To do that, you have to write in empty Cell a number - point difference for each match. If your prediction is that Nation 1 is going to win, you should type point difference in appropriate Cell of T1 Column.

If your prediction is perfect (correct winner + correct goal difference or a draw) you will earn 7+5=12 points. Depending on difference between your prediction and actual result, earned points will differ. Example Group A Date & Time (GMT +3) Nation 1 T1 T2 Nation 2 May 13th 2022, h. 16:20 France 3 Slovakia If France wins by 3, you will earn 12 points [7 pts for correct winner + 5 pts for point difference] If France wins by 1, you will earn 10 points [7 pts for correct winner + 3 pts for point difference] If France wins by 8, you will earn 7 points [7 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for point difference] If Slovakia wins by 1, you will earn 1 point [0 pts for correct winner + 1 pts for point difference] If Slovakia wins by 2 or more, you will earn 0 points [0 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for point difference] Top 3 Prediction points will be awarded as follow: Correct Predicted 1st Place will be awarded 7 points Correct Predicted 2nd Place will be awarded 5 points Correct Predicted 3rd Place will be awarded 3 points Corrected Predicted Nation in Top 3, but wrong place will be awarded 2 points TB Rules If two or more contestants have the same number of points at the end, Tie-Break rule will be applied to break the tie. Number or perfect predictions throughout the contest will be compared for the involved contestants. If they are still tied, number of second best scores will be compared, then number of third best results and so on. Example Contestant 1: 3x12, 2x11, 2x10 Contestant 2: 3x12, 2x11, 1x10 Contestant 1 will be placed ahead of Contestant 2. Contestant with most points wins the competition. The Ranking is determined by the Sum of Points the Contestant scores in all predicted Matches and Top 3 Predictions. You can enter the Contest whenever you want. The moment you post your predictions is the moment when you are entering the Contest and your points will be calculated for all the matches you predicted AND which haven't started.
