4. Scoring System
Worked examples
Incorrect Draw bonus: If you predict any draw and the result is a draw — even if the exact score is different — you receive 3 points for the correct result plus a 3 point incorrect draw bonus. The only way to score 0 points on a draw prediction is if the result is not a draw at all.
5. Futures: Groups, Winner, Underdog & Tiebreak
Before the tournament begins, head to the Futures section in the Predictions dropdown to submit your group finishing order predictions, overall winner pick, underdog selection and tiebreak total. The Futures section is separate from your matchday predictions and locks at the same time — when the first MD1 fixture kicks off. Make sure you complete it before then.
Group Finishing Order
- Drag and drop the four countries in each group into your predicted finishing order.
- Each correct position: 2 pts.
- All 4 correct in a group: 5 pt bonus.
- Maximum per group: 13 pts. Across all 12 groups: 156 pts.
6. Overall Winner Prediction
- Submitted in the Futures section — locks at first MD1 kick-off.
- Predict the tournament winner.
- Correct winner: 40 pts.
- Correct runner-up: 25 pts.
7. Pick Your Underdog
- Submitted in the Futures section — locks at first MD1 kick-off.
- Admin designates one underdog per group (12 in total, A–L) before the tournament begins.
- Choose one underdog from the list of 12.
- If your underdog qualifies for the knockout stages (top 2 in their group, or one of the 8 best 3rd-placed teams), you score 25 pts.
- If they fail to qualify, no points are awarded.
8. The Joker
- One Joker per round — including all knockout rounds.
- Doubles every point earned on that fixture.
- A correct exact scoreline with Joker = 28 pts.
- Cannot be changed after that fixture kicks off.
9. Prizes
- MD1 Winner, MD2 Winner, MD3 Winner and Knockout King each win a share of the prize pool.
- The overall top 10% of players share the remaining prize pool.
10. Tiebreak
- Ties on points are broken by whichever player's predicted total tournament goals is closest to the actual total.
- You submit your tiebreak prediction in the Futures section of the Predictions dropdown.
- Round winner ties are split equally — except the overall winner, which is decided by tiebreak.
