📊 Scoring & Points
Base Points
| Result | Points | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Exact Score | 10 pts | Predicted 2–1, actual 2–1 |
| ✅ Correct Outcome | 5 pts | Predicted 3–0 (home win), actual 2–1 (home win) |
Extra Time & Penalty Shootouts
For matches that end in a draw and go to extra time / penalties, predictions are graded on the score at the end of extra time (regular time + extra time). Penalty shootout results are shown in brackets like 1(3):1(4) but do not affect your prediction score. For example, if a match ends 1-1 after 120 minutes and goes to a 3-4 penalty shootout, the final result for grading is 1-1 (Draw).
