Rules, scoring, updates, and leaderboard

Scoring Rules

How points are calculated

• Exact score prediction: 10 points.
• Correct winner or correct draw (but wrong exact score): 3 points.
• Knockout draw-decider bonus (only when you predict a draw score): +3 points for correct winner after extra time, or +6 points for correct winner after penalties.
• Wrong outcome: 0 points.

Prediction Flow

How to submit predictions

1. Create an account and sign in.
2. Open My Predictions from the top menu.
3. Enter home and away goals for each match.
4. For knockout matches, if you predict a draw score, optionally select who advances (after extra time or penalties).
5. Click Save All Predictions.
6. You can edit predictions until kickoff time.
7. After kickoff, that match is locked automatically.

Match Updates

When and how data updates

• Live match updates are pulled from the configured online source.
• Auto-sync is triggered during page visits, based on the configured interval.
• Signed-in users can force a refresh with Sync Matches Now on the dashboard.
• If no live API key is configured, the platform uses the built-in placeholder schedule.

Leaderboard Logic

How ranking is sorted

• Primary sort: total points (highest first).
• Tie-breaker 1: number of exact-score hits (highest first).
• Tie-breaker 2: username (alphabetical order).
• The leaderboard updates automatically after scores are refreshed and points are recalculated.
