⚡ Double Down
Once per round (a group of matches in a matchday), you can Double Down on ONE match. All points from that match are multiplied by ×2. You must activate it before that match kicks off. If you forget, it auto-activates on the last match of the round.
📊 Against-the-Odds Bonus
Pre-match bookmaker odds are averaged across all available bookmakers. If your correct prediction was unlikely, you earn bonus points on top:
bonus = base points × (1 − 1 ÷ avg_odds)
Base points = outcome pts (3) + exact goal pts (up to 2) + goal difference pt (up to 1). Maximum base = 6.
Pick the favourite (odds ~1.4, 70% chance) → small bonus (~+30% of base pts)
Pick a draw (odds ~4.4, 23% chance) → solid bonus (~+77% of base pts)
Pick the underdog (odds ~8.5, 12% chance) → big bonus (~+88% of base pts)
🔒 Odds are hidden while predicting — you'll see the implied probability revealed after your prediction locks in. No gaming the system!
🥅 First Goalscorer Rules
Dropdown shows all squad players plus two Own Goal options (one per team — "OG by [team] player" means that team's player scored into their own net) and "No goalscorer"
If an own goal is scored, pick which team scored it — must match the correct team → 3 pts
Pick "No goalscorer" and no first goalscorer is recorded (e.g. 0–0 match) → 3 pts
If the real first scorer isn't in the dropdown (edge case) → prediction is void (no points lost)
Skipping this field entirely → no penalty
🏅 Golden Boot
Before the first match of the tournament, predict who will be the top scorer of the whole tournament. Locks when the tournament begins and cannot be changed after that. Worth +15 pts if correct, or +5 pts if your pick finishes as runner-up. In case of joint top scorers, all of them count as winners (+15 pts each).
👁️ Visibility Rules
You cannot see other players' predictions before a match kicks off
After kickoff, everyone's predictions are revealed
Points appear after the match ends
Predictions lock exactly at kickoff — no grace period. Miss it and you get 0
⚽ Knockout Stage Note
If a knockout match goes to extra time and then penalties, the result used for scoring is the score after extra time (penalties don't count). A 1-1 draw after extra time = 1-1 for everyone.
