If your prediction is that Nation 2 is going to score 1 goal, then type that number in appropriate Cell of T2 Column. From the Quarterfinals and onward, result at the end of eventual overtime (BEFORE penalties/shoot out) will count as final result.

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.
