- Wrong result and score: 0 points
Example Scoring

If actual was Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal = 1 point (Wrong result, but only off by 1 goal). If actual was Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal = 0 points (wrong result).
Tie-Breaker Examples
Tie-Breaker Examples
Scenario: Two users both have 30 points (same points, now check score difference).
Tie-breaker: Score Difference - Sum of
actual total goals - predicted total goals
per match.
Actual match result: Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal (3 total goals).
User A predicts: Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal (4 total goals) →
4 - 3
= 1 goal difference
User B predicts: Chelsea 4-0 Arsenal (4 total goals) →
4 - 3
= 1 goal difference
