Football forecast - Rules for points attribution


  1. General principles


    1. Correctly forecasted score


      2. 1. end of game and half-time .................... 15 pts
      2. end of game only .................... 8 pts
      3. half-time only .................... 4 pts

    2. Correctly forecasted tip


      3. 1. end of game and half-time .................... 4 pts
      2. end of game only .................... 2 pts
      3. half-time only .................... 1 pts

    Note: bonus for same score difference at the end of the game
    When the score difference at the end of the game was correctly forecasted, a bonus of 2 points is rewarded. This rule does not apply in the case of a draw, and not when the score has been correctly forecasted (cf. II. Special cases, cumulations).

  2. Special cases


    1. Cumulations


      2. In any game, only the following cumulations are possible (cf. I. General principles):
      * a2 + b3 .................... final score and half-time tip correct
      * a3 + b2 .................... final tip and half-time score correct
      * a3 + b2 + bonus .................... final tip and half-time score correct, final score difference correct
      * b1 + bonus .................... final tip and half-time tip correct, final score difference correct
      * b2 + bonus .................... final tip correct, final score difference correct

    2. Draw with a score of 0-0


      3. When a game ends with a final result of 0-0, the point 1a of the general principles cannot apply (the reason being that a correctly forecasted final 0-0 is automatically correct at half-time as well).
      Therefore, a correctly forecasted 0-0 gives 12 points.
