How Points Work
Predict the score of every match across all 104 games. Points are awarded for correct results, exact scorelines, and picking teams to advance through the knockout rounds. The leaderboard updates automatically after every match.
Group Stage

Knockout Rounds
| Stage | Points |
|---|---|
| Round of 32 — correct winner | 5 pts |

| Final — correct World Cup winner | 40 pts |
⚠ HOW KNOCKOUT PREDICTIONS WORK
You still enter a scoreline for every knockout match — but the score itself does not earn points. Only picking the correct team to advance matters.
If you predict a draw after 90 minutes, the entry form will prompt you to pick an extra time / penalty winner from the two teams. You cannot move on without selecting one.
Points are awarded based on whether your predicted winner actually goes through — regardless of how close your scoreline was.
