How match predictions earn points
Match predictions are scored with a simple points table. Private league leaderboards use these totals.
Points per match prediction
5
Exact score
You predicted the full-time score exactly (home and away goals).
3
Correct goal difference
The margin of victory matches, even if the exact score does not.
2
Correct outcome
You picked the right winner or draw, but not the margin.
0
Incorrect prediction
Wrong winner or draw — no points for that match.

The free bracket simulator is separate from scored match predictions. Bracket save and share links do not affect league points.
Private league leaderboards rank members by the sum of match prediction points using the rules above.
