Rules of the Game
Predict the score of every game. Points are awarded per game once the result is in: a base score from how well you called the scoreline, plus a +1 bonus for correctly picking a knockout penalties winner.
Group games
The score you enter implies the outcome (home win / away win / draw), shown live as you type. There are no penalties — a drawn group game is simply a draw.
Knockout games
The “score” is the score after extra time (if the game goes that far). A drawn knockout score means the tie was settled on penalties, so when you predict a draw you must also pick which team wins the shoot-out. Admins enter results the same way: the after-extra-time score, plus the penalties winner for a draw.
The penalties bonus needs both your prediction and the result to be draws and your penalties pick to be right — the drawn scorelines don’t have to be identical. It adds +1 to your base score: predicting 1–1 against a 2–2 result scores 3 (2 for the draw plus 1 for the shoot-out), while an exact drawn score with the right pick scores the full 4.
Worked examples
The leaderboard
Players are ranked by total points. Ties are broken, in order, by:
- the most exact scores (games where your predicted home and away scores both matched the result — whether that earned 3 or 4 points);
- then the most games you scored points in (games worth more than 0 points).
Players who are still level after that share a place: two players tied for 1st are both 1st, and the next player is 3rd (the skipped place reflects the tie). Tied rows are listed alphabetically by name purely to keep the order stable — names no longer decide your position.
