Rules & scoring
Points are awarded based on prediction accuracy. Exact scores earn the most, and bracket points scale with each knockout round.
General rules
- Pick locks
- Match-score picks lock at each match's kickoff. Global pick'em locks when the first match of the tournament starts.
- You can keep editing
- Picks stay editable until they lock. Update them anytime before then — only the latest version counts.
- Match-score picks
- Match-score picks use the final result, including extra time. Penalty shootouts only determine which team advances from a round — they don't affect match-score picks.
- Tiebreakers
- Group standings follow FIFA tiebreakers.
