Scoring rules

FAQ

How predictions, odds, and bonus points turn into the leaderboard.

Short version

Pick the final score before kickoff. Once the official result is set, the leaderboard awards odds-based base points for correct winners, then adds score-shape bonuses.

Formula

Total points = base points + bonus points.

How base points work

A correct winner earns 5-20 base points. Picking a bigger underdog is worth more: probabilities at or below 15% score 20, probabilities at or above 90% score 5, and values in between are rounded linearly.

If odds were not synced for that match, a correct winner falls back to 5 base points.

If the predicted winner is wrong, base points are 0. Draw predictions currently do not earn odds-based winner points.

Bonus points

  • Exact score: +5
  • Winner goals, non-exact only: +3
  • Goal difference, non-exact only: +2
  • Loser goals, non-exact only: +1
  • Rout, when the winning side scores 4+ in both prediction and result: +1
  • Correct winner after extra time: +3
  • Correct winner after penalties: +3

Common questions

When do predictions lock?

Each match stays editable until kickoff. After kickoff, that prediction is locked.

When are points calculated?

Points appear after an admin syncs or saves the match result. Scores are calculated from the leaderboard view, so changing scoring settings or results recalculates completed matches on read.

How are extra time and penalties handled?

The score line is compared against the match goals. If the match is decided on penalties, the penalty shootout decides the winner for correct-winner scoring and can add the penalty bonus.

Where do odds come from?

Admins sync odds snapshots before matches. The app converts bookmaker decimal odds into fair home/draw/away probabilities and uses the home or away probability for the team you picked to win.
