exact)	+10	+5	+15	+30
1–1 / 5–4 pens, Austria (reg exact, PSO right margin)	+10	+15	+5	+30
1–1 / 6–4 pens, Austria (reg exact, PSO wrong)	+10	+15	0	+25
2–2 / 5–4 pens, Austria (reg right margin, PSO right margin)	+10	+5	+5	+20
1–1 / Croatia wins pens (reg exact, wrong PSO winner)	0	+15	0	+15
2–2 / 6–4 pens, Austria (reg right margin, PSO wrong)	+10	+5	0	+15
Austria to win 2–1 in regular time † (winner only)	+10	0	0	+10
2–2 / Croatia wins pens (reg right margin, wrong PSO winner)	0	+5	0	+5
Croatia to win 2–1 in regular time † (nothing right)	0	0	0	0

Right margin = correct goal difference but not the exact score. A predicted draw vs an actual draw always lands here (every draw is a 0-goal margin).

† Predicted a regular-time win, but the match went to penalties — the regular-time vs penalties call is wrong, so no Reg or PSO points apply; only the winner can still score.

On your scored predictions this shows as W: (Winner) and S: (Reg + PSO), which add up to your total.

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.
