01. How It Works

Before the tournament kicks off, every participant submits a single set of predictions covering all stages — from the group stage right through to the final. Once submitted, predictions are locked. Points accumulate automatically as real results come in.

Step 01

Fill in the predictions form.

Step 02

Submit before the deadline.

Step 03

Watch points roll in.

02. What You Need To Predict

03. Points System

Points are awarded per correct prediction. They accumulate across all stages — later rounds are worth more, reflecting how much harder those calls are.

Top 2 Finalist10 pt20 pt
World Cup Winner15 pt15 pt
Bonus: correct 1st & 2nd in a group2 pt per group24 pt
Total possible score127 pts

* The group stage bonus is earned when you correctly predict both which team finishes 1st and 2nd in a group — in the right order. Points accumulate throughout the tournament — you don't need a perfect sheet to score well.

04. Rules & Guidelines

Submission deadline: All predictions must be submitted before the first match of the tournament. No exceptions.

  • Locked predictions: Once submitted, no changes are allowed. That's what makes it fun.

  • Tiebreaker: If two participants finish with the same score, the one with more points in later rounds (finalist and winner) ranks higher.

  • Optional participation: This is purely for fun. There are no stakes, no penalties.

  • One entry per person: Each participant submits a single prediction sheet.
