Scoring Rules

All predictions are based on the 90-minute result only. Extra time and penalties do not affect your score prediction.

• 2 points — Correct result (win, draw or loss) at 90 minutes
• 3 points — Exact score at 90 minutes (awarded in addition to the 2 points above)
• 1 point — Each correct goalscorer in normal time (90 minutes)
• +3 bonus points — Perfect prediction: exact score AND every scorer correct
• 0.5 points — From the knockout stages only: if you predicted a player as a scorer and they score in extra time rather than normal time, you will receive half points for that scorer

Example: If you predict a 2–1 win with the correct two scorers in normal time, you would earn 2 (correct result) + 3 (exact score) + 2 (two correct scorers) = 7 points. Get all that right and the perfect bonus kicks in for a total of 10 points.

Good luck everyone! ?
