Rules
Scoring
- 1 point for correctly predicting the result (home win, away win, draw).
- 3 bonus points for an exact score match. Stacks with the result point for 4 total.
- Group stage: 90-minute score only.
- Knockouts: end-of-extra-time score. Penalty shootouts are ignored (a draw after ET still earns the result point if predicted as a draw).
- Finalist bonus: each player predicts both World Cup finalists. Points TBD.
