Scoring

In the group matches by predicting a correct score you are in effect forecasting 3 main outcomes;
- the actual result, whether or not both teams will score and if the game has under or over 2.5 goals.

Points will be awarded as follows for all of the 48 group matches;

3pts for the correct result of the game (1,X,2)
1pt for correctly predicting if both teams score (or not)
1pt for correctly predicting under or over 2.5 goals
1pt Bonus for every correct score predicted

Eg:
Prediction 2-1 - Actual result 3-0 = score 4pts (3pts for home win, 1pt for over 2.5)
Prediction 0-0 - Actual result 0-1 = score 2pts (1pt for under 2.5 goals, 1pt for BTTS No)
Prediction 3-1 - Actual result 4-2 = score 5pts (3pts for home win, 1pt over 2.5, 1pt BTTS)
Prediction 1-3 - Actual result 1-3 = score 6pts (3pts away win, 1pt over 2.5, 1pt BTTS, 1pt CS)

Knock Out Phase

5pts if any of your nominated teams win their group
5pts if any of your nominated teams win a Last 16 match
5pts if any of your nominated teams win a Last 8 match
