Log in and make your predictions before each round deadline.
Scoring system
Points are awarded per match based on how close your prediction is to the actual 90-minute score.
The 25-point exact scoreline award stands alone — it does not stack with outcome or individual score points.
Normal time only (90 min + injury time)
All predictions and scoring are based on the score after 90 minutes of normal time (injury time included). Extra time and penalty shootouts do not count. If a match finishes 1–1 after 90 minutes but one team wins on penalties, the competition result is 1–1.
Worked example
Actual score: 2–1
Round multipliers
Every match gets more valuable as the tournament progresses. The further you go, the more each correct prediction is worth — so no one is out of it until the final whistle.
Prediction deadlines
Predictions lock automatically at the deadline — enforced server-side, no exceptions.
Tiebreakers
If two or more players finish level on points, tiebreakers apply in order:
Prize structure
Entry fee is EUR 10 per person. The prize split will be confirmed and published here before the tournament starts. Prizes will be paid within 14 days of the World Cup Final on 19 July 2026, via Revolut or bank transfer.
