How is scoring calculated?

You earn 1 point for a correct winner and 3 points for an exact score. A confidence multiplier (1–5 stars) boosts your reward but also increases the penalty if you are wrong.

When does the prediction deadline close?

You can edit predictions up to 1 hour before each match kicks off. After that, predictions are locked.

For each match:

②Set your confidence — rate 1–5 stars how sure you are. Higher confidence = more points if correct, but more risk if wrong.
③Click away — your prediction saves automatically when you click outside the input. No "Submit" button needed.
