R32 x1 R16 x2 QF x4 SF x8 Third place x16 Final x16

The third-place play-off also uses x16, matching the final weekend weighting.

Predictions lock one hour before the first match in each round and cannot be changed after that.

Examples

Prediction England 2-1 Germany Actual England 3-1 Germany Score 5 pts

Correct result is 6 points, minus 1 because England scored one more than predicted.

Exact score is 12, penalty bonus is 4, then R32 multiplier is x1.

Exact score is 12, then quarter-final multiplier is x4.
