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.

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.
