Predicting the matches

Predict the end score of all the matches in the tournament/competition and climb the leaderboard. You have until 15 minutes before the start of a match to add or change your prediction. The server time is used. No discussion about that, so be on time if you want to fill in your scores.

Each week you will see the next batch of upcoming matches. Simply add your score prediction to each match, win points and climb the leaderboard! Once the teams are through to the knockout rounds, they will be made available to add your next predictions. All game predictions can be changed up until 15 minutes before the game starts.

The bonus questions

You can earn extra points during the tournament with the bonus questions. These questions must be answered before a given date and time. Each questions shows the points you can earn.

The scoring

In the group phase the scores at the end of the game are used for the calculation of the scores. For final rounds the score at the end of the game including extra time is used. Goals in a penalty shoot-out are not taken into consideration.

You get points for predicting the correct winner of the match or prediction of a draw. We call this the toto score. In case you also predict the exact amount of goals scored, you get extra points. We call this the full score. If you got the goals correct you get the extra goal bonus, even if you didn’t get the match result correct (e.g. match ends in 1-1 and you predicted 0-1 you will still get 0 points). The last scoring options is the goal difference bonus: if you predict the correct winner, not the exact score, but you predicted the correct difference in goals, you get the goal difference bonus (e.g. you predicted 3-1 or 4-2 and result is 2-0).

Golden Balls!

GOLDEN BALLS! – Each player has TWO ‘Golden Balls’, if you select the Golden Ball (or Joker) icon next to any match, the points you earn for that match will be doubled! You can place the golden ball next to any match, and can change your mind and move it to a different match, as long as that match is still outside of 15 minutes before kick off. After this time, the golden ball is activated and your prediction for the match is locked. Use them wisely!

Note: As the competition progresses, the latest matches will appear on this page for you to add your predictions.

Same ranking?

When multiple players have the exact same amount of points, then the following sorting rules are applied on the ranking (most important one at the top):

1. amount of full scores;
2. amount of toto scores;
3. amount of correct bonus questions.
