Rulebook
How it works
Three rules, one pool, picks that lock the second the ball rolls.
01Submitting predictions
Predict the exact final score (regulation + extra time, no penalties counted) for every World Cup 2026 match. Open a match's page, enter the two scores, save.
You can edit your pick any number of times until kickoff. After kickoff, the database itself refuses any change — no late edits, no exceptions.
02Points
- 5Exact score.
- 3Correct winner (or draw) AND correct goal difference.
- 1Correct winner only.
- 0Wrong winner.
03Tie-breakers
When two players share a point total, the higher rank goes to:
- 1More exact-score hits.
- 2Then more correct-winner-with-goal-difference hits.
- 3Then the earlier most-recent submission timestamp.
04Global leaderboard
One ranking across the whole tournament. Every player's total is the sum of points across every finished match — no daily windows, no timezone splits.
The board refreshes the moment an admin posts a final score, and ties break on the rules in Section 03.
