One ticket. One set of picks. One leaderboard.

How it works

1. Each ticket is a token in a wallet. Each token has its own picks, points, and rank. A wallet can hold more than one ticket, and each token is ranked separately.
2. For each token, you make picks across the tournament: match scores, knockout team-result picks, group standings, the champion, and a single tiebreaker.
3. Picks are editable until they lock. Each pick locks by time, at the kickoff that applies to it.
4. When a pick locks, its final value becomes public and is scored as matches resolve.
5. Points accumulate on the token, and tokens are ranked against each other on the leaderboard.

Saving and editing picks is off-chain and gasless — it does not require a wallet transaction.

Match scoring

You pick a regulation-time score for every one of the 104 matches.

Match-score picks are regulation-time score picks. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not change how a match score is graded — the score is always read at the end of regulation. What happens in extra time or a shootout can decide the team-result pick (below) and, for goals, feeds the tiebreaker: extra-time goals count toward the tournament-goals tiebreaker, while penalty shootout goals never count as match goals or as tiebreaker goals.

Team-result picks

On every knockout match, you also make a team-result pick. This is scored on its own, separately from the match score.

• What you are picking depends on the round: in most knockout rounds, it is the team that advances to the next round; in the Final, it is the team that wins the Final; in the third-place match, it is the team that wins third place.
• Correct team-result pick: +1 point, added to that match before the round multiplier is applied.
• The team-result pick can score even if your match score is wrong, and the other way around.
• It counts however the result is reached — in regulation, after extra time, or after a penalty shootout. You are picking the outcome, not how it is reached.

Group standings

For each of the 12 groups, you pick the top two teams in order.

Champion

You pick the champion across three windows. Your pick carries forward automatically from one window to the next unless you change it, and each window is scored on whatever team is locked when that window closes. The windows are scored independently and add together.

Holding the eventual champion through all three windows is worth the full 40 points. Switching to the eventual champion later still earns the points for any windows you hold them through.

Tiebreaker

You pick the total number of goals scored across all 104 matches.

• Counts regulation and extra-time goals only.
• Penalty shootout goals are not counted.
• One value per token.

The tiebreaker is one input into the final standing order, not the first. Standings are decided in this order:

1. Total points.
2. Exact match-score hit count.
3. Tournament-goals tiebreaker distance — how close your total-goals pick is to the actual total.
4. If tokens are still level after all three, they share the standing.

So the total-goals tiebreaker only comes into play after total points and exact match-score hit count, and only between tokens still level on both.

Round multipliers

Every match's points — including the team-result pick — are multiplied by the round multiplier for that match.

Points can be fractional. Group standings, the champion, and the tiebreaker are not multiplied.

When picks lock

Every lock is by time. Once a pick locks, it cannot be changed.

The tiebreaker locks once at the start and never reopens.

Locked picks are public

Before a pick locks, it is private — only the token owner can see it.

When a pick locks, its final value becomes public and appears on the leaderboard and the token's detail view. Only the final locked value is shown; how often a pick was edited is never surfaced.

The current token owner controls every pick that is still open and holds the token's rank and points record. If a token changes hands, control of any still-open picks — and the token's points and rank — moves with it.
